The phrase which best describes nuclear fusion is: A. the process by which small nuclei combine into a larger nucleus.

A nuclear reaction can be defined as a type of chemical reaction in which the nucleus of an atom of a radioactive chemical element is transformed by either being joined (fusion) or split (fission) with the nucleus of another atom of a radioactive chemical element and accompanied by a release of energy.

Generally, there are two (2) main types of nuclear reaction and these include:

Nuclear fission: it involves the collision of a heavy atomic nucleus with a neutron, thereby causing a split and release of energy.

Nuclear fusion: it involves the joining of two smaller nuclei of atoms to form a single massive or heavier (larger) nucleus with the release of energy.

In conclusion, nuclear fusion is best described as the process by which small nuclei combine into a larger nucleus, accompanied by a release of energy.

slega [8]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\math{\dfrac{\text{6 mol thiosulfate}}{\text{1 mol iodate}}}}$

Explanation:

The I₂ is the common substance in the two equations.

(1) IO₃⁻ + 5I⁻ + 6H⁺ ⟶ 3I₂ + 3H₂O

{2) I₂ + 2S₂O₃²⁻ ⟶ 2I⁻ + S₄O₆²⁻

From Equation (1), the molar ratio of iodate to iodine is

$\dfrac{\text{I}_{2}}{\text{IO}_{3}^{-}} = \dfrac{3}{1}$

From Equation (2), the molar ratio of iodine to thiosulfate is

$\dfrac{\text{S$_{2}$O}_{3}^{2-}}{\text{I}_{2}} = \dfrac{2}{1}$

Combining the two ratios, we get

$\text{Stoichiometric factor} = \dfrac{\text{S$_{2}$O}_{3}^{2-}}{\text{IO}_{3}^{-}} = \dfrac{\text{S$_{2}$O}_{3}^{2-}}{\text{I}_{2}} \times \dfrac{\text{I}_{2}}{\text{IO}_{3}^{-}} = \dfrac{2}{1} \times \dfrac{3}{1} = \mathbf{\dfrac{6}{1}}\\\\\text{The stoichiometric factor is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{\dfrac{\text{6 mol thiosulfate}}{\text{1 mol iodate}}}}$}$

Even at high T, the formation of NO is not favored:

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

3,16x10⁻³M

Explanation:

For the reaction:

N₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2NO(g). The kc is defined as:

kc = [NO]² / [N₂] [O₂] = 4,10x10⁻⁴ (1)

If you add in a 1,0L container 0,25 mol of N₂ and 0,10 mol of O₂, concentrations in equilibrium will be:

[N₂] = 0,25M - x

[O₂] = 0,10M - x

[NO] = 2x

Replacing in (1):

[2X]² / [0,25-x] [0,10-x] = 4,10x10⁻⁴

[2X]² / 0,025 - 0,35x + x²= 4,10x10⁻⁴

4X² = 4,10x10⁻⁴x² - 1,435x10⁻⁴x + 1,025x10⁻⁵

3,99959x² + 1,435x10⁻⁴x - 1,025x10⁻⁵ = 0

Solving for x:

x = -0,0016 (Wrong answer, there is no negative concentrations)

x = 0,00158 (Right answer)

As molar concentration of NO in equilibrium is 2x:

[NO] = 2x = 2×0,00158 = 3,16x10⁻³M

I hope it helps!

g Acetic acid is diluted with water to make a solution of vinegar. You have a sample of vinegar that contains 16.7 g of acetic a

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

0.278 mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Given and required data

Mass of acetic acid (m): 16.7 g

Chemical formula of acetic acid: CH₃COOH (C₂H₄O₂)

Step 2: Calculate the molar mass (M) of acetic acid

We will use the following expression.

M(C₂H₄O₂) = 2 × M(C) + 4 × M(H) + 2 × M(O)

M(C₂H₄O₂) = 2 × 12.01 g/mol + 4 × 1.01 g/mol + 2 × 16.00 g/mol = 60.06 g/mol

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles (n) of acetic acid

We will use the following expression.

n = m/M

n = 16.7 g/(60.06 g/mol) = 0.278 mol
