It is possible to make a model of a fission chain reaction with mousetraps and table tennis balls, with the balls placed on an a

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

The table tennis balls represent neutrons that are released when the nucleus splits and cause other nuclei to split

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is defined as the separation of a nucleus into two smaller nuclei.

It takes a neutron to set off a nuclear fission reaction. When that occurs, neutrons are released and those neutrons in turn are what set off other nuclear fissions. This is defined as a Nuclear Fission Chain Reaction. In the model, the one tennis ball that will be thrown will be modeled as the starting neutron that sets of the initial (first) fission. The mouse traps with tennis balls represent the other nucleuses waiting to be struck by the one tennis ball. Once the initial tennis ball strikes the first mouse trap, that mouse trap will release its tennis ball hitting others and continuing the cycle.

It can also be modeled as such:

Balance the following skeleton reaction and identify the oxidizing and reducing agents: Include the states of all reactants and

coldgirl [10]

Answer :

a. The oxidizing agent is: $BH_4^-$

b. The reducing agent is: $ClO_3^-$

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

Reducing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to reduce and itself gets oxidized. Thus, it will undergo oxidation reaction.

Oxidizing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to oxidize and itself gets reduced. Thus, it will undergo reduction reaction.

The given chemical reaction is,

$BH_4^-(aq)+ClO_3^-(aq)\rightarrow H_2BO_3^-(aq)+Cl^-(aq)$

The oxidation-reduction half reaction will be :

Oxidation : $BH_4^-\rightarrow H_2BO_3^-$

Reduction : $ClO_3^-\rightarrow Cl^-$

Now balance oxygen atom on both side.

Oxidation : $BH_4^-\rightarrow H_2BO_3^-+3H_2O$

Reduction : $ClO_3^-+3H_2O\rightarrow Cl^-$

Now balance hydrogen atom on both side.

Oxidation : $BH_4^-+4OH^-\rightarrow H_2BO_3^-+3H_2O$

Reduction : $ClO_3^-+3H_2O\rightarrow Cl^-+6OH^-$

Now balance the charge.

Oxidation : $BH_4^-+4OH^-\rightarrow H_2BO_3^-+3H_2O+4e^-$

Reduction : $ClO_3^-+3H_2O+6e^-\rightarrow Cl^-+6OH^-$

In order to balance the electrons, we multiply the oxidation reaction by 6 and reduction reaction by 4 and then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

Oxidation : $6BH_4^-+24OH^-\rightarrow 6H_2BO_3^-+18H_2O+24e^-$
