During nuclear fission, great amounts of energy are produced from____. A. particle accelerators B. tremendous amounts of mass C.
2 answers:
Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Nuclear fission is a process in which a large nucleus splits into two or more small nuclei.
For example,
The neutrons produced in the reaction will again react with plutonium and thus it will form a series of chain reaction. As a result, there will be continuous reaction of neutrons with the plutonium atom thus, it will create a great amount of energy.
Thus, we can conclude that during nuclear fission, great amounts of energy are produced from a series of chemical reactions.

Explanation:
According to Le Chatelier's principle, any disturbance caused in an equilibrium reaction will shift the equilibrium in a direction that will oppose the change.
As the given reaction is as follows.
(a) When increase the temperature of the reactants or system then equilibrium will shift in forward direction where there is less temperature. It is possible for an endothermic reaction.
Thus, formation of will increase.
- (b) When we decrease the volume (at constant temperature) of given reaction mixture then it implies that there will be increase in pressure of the system. So, equilibrium will shift in a direction where there will be decrease in composition of gaseous phase. That is, in the backward direction reaction will shift.
Hence, formation of will decrease with decrease in volume.
- When we increase the mount of
then equilibrium will shift in the direction of decrease in concentration that is, in the forward direction.
Thus, we can conclude that formation of will increase then.
