Which best describes nuclear fission

Firlakuza [10]

<span>Nuclear fission is either a nuclear reaction or radio active decay process in which nucleus (the center) of an atom splits into smaller parts called nuclei. This is an extremely exothermic reaction (i.e a reaction which produces heat) resulting into release of massive amount of energy in the form of heat and sometimes light. The reaction produces much more energy as compared to a similar mass of a conventional fuel, such as Petrol/Kerosene/Petroleum Gas etc. This makes Nuclear fission an extremely dense and at times very destructive source of energy. Some common elements capable of Nuclear fission are Uranium, Plutonium etc. Though in modern days Nuclear Fission are finding application in being a source of energy (such as a Nuclear power plant), but they are also used in destructive format as Nuclear Bombs and it's one of the top most imminent threats to the existence of humanity in future (in the event of a Nuclear war).</span>

How would you prepare 500 mL of 0.360 M solution of CaCl2 from<br> solid CaCl2?

LenKa [72]

We need to measure 20.0 grams of CaCl₂ to prepare 500 mL of 0.360 M solution.

First, we need to determine the required moles of CaCl₂. We have 500 mL (0.500 L) of a 0.360 M solution (0.360 moles of CaCl₂ per liter of solution).

$0.500 L \times \frac{0.360mol}{L} = 0.180 mol$

Then, we will convert 0.180 moles to grams using the molar mass of CaCl₂ (110.98 g/mol).

$0.180 mol \times \frac{110.98g}{mol} = 20.0 g$

To prepare the solution, we weigh 20.0 g of CaCl₂ and add it to a beaker with enough distilled water to dissolve it. We stir it, heat it if necessary, and when we have a solution, we transfer it to a 500 mL flask and complete it to the mark with distilled water.

We need to measure 20.0 grams of CaCl₂ to prepare 500 mL of 0.360 M solution.

What forms when two atoms combine? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Option A - nucleus

Explanation:

A molecule is formed when two or more atoms join together chemically. If atoms combine that are of two or more different elements, we call that a compound. All compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds.
