1. A heavy nucleus (U235 or Pu239), when bombarded by slow moving neutrons, split into two
or more nuclei.
2. Two or more neutrons are produced by fission of each nucleus.
3. Huge amount of energy is produced as a result of nuclear fission.
4. All the fission fragments are radioactive, giving off β and radiations.
<span>5. The atomic weights of fission products range from about </span>70 to 160.
6. The nuclear chain reactions can be controlled and maintained steadily by absorbing a
desired number of neutrons. This process is used in nuclear reactor.
<span>7. All the fission reactions are self-propagating chain-reactions because fission products contain </span>
neutrons (secondary neutrons) which further cause fission in other nuclei.
8. Every secondary neutron, released in the fission process, does not strike a nucleus, some
escape into air and hence a chain reaction cannot be maintained.
<span>9. The number of neutrons, resulting from a single fission, is known as the multiplication factor. </span>
When the multiplication factor is less than 1, a chain reaction does not take place.
<span>10. The control of chain reaction is necessary in order to maintain a steady reaction. This is </span>
carried out by absorbing a desired number of neutron by employing materials like
percentage of Cd, B or steel.
11. In a nuclear reactor, the multifactor is one. This is achieved by proper arrangement of
<span>fissionable materials.</span>
Explanation:
temperature changes affect seawater density as water cools its density increases. As water cools H2O molecules pack more closely together because the molecules are vibrating less at low temperatures and take up less volume. The same number of water molecules in smaller volume results higher density
The grams of carbon dioxide that are in 35.6 liters of Co2 is calculates as below
calculate the number of moles of CO2
At STP 1 mole = 22.4 L
what about 35.6 liters
= 1mole x 35.6 liters/ 22.4 liters = 1.589 moles
mass of CO2 = moles x molar mass of CO2
= 1.589 mol x 44 g/mol = 69.92 grams
Answer:
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of aluminium oxide = 3.87g
Mass of water = 5.67g
Unknown:
Limiting reactant = ?
Solution:
The limiting reactant is the reactant in short supply in a chemical reaction. We need to first write the chemical equation and convert the masses given to the number of moles.
Using the number of moles, we can ascertain the limiting reactants;
Al₂O₃ + 3H₂O → 2Al(OH)₃
Number of moles;
Number of moles =
molar mass of Al₂O₃ = (2x27) + 3(16) = 102g/mole
number of moles = = 0.04mole
molar mass of H₂O = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mole
number of moles = = 0.32mole
From the reaction equation;
1 mole of Al₂O₃ reacted with 3 moles of H₂O
0.04 mole of Al₂O₃ will react with 3 x 0.04 mole = 0.12 mole of H₂O
But we were given 0.32 mole of H₂O and this is in excess of amount required.
This shows that Al₂O₃ is the limiting reactant
Multiply 10.49 by 12.993. that should be it. 130 grams ish?
