Nuclear fission causes a neutron to split the isotope U-235 when it collides with its nucleus. When a slow neutron interacts with a heavy nuclide like 235U, nuclear fission can occur (0.025 eV).
What happens when uranium-235 atoms are bombarded by slow moving neutrons?When a slow neutron interacts with a heavy nuclide like 235U, nuclear fission can occur (0.025 eV). If a fission (or splitting apart) occurs, the nuclear material splits into two (on average) about equal fragments that travel away with kinetic energy, producing heat.
Nuclear fission causes a neutron to split the isotope U-235 when it collides with its nucleus. Two or three additional neutrons as well as fission products are released during this fission process. The chain reaction is continued by some of the emitted neutrons. There is significant energy released in every fission reaction.
When a uranium atom divides, additional neutrons are also released. The process keeps repeating again as these neutrons keep crashing into more uranium atoms. This process is called a nuclear chain reaction. This reaction is controlled in nuclear power plant reactors to produce a desired amount of heat.

What are some uses for nuclear fusion?A suggested method of producing energy would use heat from nuclear fusion processes to produce electricity. A heavier atomic nucleus is created by the fusion of two lighter ones, which also produces energy. Fusion reactors are devices created to use this energy.
Nuclear fusion is less risky than nuclear fission because the fuel rods produced by nuclear fission include dangerous radioactive waste that may be used in weapons and must be maintained carefully for thousands of years.
Powering the Sun and other stars are nuclear fusion processes. Two light nuclei combine to produce one heavy nucleus during a fusion process. The resultant single nucleus's total mass is less than the mass, which causes the process to release energy.

Action and response are two forces that have the same magnitude but opposing directions.
Explanation.
The force used by a dog as it moves across the ground is known as the action force. The force that the earth exerts on the dog is the reaction force, on the other hand. Newton's third law of motion serves as its foundation.
What does walking on the ground include action and reaction force?When we walk on the ground, we push the earth backward with our feet, but the ground pushes our feet forward with an equal force, which propels us forward. Because of this, the action is the force that pushes the ground backward, and the reaction is the force by the ground on our feet.

In what direction will the reaction proceed ? Explanation please
In order to calculate this question, we will use the reaction quotient Q, which has a very similar formula as the equilibrium formula, but this Q can be calculated not just in equilibrium (where Q = K) but in any part of the reaction, so K is the equilibrium, and Q is what is used to see where the reaction will shift towards until it reaches equilibrium, we can have three possible outcomes:
Q = K, the reaction is already in equilibrium
Q > K, the reaction will proceed in the reverse direction
Q < K, the reaction will proceed in the forward direction
Let's set up the formula:
Q = [products]/[reactants], the brackets mean Concentration of each compound. Now adding our compounds
Q = [BrCl]^2/[Br2]*[Cl2], the BrCl is raised to 2 because we have 2 BrCl in the reaction, this is a rule for the equilibrium formula, we use the coefficient in front of the compound and raise its concentration to this number
Now we need the concentration of each compound, to find it we will use the Molarity formula
M = n/V
M = 0.15/2
M = 0.075M, notice that since we have the same number of moles and volume for every compound, we will have the same concentration for every compound, going back to our formula
Q = [0.075]^2/[0.075][0.075]
Q = 1.0
Since K = 7.0 and Q = 1.0
K > Q, the reaction will proceed in the forward direction in order to increase the concentration of 2 BrCl in order to finally reach Q=K

Answer:
[tex]38.5\text{ g/mol}[/tex]Explanation:
Here, we want to get the molar mass of the gas
Let us call it M
From the ideal gas equation, we can get the number of moles of the gas
Mathematically:
[tex]\begin{gathered} PV\text{ = nRT} \\ n\text{ = }\frac{PV}{RT} \end{gathered}[/tex]Also, n is the mass divided by the molar mass of the gas:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{m}{M}\text{ = }\frac{PV}{RT} \\ \\ M\text{ = }\frac{mRT}{PV} \end{gathered}[/tex]Where:
M is the molar mass that we want to calculate
m is the mass of the gas sample which is 1.45 g
P is the gas pressure which is 733 torr (to convert to atm, we multiply by 0.00131579 : 733 * 0.00131579 = 0.96 atm)
V is the volume which is 931 mL (We convert to L by dividing by 1000:
931/1000 = 0.931 L)
R is the molar gas constant which is 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K
T is the temperature that we convert to K by adding 273 K : 273 + 16 = 289 K)
Substituting the values, we have it that:
[tex]M\text{ = }\frac{1.45\text{ }\times0.0821\text{ }\times289}{0.96\times0.931}\text{ = 38.5 g/mol}[/tex]2A + C + D + EDetermine the enthalpy(AH)in kJ of the above reaction using the reactions below:1B → C AH = 415.3 kJA + 1B →D AH = -95.7 kJ6A ->6E AH = 207.9 kJ

3.786137931L of chlorine are needed.
1st) It is necessary to write the balanced equation of the reaction between chlorine gas (Cl2) and sodium (Na) to produce sodium chloride (NaCl):
[tex]2Na+Cl_2\text{ }\rightarrow\text{ 2 NaCl}[/tex]Now we know that 1 mol of chlorine gas is needed to react with 2 moles of sodium in the production of sodium chloride. With the molar mass of Na (23.0g/mol) and Cl2 (71.0g/mol), we can see that 71.0g of Cl2 are needed to react with 46.0g of sodium.
2nd) Knowing that 71.0g of Cl2 are needed to react with 46.0g of sodium, we can use a mathematical rule of three to calculate the amount of Cl2 that will react completely with 12.0g of sodium:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 46.0\text{gNa}-71.0gCl_2 \\ 12.0\text{gNa}-x=\frac{12.0\text{gNa}\cdot71.0Cl_2}{46.0\text{gNa}} \\ x=18.5gCl_2 \end{gathered}[/tex]3rd) Now it is necessary to convert the mass of chlorine gas into moles, so we can use it in the Ideal gas formula:

The concentration of methylamine chloride in the solution is 0.44 M.
given that :
concentration of methylamine , [ base ] = 0.15 M
pH = 10.20
pH + pOH = 14
pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 10.20 = 3.8
Kb = 4.6 × 10⁻⁴
concentration of methylamine chloride , [ acid ] = ?
The equation of POH is given by the following formula :
POH = pKb + log [ acid ] / [ base ]
pkb = -log kb
pkb = - log ( 4.6 × 10⁻⁴ )
pkb = 3.33
now, substituting the values, we get:
POH = pKb + log [ acid ] / [ base ]
3.8 = 3.33 + log [ acid ] / [ 0.15 ]
0.47 = log [ acid ] / [ 0.15 ]
10^0.47 = [ acid ] / [ 0.15 ]
2.95 = [ acid ] / [ 0.15 ]
[ acid ] = 0.44 M
Thus, A 0.15M solution of methylamine CH3NH2 contains an unknown concentration of methylamine chloride CH3NH3Cl. If the solution has a pH of 10.20,what is the concentration of methylamine chloride in the solution is 0.44 M.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 0.153\text{ moles Zn}\cdot\frac{1\text{ mol ZnCl}_2}{1\text{ mol Zn}}=0.153\text{ moles ZnCl}_2, \\ \\ 0.275\text{ moles HCl}\cdot\frac{1\text{ mol ZnCl}_2}{2\text{ moles HCl}}=0.138\text{ moles ZnCl}_2. \end{gathered}[/tex]You can realize that the limiting reactant, in this case, is HCl because is the first reactant consumed first and this reactant 'impose' the limit to produce the products.
So now, let's find how many moles of H2 are being produced by 0.275 moles of HCl if 2 moles of HCl reacted produces 1 mol of H2:
[tex]0.275\text{ moles HCl}\cdot\frac{1\text{ mol H}_2}{2\text{ moles HCl}}=0.138\text{ moles H}_2.[/tex]The final step is to convert each number of moles of each product to grams using their respective molar mass, as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 0.138\text{ moles ZnCl}_2\cdot\frac{136.2\text{ g ZnCl}_2}{1\text{ mol ZnCl}_2}=18.8\text{ g ZnCl}_2, \\ \\ 0.138\text{ moles H}_2\cdot\frac{2\text{ g H}_2}{1\text{ mol H}_2}=0.276\text{ g H}_2. \end{gathered}[/tex]We're producing 18.8 g of zinc chloride (ZnCl2), and 0.276 g of hydrogen (H2), so based on this logic the answer would be not enough information to tell.
