Question

Which is one way to determine whether a reaction was a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction?

Check for a change in total mass during the reaction.

Check to see if any energy was released during the reaction.

Measure the temperature change during the reaction.

Measure the total volume of gas released during the reaction.

You can't really 'measure' in a quantitative way anything that is released in a nuclear reaction in an experimental way but in a theoretical way; Colliding particles releases an extremely high quantity of energy, therefore an extreme change in temperature, although you could also experience this kind of change(temperature) in a chemical reaction; you can't differentiate with mass because in both case, you lose mass; some chemical reactions do not release any gas at all.

Bottom line, nuclear reactions release much much more energy than a chemical reaction would, so I'd go with B)

I am sorry it was a wrong one that i chose earlier

But thank you so much for coming and helping

Answer 8

If not, go for temperature?
