Which of the following is an example of nuclear fission? Answer 1n + 235U → 139Ba + 94Kr + 31n 90Sr → 90Y + e- 226Ra → 222Rn + 4He 2H + 3H → 4He + 1n

OpenStudy (jfraser):

which reaction starts with a single large reactant splitting into multiple smaller products?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be the first one?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Can u eliminate any option acording to what @JFraser said ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the last option

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Good ! That's Fusion reaction

OpenStudy (abhisar):

What about second reaction ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i know that one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

second also can be elimanted, stuck with 1 and 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is the first option isnt it

OpenStudy (abhisar):

yes i think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

An atom of element X has an atomic mass of about 40; after reacting with a second atom of X, a different element (called Y) with an atomic mass of 80 is produced. What type of reaction is this? Answer fusion fission combustion synthesis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know it isnt fission or combustion right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would this be synthesis

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Why not fusion ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

two things combine to create a bigger mass, isnt that synthesis?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

A synthesis reaction or direct combination reaction is one of the most common types of `chemical reactions`. In a synthesis reaction two or more chemical species combine to form a more complex product.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

In synthesis reaction the final product is a compound

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Here, a new element is formed which can only done by nuclear reaction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if a compound is formed its synthesis and if its a new element its fusion ?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks so much man

OpenStudy (abhisar):

See option D of first question

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Two smaller elements combined to form a bigger element. That's fusion reaction.

ha thats cool, thanks again. your helping my grade

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Glad to know that :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which of the following are true for E = mc2? Answer developed by Albert Einstein implies that a small change in mass produces a great deal of energy mainly used for chemical reactions implies that a small change is mass produces a small amount of energy @Abhisar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

two answers

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Second one is the answer. C stands for the speed of light. So for loss of say 1Kg we get an energy equivalent to \(\sf (3\times 10^8)^2=9\times 10^{16}Joules\)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

@gstprc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so A and C?
