B.

The energy in nuclear fusion can't be generated in a controlled manner hence difficult to use in a nuclear power plant as a away to produce clean energy.

Explanation:

The reactions in thermonuclear bombs use very highly enriched radioactive elements that release a lot of energy at a go hence the enormous explosions they cause. A nuclear power plant would require this enormous energy to be released slowly  to generate electricity. It requires great technology to control the release of this nuclear energy because it requires the control of the rate of chain reactions occurring at a particular time.  If the chain reactions are too many at a time, the power plant could explode.

Based on the bond energies for the reaction below, what is the enthalpy of the reaction?HC≡CH (g) + 5/2 O₂ (g) → 2 CO₂ (g) + H₂O
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

1219.5 kj/mol

Explanation:

To reach this result, you must use the formula:

ΔHºrxn = Σn * (BE reactant) - Σn * (BE product)

ΔHºrxn = [1 * (BE C = C) + 2 * (BE C-H) + 5/2 * (BE O = O)] - [4 * (BE C = O) + 2 * (BE O-H).

The BE values are:

BE C = C: 839 kj / mol

BE C-H: 413 Kj / mol

BE O = O: 495 kj / mol

BE C = O = 799 Kj / mol

BE O-H = 463 kj / mol

Now you must replace the values in the above equation, the result of which will be:

ΔHºrxn = [1 * 839 + 2 * (413) + 5/2 * (495)] - [4 * (799) + 2 * (463) = 1219.5 kj/mol

Los automóviles actuales tienen “parachoques de 5 mi/h (8 km/h)” diseñados para comprimirse y rebotar elásticamente sin ningún d
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

k = 23045 N/m

Explanation:

To find the spring constant, you take into account the maximum elastic potential energy that the spring can support. The kinetic energy of the car must be, at least, equal to elastic potential energy of the spring when it is compressed to its limit. Then, you have:

K=U\\\\\frac{1}{2}Mv^2=\frac{1}{2}kx^2    (1)

M: mass of the car = 1050 kg

k: spring constant = ?

v: velocity of the car = 8 km/h

x: maximum compression of the spring = 1.5 cm = 0.015m

You solve the equation (1) for k. But first you convert the velocity v to m/s:

v=8\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1000m}{1km}*\frac{1h}{3600s}=2.222\frac{m}{s}

k=\frac{Mv^2}{x^2}=\frac{(1050kg)(2.222m/s)^2}{(0.015m)^2}=23045\frac{N}{m}

The spring constant is 23045 N/m

BH+ClO4- is a salt formed from the base B (Kb = 1.00e-4) and perchloric acid. It dissociates into BH+, a weak acid, and ClO4-, w
Len [333]

Answer:

The pH of 0.1 M BH⁺ClO₄⁻ solution is <u>5.44</u>

Explanation:

Given: The base dissociation constant: K_{b} = 1 × 10⁻⁴, Concentration of salt: BH⁺ClO₄⁻ = 0.1 M

Also, water dissociation constant: K_{w} = 1 × 10⁻¹⁴

<em><u>The acid dissociation constant </u></em>(K_{a})<em><u> for the weak acid (BH⁺) can be calculated by the equation:</u></em>

K_{a}. K_{b} = K_{w}    

\Rightarrow K_{a} = \frac{K_{w}}{K_{b}}

\Rightarrow K_{a} = \frac{1\times 10^{-14}}{1\times 10^{-4}} = 1\times 10^{-10}

<em><u>Now, the acid dissociation reaction for the weak acid (BH⁺) and the initial concentration and concentration at equilibrium is given as:</u></em>

Reaction involved: BH⁺  +  H₂O  ⇌  B  +  H₃O+

Initial:                     0.1 M                    x         x            

Change:                   -x                      +x       +x

Equilibrium:           0.1 - x                    x         x

<u>The acid dissociation constant: </u>K_{a} = \frac{\left [B \right ] \left [H_{3}O^{+}\right ]}{\left [BH^{+} \right ]} = \frac{(x)(x)}{(0.1 - x)} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.1 - x}

\Rightarrow K_{a} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.1 - x}

\Rightarrow 1\times 10^{-10} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.1 - x}

As, x

\Rightarrow 0.1 - x = 0.1

\therefore 1\times 10^{-10} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.1 }

\Rightarrow x^{2} = (1\times 10^{-10})\times 0.1 = 1\times 10^{-11}

\Rightarrow x = \sqrt{1\times 10^{-11}} = 3.16 \times 10^{-6}

<u>Therefore, the concentration of hydrogen ion: x = 3.6 × 10⁻⁶ M</u>

Now, pH = - ㏒ [H⁺] = - ㏒ (3.6 × 10⁻⁶ M) = 5.44

<u>Therefore, the pH of 0.1 M BH⁺ClO₄⁻ solution is 5.44</u>
