Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
For the below process determine whether it is nuclear fusion, nuclear fission or both fusion and fission.
- The reaction splits a nucleus into lighter nuclei.
Concept Introduction:
Both fusion and fission are the nuclear reactions which generate energy but it is to be noted that for both the applications are not equal. Fission is to split the unstable, heavy nucleus into two smaller nuclei. Fusion is the procedure where two of the nuclei combine with each other to release huge amount of energy.
(b)
Interpretation:
For the below process determine whether it is nuclear fusion, nuclear fission or both fusion and fission
- The reaction joins two lighter nuclei into a heavier nucleus.

(c)
Interpretation:
For the below process determine whether it is nuclear fusion, nuclear fission or both fusion and fission.
- The reaction is used to generate energy in a nuclear plant.

(d)
Interpretation:
For the below process determine whether it is nuclear fusion, nuclear fission or both fusion and fission.
- The reaction generates radioactive waste with a long half-life.

You are trying to determine the rate law expression for a reaction that you are completing at 25°C. You measure the initial reaction rate and the starting concentrations of the reactions for 4 trials. BrO³¯ (aq) + 5Br¯ (aq) + 6H* (aq) → 3Br₂ (l) + 3H2O (l) Initial rate Trial [BrO3] [H*] [Br] (mol/L) (mol/L) | (mol/L) (mol/L.s) 1 0.10 0.10 0.10 8.0 2 0.20 0.10 0.10 16 3 0.10 0.20 0.10 16 4 0.10 0.10 0.20 32 a. Based on the above data what is the rate law expression? b. Solve for the value of k (make sure to include proper units) 2. The proposed reaction mechanism is as follows: i. ii. BrО¸¯ (aq) + H+ (aq) → HBrO3 (aq) HBrO³ (aq) + H* (aq) → H₂BrO3* (aq) iii. H₂BrO³* (aq) + Br¯ (aq) → Br₂O₂ (aq) + H2O (l) [Fast] [Medium] [Slow] iv. Br₂O₂ (aq) + 4H*(aq) + 4Br(aq) → 3Br₂ (l) + H2O (l) [Fast] Evaluate the validity of this proposed reaction. Justify your answer.arrow_forward
