Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Nature and purpose of control rod of a nuclear reactor has to be described.
Concept Introduction:
Nuclear reactor: It is device used for initiating and controlling a self-sustained nuclear chain reaction.
Nuclear chain reaction: A self-sustaining sequences nuclear fission reaction. The neutrons generated during the initial stage of fission are induced to takes place another fission reaction. In less than a second, the reaction becomes uncontrollable.
(b)
Interpretation:
Nature and purpose of moderator of a nuclear reactor has to be described.
Concept Introduction:
Nuclear reactor: It is device used for initiating and controlling a self-sustained nuclear chain reaction.
Nuclear chain reaction: A self-sustaining sequences nuclear fission reaction. The neutrons generated during the initial stage of fission are induced to takes place another fission reaction. In less than a second, the reaction becomes uncontrollable.
(c)
Interpretation:
Nature and purpose of reflector of a nuclear reactor has to be described.
Concept Introduction:
Nuclear reactor: It is device used for initiating and controlling a self-sustained nuclear chain reaction.
Nuclear chain reaction: A self-sustaining sequences nuclear fission reaction. The neutrons generated during the initial stage of fission are induced to takes place another fission reaction. In less than a second, the reaction becomes uncontrollable.

- A mixture of C7H12O2, C9H9OCl, biphenyl and acetone was put together in a gas chromatography tube. Please decide from the GC resutls which correspond to the peak for C7,C9 and biphenyl and explain the reasoning based on GC results. Eliminate unnecessary peaks from Gas Chromatography results.arrow_forwardIs the molecule chiral, meso, or achiral? CI .CH3 H₂C CIarrow_forwardPLEASE HELP ! URGENT!arrow_forward
