Why can’t U-235 and U-238 be separated by a
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The reason for no separation U-235 and U-238 by chemical reaction.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The isotopes are the different forms in which the atomic number of both form are same but the different atomic mass number.
The isotopes of uranium are U-235 and U-238. The chemical properties of the both isotopes are same because of same number of protons in their nuclei.
U-235 and U-238 cannot be separated by chemical reaction because the properties of U-235 and U-238 are same and these cannot be identified easily in chemical reaction.
Conclusion:
Thus, U-235 and U-238 cannot be separated by a chemical reaction due to same chemical properties of both of uranium isotopes.

Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion? What about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one- way trip from the the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets? (c) To reach Mars from the…arrow_forward
