What is the amount of temperature elevated after a fusion bomb to the environment?

The core of a fusion bomb reaches a temperaure of approximately 100 million degrees Kelvin in a very small space. As you move outwards, the temperature drops into the millions of degrees, and into the hundred thousands of degrees. How quickly at at what distance they drop depends on the yield of the bomb, and where it is detonated.

What is nuclear fusion and what is the product?
Nuclear fusion is the merging of two atoms into a single atom. All atoms in nature that are heavier than hydrogen have been through fusion at some point. Energy from nuclear fusion powers the hydrogen bomb. It might also power fusion power plants at some time in the future. In these cases, the products of fusion are helium and neutrons. The neutrons are ionizing radiation, but they have a half life of less than 15 minutes, so they do not last long at all. Some of the neutrons will interact with atoms in the environment, and some of the result will be radioactive isotopes, but these are as unpredictable as the environment in which the fusion takes place, though statistically, these radioactive isotopes mostly also have short half lives.
What causes hydrogen fusion to release so much energy?
AnswerIf you mean in the sun, then the answer is: A nuclear cycle, now known as the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen (CNO) cycle, in which hydrogen nuclei could be burned using carbon as a catalyst.If you mean in hydrogen bombs, then the answer is:Energy released in the primary stage is transferred to the secondary (or fusion) stage. The exact mechanism whereby this happens is unknown. This energy compresses the fusion fuel and sparkplug; the compressed sparkplug becomes critical and undergoes a fission chain reaction, further heating the compressed fusion fuel to a high enough temperature to induce fusion, and also supplying neutrons that react with lithium to create tritium for fusion. Generally, increasing the kinetic energy of gas molecules contained in a limited volume will increase both temperature and pressure.AnswerHydrogen fusion releases so much energy because there is so much energy available. When two hydrogen nuclei fuse to form one helium nucleus, the total energy in the helium nucleus (E=MC2) is less than the total energy in two hydrogen nuclei. The difference is the amount of energy released in the fusion reaction.
What reactants were involved in the bombing of nagasaki?
Fusion Reactions - Nuclear fusion is a process where two or more nuclei combine to form an element with a higher atomic number (more protons in the nucleus). Fusion is the reverse process of nuclear fission. Fusion of light elements (the reactants) into heavier elements (the products) releases energy, (as it does fission of heavy elements into lighter elements). For fusion, the energy release occurs when the mass of the fusion products is smaller than the reactants. The difference between the total masses of all the protons and neutrons of a nucleus and the mass of the nucleus itself can be expressed in terms of the binding energy. The energy released is proportional to the difference in the masses as predicted by Einstein's famous equation, E=mc2. Fusion reactions power the Sun and other stars. - For a fusion reaction to occur it is necessary to bring the reactants so close together that nuclear forces become important and "glue" the reactants together. However, the range of interaction of the nuclear force is very small (10-15 meters), and the reactants (positively charged nuclei) repel each other because of the electrostatic force. For these reasons fusion most easily occurs in a high density, high temperature environment. - On Earth, nuclear fusion was reached first in the explosion of the Hydrogen bomb. In a non-destructive manner, fusion has also been reached in different experimental devices aimed at studying the possibility of producing energy in a controlled fashion (similar to what is presently done in nuclear power plants using fission). The D-T reaction is presently the best candidate for implementing a controlled fusion power station in the near future. - -Windowstotheuniverse-
When was Miami Fusion F.C. created?
Miami Fusion F.C. was created in 1997.
What type of nuclear energy do hydrogen bombs produce?
Fusion. However in standard fusion bombs about 90% of the yield comes from fission of Uranium-238 in the fusion tamper and radiation channel guide from fast 15MeV fusion neutrons.
The amount of heat necessary to change 1 kg of a solid into a liquid at the same temperature is called the?
molar heat of fusion
The amount of energy involved in melting a substance without changing its temperature is called the?
It is called the enthalpy of fusion of a substance, also known as (latent) heat of fusion.
The amount of energy needed to change a given mass of ice to water at constant temperature is called the heat of condensation crystallization fusion formation?
fusion
Does nuclear fusion occur at a low temperature?
No, normally it occurs at temperatures of millions of degrees. It does occur at room temperature, but not in significant amount; any possible practical use of "cold fusion" is, so far, speculation.
The heat of fusion is defined as the energy required at constant temperature to change 1 unit mass of a?
The heat of fusion is the amount of energy required to change 1 unit mass of a solid to a liquid at constant temperature.
What is specific latent of fusion?
It is the amount of energy required to change 1kg of solid into a liquid with no temperature change.
How can temperature either help fusion to occur or prevent fusion from occurring?
How can temperature either help fusion to occur or prevent fusion from occurring?
What is heat fusion and heat of vaporization measures of?
The heat of fusion is the amount of heat (not temperature) required to change a solid to a liquid. It is also known as the melting point. The heat of vaporization is the amount of heat (not temperature) required to change a liquid to it's gaseous state. It is also know as it's boiling point.
What is meant by the heat of fusion or substance?
That's the amount of heat you have to add to the solid form at the melting temperature in order to melt it to the liquid form at the same temperature. Looking at it the other way: It's the amount of heat you have to remove from the liquid at the freezing temperature in order to freeze it solid at the same temperature.
What is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kilograms of a substance by 1 kelvin is called?
Specific heat is the amount of heat needed to melt one kilogram of a substance...heat of fusion
