What is the equation that calculates in nuclear reactions?
What is the equation that calculates in nuclear reaction?
Is the following nuclear reaction balanced?
A nuclear equation is balanced when the sum of atomic numbers and mass numbers on each side of the equation is the same.
What is a nuclear equation that shows the overall fusion cycle of the sun?
Nuclear fusion in sun is followed by proton proton chain reaction during this reaction hydrogen fused to form helium the main products of this reaction according to nuclear equation is - positron, neutrino, gamma ray photons, isotopes of hydrogen and helium
In a nuclear reaction WHAT does not have to be conserved?
While overall ENERGY has to be conserved, MASS does not. In a nuclear reaction mass can be converted into energy so the mass of the products may be less than the mass of the reactants. The difference in mass is converted into energy as Einstein's equation describes (E=MC squared). In a chemical reaction MASS has to be conserved.
What is the difference between rate of reaction and chemical equation?
The chemical equation is the word expression of a chemical reaction.The rate of reaction give information about the speed of this reaction.
How does nuclear reaction occur in the sun explain with a chemical equation?
can't be explained in chemical equation as it is nuclear. reaction is fusion of ionized hydrogen nuclei into ionized helium nuclei. every other hydrogen nucleus transforms from a proton to a neutron in the process.
What is the difference between a chemical reaction and a product in a chemical equation?
The reactants are the substances that undergo the chemical reaction, and are shown on the left side of a chemical equation. The products are produced by the chemical reaction, and are shown on the right side of the chemical equation.
Is the parent isotope always radioactive In a nuclear equation?
No, the parent in the nuclear equation is not always radioactive. For example, the following reaction shows a neutron capture by 23Na, which is not radioactive. 1123Na + 01n --> 1124Na where 01n is a neutron.
What is the difference in a nuclear power plant and a nuclear bomb?
A nuclear power plant uses a slow, controlled nuclear chain reaction to heat water and generate electricity. A nuclear bomb uses a very rapid uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction in order to generate a massive explosion.
What is the difference between nuclear reaction in a nuclear pl ant and in a nuclear bomb?
The answer can certainly be more complicated and detailed, but simply- the reaction in a nuclear power point is designed to be a "slow" controlled reaction that can be monitored and "shut down", with a nuclear power point having multiple safeguards. To the contrary, a nuclear weapon's reaction is designed to be the opposite- violent and uncontrollable so that once detonation has begun, the results are catastrophic.
What is the difference between nuclear decay and nuclear transformation reactions?
nuclear decay rates take more time and chemical reaction rates could happen fast.
Define Q-value of a nuclear reaction?
Q- value is a deterministic factor for the possibility of nuclear reaction. it is the difference of rest masses of the product and reactant of the reaction, and if it comes positive this means some energy added for the reaction to happen, and if it comes negative then the reaction will progress with the emission of energy.
