What produces the large amount of energy released by the nuclear reaction?
A change from one form of matter to another, with the release of large amounts of energy.
Can you convert energy in to mass or mass into energy?
No. Nor can you convert mass into energy. In any reaction - including nuclear reactions - both the amount of mass and the amount of energy remain the same, before and after the reaction. For example, the energy that escapes from a nuclear reaction also has a corresponding mass. On the other hand, the energy existed before the reaction as well, in the form of (nuclear) potential energy.
How is a nuclear fission reaction controlled in a nuclear reactor?
Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.
Who established the amount of energy released in nuclear reactions?
This took a lot of effort by various research establishments, notably Oak Ridge and Los Alamos during WW2, and after that by others including Harwell in the UK.
The energy produced by a nuclear reaction comes from what?
The energy in a nuclear reaction comes from the release of some of the residual binding energy that holds the nucleus together. When you split heavy isotopes, such as uranium-235, or when you fuse light isotopes, such as hydrogen-2, the total binding energy required is reduced by a small amount. This difference is released as heat and radiation.
When a nuclear fission reaction occurs an enormous amount of energy is released This energy comes from?
The release of excess binding energy.
What produces the large amount of energy released by the nuclear reaction?
A change from one form of matter to another, with the release of large amounts of energy.
How is a nuclear fission reaction controlled in a nuclear reaction?
Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.
The energy in the sun is created by?
Nuclear fusion. Hydrogen atoms combine to become helium, and as a product if that reaction a tiny amount of energy is released as an explosion.
How does the sun goes on shining?
Due nuclear reaction on sun which are uncontrolled chain reaction with huge amount of energy
What quantities do not change during a nuclear reaction?
If you consider the equation, E=mc2, you can see that an amount of mass can be considered as equal to an amount of energy. In other words, we could take all the mass in a nuclear reaction and figure out how much energy that represents. If you add that to the amount of energy present at the same time, you get a summation of energy (some of which is mass represented as energy). That amount of energy does not change in a nuclear reaction.
Can you convert energy in to mass or mass into energy?
No. Nor can you convert mass into energy. In any reaction - including nuclear reactions - both the amount of mass and the amount of energy remain the same, before and after the reaction. For example, the energy that escapes from a nuclear reaction also has a corresponding mass. On the other hand, the energy existed before the reaction as well, in the form of (nuclear) potential energy.
What does the enthalpy reaction measures?
The amount of energy that is used or released as heat in a reaction.
What does the enthalpy of reaction measure?
The amount of energy that is used or released as heat in a reaction.
