In a nuclear bomb temperatures of 10 million centigrade or more are produced.

In a nuclear reactor temperatures of 100 centigrade to about 1000 centigrade are produced depending on type and design of reactor.

How much heat does a reaction produce?

The amount of heat produced in a reaction is not fixed. It depends upon the total amount of energy change that has taken place in the reaction altogether. Not only this, all reactions do not produce heat. In some cases we have to supply energy from external sources to get the reaction started.


How much heat is generated in a nuclear fusion?

In nuclear fusion, a small amount of heat is generated due to the high temperatures required to fuse atomic nuclei together. This heat can be harnessed to produce electricity through various methods, such as heating water to create steam to drive a turbine. However, the amount of energy produced by fusion reactions is significantly greater than the heat generated.


How nuclear technologies produce enermouse amount of energy?

Nuclear technologies produce enormous amounts of energy through a process called nuclear fission, where the nucleus of an atom is split to release large amounts of heat. This heat is then used to generate steam, which drives turbines connected to generators that produce electricity. The energy released in nuclear reactions is much greater than in chemical reactions, leading to the large amounts of energy produced by nuclear power plants.


When the reactants get colder in an endothermic reaction what has happened to the heat energy?

Endothermic reaction means reactions which absorbs heat energy to carry out reaction. So if the reactants are at colder condition, process/operation require much more heat energy,ie, heat energy consumption will be more.


In Fahrenheit and Celsius How much heat is produced by a 5Mt nuclear bomb?

Fahrenheit and Celsius are not used to describe quantities of heat. They're used to describe how deep an object is filled with heat. If the object is one that can't hold much heat ... like a stone or 1/2 ounce of water ... then even a little bit of heat can fill it deep in Fahrenheit or Celsius. If it's an object that can hold a lot of heat ... like a swimming pool ... then even if you pour heat into it for an hour, the heat in it won't get very deep in Fahrenheit or Celsius. The amount of heat you pour into the object is described in units of energy, like joules, watt-seconds, or foot-pounds, because, after all, heat is energy. The amount of energy produced by a 5 Mt nuclear bomb is a big number. So it's described as "the amount of energy released by exploding 5 million tons of TNT". That's what "5Mt" means.

How does the sun make its heat?

The heat and pressure in the sun's core is so intense nuclear fusion occurs spontaneously there. This reaction liberates energy, much of it ultimately in the form of heat.


What is the measurement used to describe how much energy is produced or used during a chemical change?

The free energy (delta G) is the measure of the amount of energy produced or consumed in a reaction. Enthalpy (delta H) is a measure of the amount of heat produced or consumed in a reaction. These two quantities can sometimes be the same. When they are not, the other missing component where heat can be consumed or produced is work.


How much more powerful between chemical and nuclear reactions?

A nuclear reaction is much powerful than a chemical reaction.


Does temperature change during a nuclear reaction?

Yes. Very much. That is how we get useful heat to make steam, to turn turbines, to make electricity.


Why does the sun give off so much heat?

The heat is produced in the interior, due to nuclear fusion. Sooner or later, that heat has to get out.It is kinda like the birds and the bees the have fussoin together to make heat :D


How does nuclear energy impact the environment?

Not much pollution unless there is a nuclear reaction.


How much power is produced during nuclear fusion?

To get an exact answer, you would have to specify a fusion reaction; different reactions will produce different amounts of energy. However, to get a rough idea, the energy produced is in the order of a million times more than the typical chemical reaction.


Why are thermo nuclear bombs more disasterus than nuclear bombs?

Thermonuclear bombs, or hydrogen bombs, are more destructive than nuclear bombs because they involve a two-stage process: a fission reaction triggers a fusion reaction, resulting in a much larger explosion. This fusion reaction releases much more energy and is more efficient at converting material into energy compared to the fission reaction alone. As a result, thermonuclear bombs are typically much more powerful and devastating than traditional nuclear bombs.


How much nuclear waste is produced a year?

Very little, the main pollution generated by a properly functioning nuclear power plant is thermal pollution (i.e. heat that would not normally be present otherwise).


How much heat would a nuclear bomb produce?

The amount of heat produced by a nuclear bomb varies depending on the size of the bomb. A typical nuclear bomb can release millions to billions of degrees of heat within milliseconds, resulting in temperatures hotter than the surface of the sun at the point of detonation.
