What is a beneficial aspect of nuclear fission?
a. the ability to absorb energy
b. the ability to produce more energy than nuclear fusion
c. the ability to release tremendous amounts of energy
d. there are no beneficial aspects of nuclear fission

C. The ability to release tremendous amounts of energy

Explanation:

The decay of massive and unstable nuclei which leads to the formation of newer atoms or nuclei accompanied by the release of energy is known as nuclear fission. In a splitting reaction such as fission, energy is released from the conversion of mass.

The energy released in a fission reaction can be used to generate electricity through a series of process. Most advanced countries in the world generates their electricity through this process.

c

explanation:

a. the law of proportion states the combination of 2 atoms in a specific ratio to produce multiple compounds such as the given statement of question ‘1st compound contains 88.8 % cu ’ indicates 88.8 g of cu is present along with 11.2 g oxygen in 100 g of compound whereas the statement ‘2st compound contains 79.9 % cu ’ indicates 79.9 g of cu is present along with 20.1 g oxygen in 100 g of compound

1st compound contains 88.8 g cu

for cu

m = 63 g /mol

atomic % = 88.8 /63 = 1.42

for o

m = 16 g /mol

atomic % = 11.2 /16 = 0.7

b. the emperical formula of 1st compound is

cu1.4o0.7
