In a nuclear power plant control rods are used to

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Control rods are used in nuclear reactors to control the fission rate of uranium and plutonium. They are composed of chemical elements such as boron, silver, indium and cadmium that are capable of absorbing many neutrons without themselves fissioning.

When she told us the party was canceled there was a deafening silence? A. Malapropisms B.imagery C. Hyperbole D.oxymoron

Answers

The answer is: D.oxymoron.

The oxymoron  is a combination of contradictory or incongruous words.

In this example, deafening silence.

Deafening is a noise so loud as to make it impossible to hear anything else.

Silence is oposite of deafening, complete absence of sound.

Other examples are: big baby, original copy, living dead, sweet sorrow, soft rock, pretty ugly.

Which of the following processes would you predict to have an increase in entropy?condensation of water



freezing water



melting ice



deposition of CO2 (changing from a gas to solid)

Answers

Among the choices given, the best answer is the third option. Melting ice shows an increase in entropy. Entropy is the degree of disorderliness in a system. Among the phases, solid has the most ordered structure which means it has the least entropy. The ice melting shows a phase change from solid to liquid. Liquid molecules are more disorganized than the solid thus there is an increase in entropy.

Answer: melting ice

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from  an ordered arrangement to a disordered arrangement, the entropy is said to decrease and vice versa.

1. condensation of water : Condensation process is a process where gaseous state changes to liquid state., thus decreasing randomness and decreasing entropy.

2. Freezing water : Freezing process is a process where liquid state changes to solid state, thus decreasing randomness and decreasing entropy.

3. melting ice: Fusion process is a process where solid state changes to liquid state, thus increasing randomness and increasing entropy.

4. deposition of CO_2: deposition process where gaseous state changes to solid state by escaping liquid state, thus decreasing randomness and decreasing entropy.

b. False

Answers

Answer:The given statement is true.

Explanation:

Isomers are defined as two or more compounds with same structural formula but different arrangement of atom and chemical properties.

For example: Butane, 2-methyl propane are isomers with structural formula C_4H_(10), acetone and propanal both isomers to each other with same structural formula of C_3H_6O.
