Hello! I am taking a course in nuclear physics using the book An Intro to the Physics of Nuclei & Particles by Dunlap. I am a little confused by an explanation related to the critical radius for nuclear reactions. The author first defines a value ##vq## as the average number of neutrons...

Consider a reaction: H2+CuCl2= Cu+2HCl This is a substitution reaction.But is this may not be a reversible reaction since Cu is less active than .So Cu can't substitute H from HCl and make a backward reaction.Is my thinking right?

Well, I know this is not the "Chemistry" subforum but the question is all about quantum physics. When you study the Schrödinger equation you can compute the time evolution of the wave function, see what energy levels are possible etc. You can calculate the spectra of atoms describing them as a...

Directly without any introduction _ I really want some help from chemical engineers I was just looking for some chemical reactions that can make water unstable like when we put it in the water the water will move will not be stable or in an equilibrium state thank you very much

Is it possible to create a surface with immobilised enzymes (or any other technique) that will perform a multistep reaction?

Hello all, I am curious as to whether it is possible to create aluminium from a thermite reaction. Thermite, as standard, uses aluminium and iron oxide, which react together when burnt to create a blob of molten iron. I would like to achieve a similar result, but with a blob of molten...

Cl2(g) + 2I–(aq) -->I2(aq) + 2Cl–(aq) (reaction 1) [2S2O3^(2-)(aq) + I2(aq) --> S4O6(2-)(aq) + 2I–(aq) (reaction 2) Why isn't n(I2)(reaction 2)=2n(S2O3^(2-))(reaction 2). I don't see why this is wrong. <edit: remove size and italics>

Hi, In electro-chemical cells (galvanic, concentration, etc) or more generally when some RedOx reactions occur in solutes, is there always a phase change? I mean is there always a change in the state of matter from liquid to solid or gas?

Dr. John R. Hibbing of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA, has published several papers which basically say that there is a correlation between certain physiological reactions of a person and her political ideology (or at least her position in the American political spectrum, with Hibbing's...

Homework Statement What is the reaction occurring in H2O + SO3 -> H2SO4 2. The attempt at a solution Sorry, if this is dumb, I was confused about this question because I think its synthesis but I thought it only worked with elements? (Element A + Element B = Compound AB) But then with this, I...

I am not talking about the reactions of simple atoms in chemistry, I am speaking, for example deuterium, heavy water, isotopes of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, etc.I would like to know how to calculate when two atoms merge, to know mathematically what atom will form, example deuterium + deuterium =...

Please can someone help explain these to me? I have completed a-d but I'm not how e works. I thought gamma was an exchange particle so should it then decay further?

Homework Statement When trans-2-methylcyclohexanol is subjected to acid-catalyzed dehydration, the major product is 1-methylcyclohexene. However, when trans-1-bromo-2-methylcyclohexane is subjected to dehydrohalogenation, the major product is 3-methylcyclohexene. The attempt at a solution...

Homework Statement A proton of kinetic energy 0.42 x 10-11 J is fired at a stationary oxygen-18 which has a binding energy of 2.35 x 10-11 J. This reaction produces flourine-18 of binding energy 2.30 x 10-11 J with the production of a neutron and gamma ray. Q1) Explain why the high energy...

The Attempt at a Solution Firstly, since -Br is the better leaving group among the three, it's either (a) or (b). Further, since -Br is present at α position in (b), which also has an acidic α hydrogen to the same carbon, it would react better with a weak nucleophile (favouring SN1) than in (a)...

I was wondering if there is a good example of a chemical reaction cascade that reverses itself, or does a "loop" in nature outside of life? First thing that came to mind was water evaporating and coming back down from clouds, but that is not really a chemical reaction. Or would it be considered...

What is the best possible way to learn all the reactions in organic chemistry, where should one start, what are the fundamental topics to be covered and remembered all throughout for building up a great strong base in this part of chemistry?

I`ve spent some time reading about the baryon asymmetry and the Sakharov`s conditions, and there some things I didn't exactly get: 1. Interactions out of thermal equilibrium: isn't it trivial? our universe is expanding so, of course, it out of equilibrium. 2. CP violation: I`ve read that Cronin...

How easy (or not) is it for spontaneous chemical reactions to occur in a living cell, but particularly reactions that are not a result of and between coded molecules? For example, when we eat food, in the process while the essential molecules are being taken to be integrated into "coded...

I am currently using luminol to visualise cavitation via sonochemiluminescence. When bubbles in solution are exposed to ultrasound they cavitate and draw vapour inside them. The bubbles crush the vapour breaking bonds and radicals are produced. These radicals then do the following (from my own...

Isn't this a breakthrough? Well, a base for a breakthrough? I have always wondered if a complete theory or accurate prediction of the formation of bonds and molecules is possible... I tried to think about this myself... :) What do you think...

I have attempted this problem several times, but I keep on getting an incorrect answer. I have tried mostly substitution reactions (SN1 and SN2) on the top bromine atom, and I know that a double bond cannot be formed at the bridgehead. Any help in the right direction is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Do instantaneous Reactions happen at infinite speed?

I'm fairly new to nuclear engineering. Basically two questions regarding nuclear fission. 1) Neutrons hit atomic nuclei of fuel in reactor which in turn causes atoms to decay until a stable atomic isotope is ultimately reached. However, surely the "stable" isotopes (and also those unstable...

Hi, I am trying to simulate in 3D a bunch of chemical reactions. Some of them are complex and I would like to be able to just spawn the elements and molecules and watch them collide to see what happens. Is their any free software to do this?

I am looking for reactions that can power a small car. I'm currently working on a college project where we have to make a car powered by a chemical reaction. Could anyone guide me in the right direction?

Hello, I have two question if you please answer them. Thanks in advance. 1) In beta- decay, Electrons can have zero kinetic energy. Do they mean that they initially had kinetic energy to overcome the coulomb attraction which manifests itself in the "Free" electron mass? So it can literally...

Okay...I read that the decomposition of water is a reversible reaction (because the constituents can react to form water and water can decompose to form constituents)...This lead me to another thought that almost all compounds can be decomposed (although it is true that their conditions for...

All, I am looking for a logical step that I must be missing in order to understand how heat energy is produced in an exothermic reaction. All of the standard explanations--more heat is given off than is taken in--don't seem satisfying. If heat is the result of the kinetic energy of molecules...

Actually, I want to how the chemical reactions are written. Is it based on stoichiometry or atomic configuration or just by assumption, For eg. 2PbS + 3O2 → 2 PbO + 2SO2 PbS + 2O2 → PbSO4 look at these reactions they have same...

I am so stressed right now and am on the verge of a nervous breakdown. My chemistry homework is just really confusing and I need to pass this class, could someone please help me out? I need to hand this in tomorrow and I have already answered the questions myself but I feel like my answers are...

Hello! I have a feeling and I would like to know if it is true. I feel that if a reaction between two gases, takes place in high temperature only (perhaps with the presence of a catalyst), then if we increase the pressure high enough and keep the temperature low, the reaction may still take...
