How many grams are in 1.7 x 1024 molecules of carbon tetrahydride (In order to solve this problem, you MAY need the correct chemical formula of the compound!) grams (the answer you should type is ONLY Qumber with proper sig figs, no units) Type your answer​

just did the assignment and the answer was #1 +2 n

it is the minimum amount of material needed to sustain a fission reaction.

critical mass is the minimum amount of fissionable material that must be assembled for a sustained fission reaction to take place. although two to three neutrons are produced for every fission, not all of these neutrons are available for continuing the fission reaction. if the conditions are such that the neutrons are lost at a faster rate than they are formed by fission, the chain reaction will not be self-sustaining.   at the point where the chain reaction can become self-sustaining, this is referred to as critical mass.
