<h2>Answer:  # of neutrons = 9</h2>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

# of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

                      = 17 - 8

                      = 9

<h3>∴ number of neutrons in an atom of oxygen of mass number 17, is 9.</h3>

Chemistry Lab Question: Filtration
tatyana61 [14]

For the first question, salt is soluble while sand is insoluble or not dissolvable in water. The salt should have vanished or melted, but the sand stayed noticeable or visible, making a dark brown solution probably with some sand particles caught on the walls of the container when the boiling water was put in to the mixture of salt and sand. The solubility of a chemical can be disturbed by temperature, and in the case of salt in water, the hot temperature of the boiling water enhanced the salt's capability to melt in it.

For the second question, the melted or dissolved salt should have easily made its way through the filter paper and into the second container, while the undissolved and muddy sand particles is caught on the filter paper. The size of the pores of the filter paper didn’t change. On the contrary, the size of the salt became smaller because it has been dissolved which is also the reason why it was able to go through the filter paper, while the size of the sand may have doubled or even tripled which made it harder to pass through.

Why is not used at nuclear plant as a soverce for electrical energy
nikitadnepr [17]
The biggest reason is radioactive wastes. Nuclear power generated radioactive wastes like Uranimum, plutonium and amercium that inhibits gene expression and causes cancer to the environment. Nuclear plants use to release these wastes into the oceans, and it causes fishes to exhibit gender change, 3 eyes, 2 tails etc. The impact on human shows signs of serious blood, liver and lung cancers. 

There are currently no way to get rid of these wastes as they take hundred thousands of years to decompose. 

Another reason is they cause a small amount of green gas emission. Releases CO2 to the sky. They exhibit radioactive gas emission as well (causes cancer) .
