The safety feature aimed at keeping nuclear radiation contained is steel-reinforced concrete.

<h3>What is nuclear power plant?</h3>

A nuclear power plant is a building with reactors that contain controlled nuclear reactions to produce energy.

Nuclear power plants are able to generate warm water by using atomic properties of matter (i.e.,m the process of nuclear fission), which is in turn converted into steam to move turbines.

The walls of nuclear power reactors are composed of steel-reinforced concrete in order to avoid radiation release.

In conclusion, the safety standard property that maintains nuclear radiation contained is steel-reinforced concrete.

How does molarity and molality affect the concentration of a solution<br>explain.

kolbaska11 [484]

Concentration of a solution can be expressed in terms of molarity and molality

Molarity is the number of moles of solute in a liter of a solution.

Molarity (M) = Moles of solute/Volume(litres) of solution

Molality is the number of moles of solute in one kg of the solution

Molality (m) = Moles of solute/Mass (kg) of solution

Therefore if the volume or the mass of the solution is changed this would affect the concentration.

In addition, volume is a quantity which depends on temperature. However, mass is independent of temperature. Therefore any changes in temperature, can also bring about a change in the molarity of the solution.

__ SnCl4 → __ Sn + __ Cl2

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Sn (s) + 2 Cl2 (g) → SnCl4 (l)

This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:

4 Cl0 + 4 e- → 4 Cl-I

(reduction)

Sn0 - 4 e- → SnIV

(oxidation)

Cl2 is an oxidizing agent, Sn is a reducing agent.

As part of a science experiment, Jose did a test for starch on a slice of apple and a slice of potato. The yellow-orange iodine

juin [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Iodine solution is used to test for starch. A positive test for starch gives a blue-black color.

The fact that the color of the apple remained the same is indicative of the fact that starch was not contained in the apple.

A change in the color of potato indicates the presence of starch in the potato.

The fact that iodine did not react with apple should not be taken to mean that apples contain no starch at all. Starch changes gradually to sugar as fruits ripen. This is why the apple gave a negative test for starch.

Triglycerides, fatty acids and glycerol differ with respect to polarity, H-bonds, and functional groups. Discuss the differences

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Triglycerides are actually fats made from condensation of fatty acids and glycerol, and used in making soap because it readily reacts caustic alkali and precipitates soap molcules while glycerol is the produced alongside

Explanation:

Triglycerides are made when 3 molecules of fatty acids condenses with one molecule of glycerol having 3-sites of OH where the condensation takes place with the COOH functional group in the fatty acids and 3 molecules of water
