How must nuclear waste that is considered high-level waste to be stored

Chemistry

Korolek [52]1 year ago
3 0

Answer: the best option to answer the question is the second one (letter B).

Explanation:

The question requires us to choose, among the options given, which one best corresponds to the correct form of disposal fo high-level nuclear waste.

High-level nuclear waste corresponds mainly to highly radioactive materials produced as byproducts of reactions that occur inside nuclear reactors. When they are not of use anymore, they are disposed in underground repositories, without any recycling. The place of disposal of this type of nuclear waste is usually placed in cannister which are placed underground and sealed with rocks. Since the time of decay of high-level nuclear waste can reach hundreds of thousands of years, this type of waste must be disposed of in a way that provides adequate protection for a long time.

Considering the information above, we can say that the best option to answer the question is the second one (letter B).

Hydrogen gas is filled in a 224 ml glass container at 0 degree celcius and 1 atmospheric pressure. What are the number of molecu
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{6.02 $\math{\times 10^{21}}$ molecules}}

Explanation:

A pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 0 °C is the old definition of STP. Under these conditions, 1 mol of a gas occupies 22.4 L.

1. Calculate the moles of hydrogen.

n = \text{0.224 L} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{22.4 L}} = \text{0.0100 mol}

2. Calculate the number of molecules

\text{No. of molecules} = \text{0.0100 mol} \times \dfrac{\text{6.022 $\times 10^{23}$ molecules}}{\text{1 mol}}\\\\= \textbf{6.02 $\mathbf{\times 10^{21}}$ molecules}\\\\\text{The sample contains }\boxed{\textbf{6.02 $\mathbf{\times 10^{21}}$ molecules}}

A mixture of C3H8 and C2H2 has a mass of 2.8 g. It is burned in excess O2 to form a mixture of water and carbon dioxide that con
astraxan [27]

Answer:

The mass of C2H2 in the mixture is 0.56gram using the ratio of carbon in the products contributed by the C2H2.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is: C3H8 + 2C2H2 + 10O2 >> 7CO2 + 6H2O.

From the reaction, we know that the oxygen was in excess, this will make the Carbon sources the limiting agents in the reaction. The details of the reaction showed that the ratio of water to the carbon dioxide is 1.6:1. This also means that the expected mole of carbon dioxide will be 7/1.6, which is 3.75moles.

The individual balanced equation of reaction is:

C3H3 +5O2 >> 3CO2 + 4H2O

and 2C2H2 + 5O2 >>4CO2 + 2H2O. From this one can quickly tell that the propane is in sufficient supply as it produces 3 moles of CO2 out of the expected 3.75 moles obtained above. Leaving 0.75moles of CO2 to the ethyne.

The mass of ethyne in the mixture will therefore be: 0.75/3.75 X 2.8 = 0.56g.

How many milliliters of 0.125 M FeCl3 are needed to react with an excess of Na2S to produce 3.75 g of Fe2S3 if the percent yield
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

0.912 mL

Explanation:

3 Na2S(aq) + 2 FeCl3(aq) → Fe2S3(s) + 6 NaCl(aq)

FeCl3 is the limiting reactant.

Number of moles of iron III sulphide produced= 3.75g/87.92 g/mol = 0.043 moles

Hence actual yield of Iron III sulphide = 0.043 moles

Theoretical yield of Iron III sulphide = actual yield ×100%/ %yield

Theoretical yield of iron III sulphide= 0.043 ×100/75 = 0.057 moles of Iron III sulphide

From the reaction equation,

2moles of iron III chloride produced 1 mole of iron III sulphide

x moles of iron III chloride, will produce 0.057 of iron III sulphide

x= 2× 0.057= 0.114 moles of iron III chloride

But

Volume= number of moles/ concentration

Volume= 0.114/0.125

Volume= 0.912 mL
