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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Korolek [52]2 years 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).

.400 moles of CO2 gas are confined in a 5.00-liter container at 25 °C. Calculate the pressure exerted in atmospheres and mm Hg.
solong [7]

The pressure exerted by 0.400 moles of carbon dioxide in a 5.00 Liter container at 25 °C would be 1.9563 atm or  1486.788 mm Hg.

<h3>The ideal gas law</h3>

According to the ideal gas law, the product of the pressure and volume of a gas is a constant.

This can be mathematically expressed as:

pv = nRT

Where:

p = pressure of the gas

v = volume

n = number of moles

R = Rydberg constant (0.08206 L•atm•mol-1K)

T = temperature.

In this case:

p is what we are looking for.

v = 5.00 L

n = 0.400 moles

T = 25 + 273

 = 298 K

Now, let's make p the subject of the formula of the equation.

p = nRT/v

  = 0.400 x 0.08206 x 298/5

  = 1.9563 atm

Recall that: 1 atm = 760 mm Hg

Thus:

1.9563 atm = 1.9563 x 760 mm Hg

                   = 1486.788 mm Hg

In other words, the pressure exerted by the gas in atm is 1.9563 atm and in mm HG is 1486.788 mm Hg.

MEASUREMENT AND MATTER Interconverting temperatures in Celsius and Kelvins The metal osmium becomes superconducting at temperatu
nexus9112 [7]

Answer: -272^0C.

Explanation:

Temperature of the gas is defined as the degree of hotness or coldness of a body. It is expressed in units like ^0C and K  

These units of temperature are inter convertible.

We are given:

Temperature of the gas = 655mK=0.655K    (1mK=0.001 K)

Converting this unit of temperature into ^0C by using conversion factor:

(t-273.15)^0C=tK

273.15K=0^0C

Thus 0.655K=(0.655-273.15)^0C=-272^0C

Thus the temperature is -272^0C.
