Health hazards that are associated with uranium mining

Uranium is a radioactive substance that is used for generation of the thermal energy in the nuclear power plant. But uranium mining and processing is associated with numerous health effects related with the exposure to the radioactive decay products. The person may either inhale, ingest or the toxins can also seep inside the tissues through cut. The radioactive waste are responsible for causing drastic mutations and cancer.

<h3>What is Uranium mining ?</h3>

The process of removing uranium ore from the earth is known as uranium mining. In 2019, 53,656 tonnes of uranium were produced globally. The top three uranium producers are Kazakhstan, Canada, and Australia, who together produce 68% of the world's uranium.

  • The impacts of uranium mining are extensive, causing radioactive dust, radon gas, water-borne poisons, and higher background radiation levels in the environment. In order to produce nuclear energy and nuclear weapons, uranium must first be mined.

An initial mixture of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas is reacted in a rigid container at a certain temperature as follows: 3 H2(g)
Luden [163]

Answer:

[H₂] = 13 M

[N₂] = 12 M

Explanation:

Let´s consider the following reaction at equilibrium.

3 H₂(g) + N₂(g) ⇄ 2 NH₃(g)

To find out the initial concentrations we will use an ICE chart. We recognize 3 stages: Initial, Change and Equilibrium and complete each row with the concentration or change in concentration. We will use letters for the unknown data.

          3 H₂(g) + N₂(g) ⇄ 2 NH₃(g)

I              a           b                0

C          -3x         -x              +2x

E         a - 3x     b - x             2x

We know that,

[NH₃] = 2x = 5.1 M ⇒ x = 2.6 M

Then,

[H₂] = 5.6 M = a - 3x ⇒ a = 13 M

[N₂] = 9.3 M = b - x ⇒ b = 12 M

slamgirl [31]
You need to use the % information to determine the empirical formula of the compound first. 

The empirical formula is the simplest ratio of atoms in the molecule. 

Then use the rest of the data to determine moles of gas, and use this to determine molar mass of gas... 

Empirical formula calculations:

Assume you have 100 g, calculate the moles of each atom in the 100 g 

moles = mass / molar mass 
molar mass C = 12.01 g/mol 
molar mass H = 1.008 g/mol 
molar mass O = 16.00 g/mol 

C = 64.9 % = 64.6 g 
H = 13.5 % = 13.5 g 
O = 21.6 % = 21.6 g 

moles C = 64.6 g / 12.01 g/mol = 5.38 mol 
moles H = 13.5 g / 1.008 g/mol = 13.39 mol 
moles O = 21.6 g / 16.00 g/mol = 1.35 mol 

So ratio of C : H : O 
is 5.38 mol : 13.39 mol : 1.35 mol 

Divide each number in the ratio by the lowest number to get the simplest whole number ratio 

(5.38 / 1.35) : (13.39 / 1.35) : (1.35 / 1.35) 

4 : 10 : 1 

empirical formula is 
C4H10O 


Finding moles and molar mass calcs 

Now, you know that at 120 deg C and 750 mmHg that 1.00L compound weighs 2.30 g. 

We can use this information to determine the molar mass of the gas after first working out how many moles the are in the 1.00 L 

PV = nRT 
P = pressure = 750 mmHg 
V = volume = 1.00 L 
n = moles (unknown) 
T = temp in Kelvin (120 deg C = (273.15 + 120) Kelvin) 
- T = 393.15 Kelvin 
R = gas constant, which is 62.363 mmHg L K^-1 mol^-1 (when your P is in mmHg and volume is in L) 

n = PV / RT 
n = (750 mmHg x 1.00 L) / (62.363mmHg L K^-1 mol^-1 x 393.15 K) 
n = 0.03059 moles of gas 

We know moles = 0.03509 and mass = 2.30 g 
So we can work out molar mass of the gas 

moles = mass / molar mass 
Therefore molar mass = mass / moles 
molar mass = 2.30 g / 0.03059 mol 
= 75.19 g/mol 


Determine molecular formula 

So empirical formula is C4H10O 
molar mass = 75.19 g/mol 

To find the molecular formula you divide the molar mass by the formula weight of the empirical formula... 
This tells you how many times the empirical formula fits into the molecular formula. Tou then multiply every atom in the empirical formula by this number 

formula weight C4H10O = 74.12 g/mol 

Divide molar mass by formula weight empirical 
75.15 g/mol / 74.12 g/mol 
= 1 
(It doesn't matter that the number don't quite match, they rarely do in this type of calc (although I could have made a slight error somewhere) but the numbers are very close, so we can say 1.) 

The empirical formula only fits into the molar mass once, 

molecular formula thus = empirical formula 
<span>
C4H10O

Therefore, the </span>molecular formula of the compound is <span>C4H10O.

How do scientists use light-years?
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Scientists don't actually measure astronomical distances in light years. Rather, they measure them in a unit called the Parsec , and only convert to light years when they're talking to the general public . One light-year is the distance light travels through space in one year.
