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.

What are the two processes of ocean to cloud?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer: The excess amount changes from a gas into a liquid or solid (ice). The process of water changing from a gas to a liquid is called "condensation," and when gas changes directly into a solid, it is called "deposition." These two processes are how clouds form.

The reaction is first order in cyclopropane and has a measured rate constant of k=3.36×10−5 s−1 at 720 k. if the initial cyclopr
sergey [27]

Answer:

0.0277 M.

Explanation:

The integral rate law of a first order reaction:

<em>Kt = ln ([A₀]/[A]),</em>

where, k is the rate constant of the reaction <em>(k = 3.36 × 10⁻⁵ s⁻¹)</em>,

t is the time of the reaction <em>(t = 235.0 min = 14100 s)</em>,

[A₀] is the initial concentration of cyclopropane <em>([A₀] = 0.0445 M)</em>

<em>∵ Kt = ln ([A₀]/[A]),</em>

∴ (3.36 × 10⁻⁵ s⁻¹)(14100 s) = ln (0.0445 M)/[A]

Taking the exponential of both sides:

1.6 = (0.0445 M)/[A]

<em>∴ [A] = (0.0445 M)/1.6 = 0.0277 M.</em>

How do we balance Zn + HNO3 Zn(NO3)2 + NO + H20​
USPshnik [31]

3Zn + 8HNO₃⇒ 3Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2NO + 4H₂O

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Equalization of chemical reaction equations can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:  

  • 1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c etc.  
  • 2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index between reactant and product  
  • 3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1  

For gas combustion reaction which is a reaction of hydrocarbons with oxygen produces CO₂ and H₂O (water vapor). can use steps:  

Balancing C atoms, H and the last O atoms

Reaction

Zn + HNO₃⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + NO + H₂O

  • 1. gives a coefficient

aZn + bHNO₃⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + cNO + dH₂O

  • 2. make an equation

Zn : left = a, right =1 ⇒a=1

H : left = b, right = 2d⇒ b=2d (eq 1)

N : left = b, right = 2+c⇒b=2+c (eq 2)

O : left = 3b, right = 6+c+d ⇒3b=6+c+d(eq 3)

  • From eq 1 and eq 3

3(2d)=6+c+d

6d=6+c+d

5d=6+c (eq 4)

  • From eq 2 and eq 3

3(2+c)=6+c+d

6+3c=6+c+d

2c=d (eq 5)

  • From eq 4 and eq 5

5(2c)=6+c

10c=6+c

9c=6

c = 2/3

  • input eq 5

d = 2 x 2/3

d = 4/3

  • input eq 1

b = 2 x 4/3

b = 8/3

The equation

aZn + bHNO₃⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + cNO + dH₂O to

Zn + 8/3HNO₃⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2/3NO + 4/3H₂O x 3

3Zn + 8HNO₃⇒ 3Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2NO + 4H₂O
