What type of nuclear reactions do all current reactors use

Chemistry
1 answer:
emmasim [6.3K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Nuclear fission

Explanation:

All nuclear reactors in operation are based on the principle of nuclear fission of Uranium nuclide to produce energy. These is produced is being controlled and is used in heating water to steam. The steam is then harnessed to drive or power steam turbines which is used for the generation of electricity.

The reaction H2(g)+F2(g)?2HF(g) is spontaneous at all temperatures. A classmate calculates the entropy change for this reaction
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is there is a mistake in the calculation. The second law of thermodynamics state that in any spontaneous process there is an increase in the entropy of the universe.

Explanation:

According to the second law a reaction will occur in a system spontaneously if the total entropy of both system and surrounding increases during the reaction.That means in case of spontaneous reaction entropy change is always positive.

     But according to the question the reaction H2+F2=2HF is spontaneous in all temperature.So according to the second law of thermodynamics i can say that my classmate made a mistake in calculation that"s why his result for entropy change comes negative.

Explain the ways that carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere. How is it removed? Does most carbon enter the atmosphere as car
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere by human activities. When hydrocarbon fuels (i.e. wood, coal, natural gas, gasoline, and oil) are burned, carbon dioxide is released. During combustion or burning, carbon from fossil fuels combine with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide and water vapor.Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned. When humans burn fossil fuels to power factories, power plants, cars and trucks, most of the carbon quickly enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas. Each year, five and a half billion tons of carbon is released by burning fossil fuels.Carbon dioxide causes about 20 percent of Earth's greenhouse effect; water vapor accounts for about 50 percent; and clouds account for 25 percent.Likewise, when carbon dioxide concentrations rise, air temperatures go up, and more water vapor evaporates into the atmosphere—which then amplifies greenhouse heating

A reaction has a rate constant of 1.15 x 10^−2 /s at 400K and 0.685 /s at 450K.
n200080 [17]

Answer:

a) the activation barrier = 122.3 kJ/mol

b) The rate constant at 425 K = 0.1001 /s

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Rate constant k1 = 1.15 * 10^−2 /s  at 400K (= T1)

Rate constant k2 = 0.685 /s at 450K (=T2)

Step 2: Determine the activation barrier for the reaction.

To determine the activation energy we will use the two-point Arrhenius equation:

ln(k₂/k₁) =  (Ea/R)((1/T1) - (1/T2))

⇒ with Ea = the activating energy

 ⇒ with R = the gas constant = 8.314 J/mol* K

⇒ with k1  = rate constant 1 = 1.15 *10^-2 /s

⇒ with T1 = Temperature 1 = 400 K

⇒ with k2 = rate constant 2 = 0.685/s

⇒ with T2 = temperature 2 = 450 K

= - (Ea/R)(T₁ - T₂)/T₁T₂

Ea = (R*ln (k2/k1)) / ((1/T1)- (1/T2))

Ea = (8.314* ln(0.685/0.0115)) / ((1/400) - (1/450))

Ea = 122327.6 = 122.3 kJ/mol

B) What is the value of the rate constant at 425 K

For rate constant at 425 K.

Substitute the value of activation energy as 122327.6 J/mol, initial temperature as 400 K, final temperature as 425 K, rate constant at 400 K

1/T1   - 1/ T3   = 1/400   - 1 /425    = 1.47*10^-4

⇒ with T1 = the initial temperature = 400 K

⇒ with k1 = the rate constant at 400 K = 1.15 * 10^-2 /s

⇒ with T3 = the nex temperature = 425 K

⇒ with k3 = the rate constant at 425 K

ln(k3/k1) = Ea/R * ((1/T1)- (1/ T3))

⇒ with k3 = the rate constant at 425 K

⇒ with T3 = 425 K

k3/k1 = e^(Ea/R * ((1/T1)- (1/ T3)))

k3 = k1* e^(Ea/R * ((1/T1)- (1/ T3)))

k3 = 0.0115 * e^(122327.6/8.314 * (1.4710^-4))

k3 = 0.0115* e^2.1643

k3 = 0.1001 /s
