Nuclear power plants produce energy in terms of electricity from radioactive materials. These elements are highly unstable due to their high neutron-to-proton ratio. That's why they spontaneously decay by giving off sub-atomic particles which yields a new element. So, nuclear reactions, fission and fusion, produce 'clean' energy because they do not produce gaseous by-products that could harm the environment. They only yield radioactive materials that could be harmful to the health of people nearby the area. Because of this risk, safety precautions are needed in a nuclear power plant.

Smokestacks are no longer used in nuclear power plants because there are no gases. So, the first choice is eliminated. Next, you should NOT ventilate the radioactive materials. Remember this radiation travels through all types of matter so it is harmful. These type of materials are strictly contained and handled. The third choice is correct because it prevents radiation to reach the outside environment. The last option, on the other hand, is not justifiable. Before a nuclear power plant is approved by the government, it is made sure that all its employees and employers are inherently safe. Otherwise, it would not be put into operation.

Therefore, the answer is letter C.

Which of the following molecules is diamagnetic according to molecular orbital theory? A) N₂⁺ B) N₂⁻ C) CN D) CN⁻
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

D) CN⁻

Explanation:

    Hund's Rule of Maximum Multiplicity state that electrons go into degenerate orbitals of sub-levels (p,d, and f ) singly before pairing commences. Hund's rule is useful in determining the number of unpaired electrons in an atom. As such, it explains some magnetic properties of elements.

An element whose atoms or molecules contain unpaired electrons is paramagnetic. i.e., weakly attracted to substances in a magnetic field.

On the other hand, the element whose atoms or molecules are filled up with paired electrons is known as diamagnetic, i.e., not attracted by magnetic substances.

According to the molecular orbital theory, the diamagnetic molecule is CN⁻ because of the absence of unpaired electrons.

A student puts 0.020 mol of methyl methanoate into an empty and rigid 1.0 L vessel at 450 K. The pressure is measured to be 0.74
stellarik [79]

Explanation:

Starting moles of ethanol acid = 0.020 mol

At the equilibrium 50 % of the ethanol acid molecules reacted

∴ Moles of ethanol acid reacted = 0.020 mol * 50 %/100 %

                                                                   = 0.010 mol

Moles of ethanol acid remain = 0.020 mol + 0.010 mol = 0.010 mol

Moles of the product (CH3COOH)^{2} gas formed are calculated as

0.010 mol CH3COOH * 1 mol (CH3COOH)^{2} / 2 mol CH3COOH

= 0.005 mol (CH3COOH)^{2}

Therefore at the equilibrium total moles of gas present in the vessel are 0.010 mol CH3COOH and 0.005 mol (CH3COOH)^{2}

That is total gas moles at equilibrium = 0.010 mol + 0.005 mol = 0.015 mol

Now Calculate the pressure  :

0.020 mol gas has pressure of 0.74 atm therefore at the same condition what will be the pressure exerted by 0.015 mol gas

P1/n1 = P2/n2

P2 = P1*n2 / n1

      = 0.74 atm * 0.015 mol / 0.020 mol

     = 0.555 atm

Which of these bonds is the weakest?​
Olenka [21]

Answer:

The first one has the weakest bond

Explanation:

The number of atoms together shows how strong the bonds in the second bond it is 4 bonds, the third is 8 bonds, the 4th one is 4 bonds thus why the first bond is the weakest.
