Give an element it is used as fuel in nuclear reactors

Chemistry
1 answer:
bazaltina [42]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Uranium

Explanation:

The only natural element currently used for nuclear fission in reactors is uranium. Natural uranium is a highly energetic substance: one kilogram of it can generate as much energy as 10 tonnes of oil. Naturally occurring uranium comprises, almost entirely, two isotopes: U238 (99.283%) and U235 (0.711%).

What factors could have affected your results?
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

heat gained by metal + heat lost by water = 0

           m₁C₁ΔT₁           +         m₂C₂ΔT₂         = 0

C₁ = -(m₂C₂ΔT₂)/(m₁ΔT₁)

The factors determining C₁ are

  • mass of water
  • temperature change of water (T_f - Ti)
  • mass of metal
  • temperature change of metal (T_f - Ti)

Any factor that makes the numerator higher or the denominator lower than what you thought, will give a calculated C₁ that is too high (and vice versa).

The major sources of uncertainty are probably in determining the temperatures, especially the initial and final temperatures of the metal. However, you will have to decide what the principal factors were in your experiment.

For example, did the metal have a chance to cool during the transfer to the calorimeter? How easy was it to determine the equilibrium temperature, etc?

Factors Affecting the Calculation of Specific Heat Capacity

<u>          Too Low                 </u>              <u>      Too high                   </u>              

Water                                             Water

    Mass less than thought                Mass more than thought

    Ti lower                                         Ti higher

    T_f higher                                       T_f lower

Metal                                              Metal

    Mass more than thought             Mass less than thought

    Ti higher                                       Ti lower

Calculate the pH of each solution at 25∘C
JulijaS [17]

Answer: pH of HCl =5, HNO3 = 1,

NaOH = 9, KOH = 12

Explanation:

pH = -log [H+ ]

1. 1.0 x 10^-5 M HCl

pH = - log (1.0 x 10^-5)

= 5 - log 1 = 5

2. 0.1 M HNO3

pH = - log (1.0 x 10 ^ -1)

pH = 1 - log 1 = 1

3. 1.0 x 10^-5 NaOH

pOH = - log (1.0 x 10^-5)

pOH = 5 - log 1 = 5

pH + pOH = 14

Therefore , pH = 14 - 5 = 9

4. 0.01 M KOH

pOH = - log ( 1.0 x 10^ -2)

= 2 - log 1 = 2

pH + pOH = 14

Therefore, pH = 14 - 2 = 12

What are the roles of producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers for the trophic levels in the energy
Nesterboy [21]
     This question is more for Biology than Chemistry, but the role of producers is to make energy (food) to be consumed. In a pyramid diagram, the producers would be at the bottom. Now going up the pyramid, the primary conumers are the first to consume producers and obtain energy from them. As you go up the pyramid, the secondary consumers will consume the primary consumers as a way to obtain energy, and the same goes for tertiary consumers towards secondaries.

As you go up the energy pyramid, you will notice a trend that there is less energy being obtained from each consumer. In other words, the producers will ALWAYS have more energy than the tertiary consumers.

I hope this answers your question.

What is an electrolyte in an electrochemical cell?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

An electrolytic cell uses electrical energy to drive a non-spontaneous redox reaction. An electrolytic cell is a kind of electrochemical cell. ... The electrolyte is usually a solution of water or other solvents in which ions are dissolved. Molten salts such as sodium chloride are also electrolytes.
