The process of mining uranium is no different than the process of mining coal, or other minerals. This process produces waste that can enter bodies of water, destroys habitats, and contributes to pollution. Other aspects of the process of using nuclear energy have potential environmental impacts, but none as great as the actual mining and processing of the uranium ore.

The process of uranium mining generates what is called uranium tailings. These are the waste by products of uranium mining. Tailings contain the radioactive decay products of the uranium atom and these products are quite radioactive. Radioactive particles found in tailings can emit anywhere from twenty to one hundred times as much radiation as the natural levels at natural uranium deposits. These radioactive byproducts can lead to cancer if exposed.

Explanation:

Moles=mass/molar mass

moles × molar mass = mass

0.206 x 119= mass

Mass= 24. 51grams

3. A 0.025L solution of HCl is neutralized by 0.018L of a 1.0 M NaOH solution. What is the concentration of the HCl solution?​
Nookie1986 [14]

The concentration of the HCl solution is 0.72 M.

<h3>How do we calculate the concentration?</h3>

Concentration of the required solution by the use of the known concentration solution will be determine by using the below equation as:

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂, where

  • M₁ & V₁ are the molarity and volume of the HCl solution.
  • M₂ & V₂ are the molarity and volume of the NaOH solution.

On putting values in the above equation, we get

M₁ = (1)(0.018) / (0.025) = 0.72 M

Hence required concentration of HCl is 0.72M.

Are ions of alkali metals larger or smaller than ions of alkaline earth metals from the same period
PtichkaEL [24]
Because size of an atom INCREASES from top to bottom and DECREASES from left to right on the periodic table. If to elements are in the same period they can't increase in size based on the up or down trend. Instead, notice that Alkali Metals are LEFT of Alkaline Earth Metals. Therefore, the Alkali Metal will be larger than the Alkaline Earth Metals.
