What must happen to uranium before it can be used as a fuel source?

Chemistry

Otrada [13]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Uranium must be purified before it is used as a fuel source

Explanation:

The purer the uranium sample, the more the concentration of uranium in the fuel is.

Whenever uranium is extracted from nature, it contains a lot of impurities. Only a few special nuclear reactors can utilize uranium in this raw state. most of the others have to get uranium to become about 3% pure before they begin using it.

To do this, uranium has to be passed through a series of chemical reactions all with the aim of extracting the other compounds that may be present in the fuel.

The density of gas particles in a section of Earth’s atmosphere decreases. Which of the following is the most likely explanation
Bad White [126]
<span>This is due to the fact that the air pressure in that certain section of Earth’s atmosphere decreased. As density of gas particles decreases as air pressure decreases. Therefore, density of gas particles and air pressure have a direct relationship. An increase in air pressure would then effect to an increase in gas particles. </span>

Brainliest! a. Write a short historical account of the discovery of the Avogadro’s number.
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

a. Amadeo Avogadro (1776-1856) was the author of Avogadro's Hypothesis in 1811, which, together with Gay-Lussac's Law of Combining Volumes, was used by Stanislao Cannizzaro to elegantly remove all doubt about the establishment of the atomic weight scale at the Karlsruhe Conference of 1860.  The name "Avogadro's Number" is just an honorary name attached to the calculated value of the number of atoms, molecules, etc. in a gram mole of any chemical substance. Of course if we used some other mass unit for the mole such as "pound mole", the "number" would be different than 6.022 x 1023.

b. The first person to have calculated the number of molecules in any mass of substance was Josef Loschmidt, (1821-1895), an Austrian high school teacher, who in 1865, using the new Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT) calculated the number of molecules in one cubic centimeter of gaseous substance under ordinary conditions of temperature of pressure, to be somewhere around 2.6 x 1019 molecules. This is usually known as "Loschmidt's Constant.

Task 2

a.

Percent composition is the percent by mass of each element present in a compound. Water, H2O, is the first example. One mole of water is 18.0152 grams. In that compound, there are two moles of H atoms and 2 x 1.008 = 2.016 grams. That's how many grams of hydrogen are present in one mole of water. this is an example. i don't know what you are describing though. i need more info for this question

b. 6.022 to 6.023 x 10^23

c. i don't know what this one is since there is nothing to describe the unknown liquid.

d. Yes a killer, but not a specific person

How many miles of co2 are produced if 5.0 moles of c10h22 react with an excess of o2?
Naily [24]
The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
2C₁₀H₂₂ + 31O₂ ---> 20CO₂  + 22H₂O
stoichiometry of C₁₀H₂₂ to CO₂ is 2:20
this means that for every 2 mol of C₁₀H₂₂ that reacts - 20 mol of CO₂ is formed 
therefore when 5.0 mol of C₁₀H₂₂ reacts - 20/2 x 5.0 = 50 mol of CO₂ is formed 
50 mol of CO₂ is produced.
