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

Chemistry

Otrada [13]2 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.

Why is it suggested you use weighing paper or a watch glass instead of filter paper on which to allow a sample to dry? please gi
snow_lady [41]
The suggestion is to prevent a puddle of the liquid present in the sample from forming or from it leaking on to the surface on which it is placed. For example, if precipitates of a solid are removed from water and then placed on filter paper to dry, the water will soak into the filter paper and then leak on to the counter on which it is placed. If this precipitate were placed in a watch glass or weighing paper, the water would only evaporate and would not contaminate the sample.

The ka of acetic acid ch3co2h is 1.8 x10-5. what is the ph
AysviL [449]
You must know the concentration of the acetic acid. Suppose the concentration is 0.1 M. The solution is as follows:

            CH₃COOH → CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺
 I                  0.1               0              0
C                 -x                +x            +x
E              0.1 - x             x               x

Ka = (x)(x)/(0.1 - x)
1.8×10⁻⁵ = x²/(0.1 - x)
Solving for x,
x = 1.333×10⁻³ = H⁺

pH = -log[H⁺] = -log(1.333×10⁻³)
pH = 2.88
