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.

What is the graph that represents the relation between durability of titanium and temperature ?

matrenka [14]

The downward slope represents the relation between durability of titanium and temperature because with increase temperature, strength of titanium decreases.

<h3>Can titanium withstand temperatures?</h3>

Titanium alloys have high tensile strength to weight ratio, good toughness and an ability to bear extreme temperatures of more than 600 °Celsius. This shows that if temperature increase from more than 600 °Celsius, the strength of the titanium tends to decrease because it can not withstand to it so the graph comes to downward when the temperature exceeds to 600°C.

So we can conclude that the downward slope represents the relation between durability of titanium and temperature because with increase temperature, strength of titanium decreases.
