Answer:

The answer is C. Production of wastes needing long-term storage.

Explanation:

Nuclear energy is characterized by producing, in addition to a large amount of electrical energy, nuclear waste that must be housed in specialized tanks, since these have a high content of radioactive substances of very long age and of high toxicity, as is the case of plutonium 239. Highly active waste is considered to be isolated from the environment for a period of time from thousands to millions of years; For this reason nuclear waste has been accumulating, which can become an environmental risk in the future.

Correct Answer is Option C i.e. <span>production of wastes needing long-term storage.

Reason: 
Most of the nuclear power plant uses nuclear fission reaction for generation of electricity. In a nuclear fission reaction, a radio-active nuclei (high atomic mass) is bombarded with fast moving projectile. This results in nuclear disintegration. The mass defect between product and reactant results in generation of energy. The daughter element generated during this event, may also be radio-active in nature. These materials have extremely high half-life. Hence, this waste product needs to be stored safely for long-time so as to minimize the risk of nuclear contamination. </span>

What action would you expect an atom of Aluminum to undergo?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

C. Lose three electrons to have a full outer shell  

Explanation:

Al is in Group 13 of the Periodic Table, so it has three valence electrons.

It must either lose three electrons or gain five to achieve a stable octet.

It is easier to lose three electrons than it is to gain five, so Al loses three electrons.

D. is wrong, for the same reason.

A. is wrong. If Al lost three electrons, it would be breaking into a stable inner shell.

C. is wrong. Al is a metal, so it will lose electrons in a reaction.

A cyanide solution with avolume of 12.73 mL was treated with 25.00 mL of Ni2+solution (containing
natima [27]

Answer:

The molarity of this solution is 0,09254M

Explanation:

The concentration of the Ni²⁺ solution is:

Ni²⁺ + EDTA⁴⁻ → Ni(EDTA)²⁻

0,03935L × 0,01307M = 5,143x10⁻⁴ moles Ni²⁺ ÷ 0,03010L =<em>0,01709M Ni²⁺</em>

25,00 mL of this solution contain:

0,01709M × 0,02500L = 4,2716x10⁻⁴ moles of Ni²⁺

The moles of Ni²⁺ that are in excess and react with EDTA⁴⁻ are:

0,01015L × 0,01307M = 1,3266x10⁻⁴ moles of Ni²⁺

Thus, moles of Ni²⁺ that react with CN⁻ are:

4,2716x10⁻⁴ - 1,3266x10⁻⁴ = 2,9450x10⁻⁴ moles of Ni²⁺

For the reaction:

4CN⁻ + Ni²⁺ → Ni(CN)₄²⁻

Four moles of CN⁻ react with 1 mole of Ni²⁺:

2,9450x10⁻⁴ moles of Ni²⁺ × \frac{4 mol CN^-}{1 molNi^{2+}} = <em>1,178x10⁻³ moles of CN⁻</em>

As the volume of cyanide solution is 12,73mL. The molarity of this solution is:

<em>1,178x10⁻³ moles of CN⁻ ÷ 0,01273L = </em><em>0,09254M</em>

I hope it helps!

What is an energy transformation?
Dafna11 [192]
Energy is invisible yet it's all around us and throughout the universe. Energy can never be made or destroyed, but its form can be converted and changed.
While energy can be transferred or transformed, the total amount of energy does not change – this is called energy conservation.
Energy transformation, also known as energy conversion, is the process of changing energy from one form to another. In physics, energy is a quantity that provides the capacity to perform work or provides heat.
When energy is transformed from one form to another, or moved from one place to another, or from one system to another there is energy loss. This means that when energy is converted to a different form, some of the input energy is turned into a highly disordered form of energy, like heat. This consent is known as “hidden energy”.
