Answer:

Reactor core

Explanation:

Fuel rods are long slender rods which contain the fissionable material that serves as the nuclear fuel such as uranium oxide. The fuel rods are loaded into the reactor core and surrounded by coolants.

The fuel material inside the fuel rid is a highly radioactive substance which powers the nuclear reactor.

Which of these expressions are correct variations of the Combined Gas Law?

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Both

Explanation:

The combined gas law is also known as the general gas law.

From the ideal gas law we assume that n = 1;

So;

PV = nRT

and then;

$\frac{P_{1}V_{1} }{T_{1} }$ = $\frac{P_{2}V_{2} }{T_{2} }$

If we cross multiply;

P₁V₁T₂ = P₂V₂T₁

So;

T₁ = $T_{2} \frac{P_{1}V_{1} }{P_{2} V_{2} }$

Also;

V₂ = $V_{1} \frac{P_{1} T_{2} }{P_{2} T_{1} }$

So from the choices both are correct

You have 8 moles of a gas at 250 K in a 6 L container. What is the pressure of the gas? Show your work

Bogdan [553]

Hello:

In this case, we will use the Clapeyron equation:

P = ?

n = 8 moles

T = 250 K

R = 0.082 atm.L/mol.K

V = 6 L

Therefore:

P * V = n * R * T

P * 6 = 8 * 0.082* 250

P* 6 = 164

P = 164 / 6

P = 27.33 atm

Hope that helps!

Choose the correct products for the double replacement reaction below. Click here to access the solubility rules to determine wh

Lemur [1.5K]

MgCl₂ & PbSO₄ is the correct product for the given double replacement reaction.

<h3>What is double displacement reaction?</h3>

In the double displacement reaction displacement of two substrate will take place among two reactants and formation of products takes place.

In the question, PbCl₂ reacts with MgSO₄ and displacement between the cations takes place and formation of MgCl₂ and insoluble precipitate PbSO₄ is formed.

Given reaction is represented as:

PbCl₂ + MgSO₄ → MgCl₂ + PbSO₄

According to the activity series, reactivity of Magnesium is more as compared to the lead atom. So lead is displaced by the magnesium atom and form the above given products.

Hence, option (3) is correct i.e. MgCl₂ & PbSO₄.
