The biggest reason is radioactive wastes. Nuclear power generated radioactive wastes like Uranimum, plutonium and amercium that inhibits gene expression and causes cancer to the environment. Nuclear plants use to release these wastes into the oceans, and it causes fishes to exhibit gender change, 3 eyes, 2 tails etc. The impact on human shows signs of serious blood, liver and lung cancers. 

There are currently no way to get rid of these wastes as they take hundred thousands of years to decompose. 

Another reason is they cause a small amount of green gas emission. Releases CO2 to the sky. They exhibit radioactive gas emission as well (causes cancer) .

In separating mixtures is it an advantage or a disadvantage?
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Purpose: To become familiar with the techniques for separation of amixture of solids.

Explanation:

a mixture of pure substances. If you have a mixture of tennis ballsand marbles (not pure substances by the way), it would be easy toseparate the mixture. However, it is more difficult to separate asand (also not a pure substance) and salt mixture. Even with verygood tweezers and a magnifying glass, it would be extremelytedious. You could take advantage of the fact that salt dissolvesin water and sand does not. To separate iron powder from an ironand sand mixture you can take advantage of the magnetic propertiesof iron and separate the mixture.

To summarize a complete procedure for separating a mixture ofseveral substances, it is best to prepare a flow chart. A flowchartis a schematic representation of an algorithm or a stepwiseprocess, showing the steps as boxes of various kinds, and theirorder by connecting these with arrows. Flowcharts are used indesigning or documenting a process.

A balloon is filled with 2.00 L of helium gas at sea level, 1.00 atm and 12.0ºC. The balloon is released and it rises to an alti
pshichka [43]

Answer:

THE VOLUME OF THE BALLOON IS 1.45 L

Explanation:

At sea level:

Volume = 2 L

Pressure = 1 atm

Temperature = 12 °C

At 30000 ft altitude:

Pressure = 0.30 atm

Temperature = -55°C

Volume = unknown

Using the general gas formula:

P1 V1 / T1 = P2 V2 / T2

Re-arranging the formula by making V2 the subject of the equation, we have;

V2 = P1 V1 T2 / T1 P2

V2 = 1 * 2 * 12 / 0.30 * 55

V2 = 24 / 16.5

V2 = 1.45 L

The volume of the balloon at the temperature of -55 C and 0.30 atm is 1.45 L

Each student in a class placed a 2.00 g sample of a mixture of Cu and Al in a beaker and placed the beaker in a fume hood. The s
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Percentage mass of copper in the sample = 32%

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction producing Cu(NO₃) is given below:

Cu(s)+ 4HNO₃(aq) ---> Cu(NO₃)(aq) + 2NO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)

From the equation of reaction, 1 mole of Cu(NO₃) is produced from 1 mole of copper. Therefore, 0.010 moles of Cu(NO₃) will be produced from 0.010 mole of copper.

Molar mass of copper = 64 g/mol

mass of copper = number of moles * molar mass

mass of copper = 0.01 mol * 64 g/mol = 0.64 g

Percentage by mass of copper in the 2.00 g sample = (0.64/2.00) * 100%

Percentage mass of copper in the sample = 32%
