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) .

Answers:

1. CO₂ < Ar    < N₂ < He;

2.  Cl₂ < CO₂ < Ar < N₂ < H₂

Step-by-step explanation:

Graham’s Law applies to the diffusion of gases:

The rate of diffusion (r) of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass (M).

r = \frac{1 }{\sqrt{M}}

If you have two gases, the ratio of their rates of diffusion is

\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}} = \sqrt{\frac{M_{1}}{M_{2}}}

1. Order of diffusion rates

According to Graham's Law, the lightest gases will have the highest diffusion rates and the heavier gases the slowest.

The molecular masses of the gases are:

Ar 39.95; CO₂ 44.01; He 4.00; N₂ 28.02

Putting them in order,we get

44.01 > 39.95 > 28.02  > 4.00

CO₂   >    Ar     >     N₂    >   He

Thus, the relative rates of diffusion are

CO₂ < Ar < N₂ < He

2. Order of molecular speeds

A postulate of the Kinetic Molecular Theory is that at a given temperature, the average kinetic energy of the molecules is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.

KE = ½ mv² ∝ T

           mv² ∝ T      Divide each side by m

              v² ∝ T/m

If T is constant.

              v² ∝ 1/m     Take the square root of each side

               v ∝ 1/√m

This is an inverse relationship, so the molecules with the smallest molecular mass should have the highest average speeds.

The molecular masses of the gases are:

N₂ 28.02; H₂ 2.016; Cl₂ 70.91; CO₂ 44.01; Ar 39.95

Putting them in order. we get

70.91 > 44.01 > 39.95 > 28.02  > 2.016

   Cl₂   >  CO₂  >   Ar    >     N₂   >   H₂

Thus, the relative molecular speeds are

Cl₂ < CO₂ < Ar < N₂ < H₂

In the background information, it was stated that CaF2 has solubility, at room temperature, of 0.00160 g per 100 g of water. How
____ [38]

Answer:

2.05*10⁻⁵ moles of CF₂ can dissolve in 100 g of water.

12.82 moles of CaF₂ will dissolve in exactly 1.00 L of solution

Explanation:

First, by definition of solubility, in 100 g of water there are 0.0016 g of CaF₂. So, to know how many moles are 0.0016 g, you must know the molar mass of the compound. For that you know:

  • Ca: 40 g/mole
  • F: 19 g/mole

So the molar mass of CaF₂ is:

CaF₂= 40 g/mole + 2*19 g/mole= 78 g/mole

Now you can apply the following rule of three: if there are 78 grams of CaF₂ in 1 mole, in 0.0016 grams of the compound how many moles are there?

moles=\frac{0.0016 grams*1 mole}{78 grams}

moles=2.05*10⁻⁵

<u><em>2.05*10⁻⁵ moles of CF₂ can dissolve in 100 g of water.</em></u>

Now, to answer the following question, you can apply the following rule of three: if by definition of density in 1 mL there is 1 g of CaF₂, in 1000 mL (where 1L = 1000mL) how much mass of the compound is there?

mass of CaF_{2}=\frac{1000 mL*1g}{1mL}

mass of CaF₂= 1000 g

Now you can apply the following rule of three: if there are 78 grams of CaF₂ in 1 mole, in 1000 grams of the compound how many moles are there?

moles=\frac{1000 grams*1 mole}{78 grams}

moles=12.82

<u><em>12.82 moles of CaF₂ will dissolve in exactly 1.00 L of solution</em></u>

If an object has a density of 0.55 g/mL, what is its density in cg/L?
expeople1 [14]

"cg" is centigram, which is one-hundredth of a gram.

I will first convert from g to cg (multiply by 100), then from mL to L (multiply by 1000).

\frac{0.55g}{mL}*\frac{100cg}{1g}*\frac{1000mL}{1L}=55,000\frac{cg}{L} \ or \ 5.5e4\frac{cg}{L}
