What is a problem commonly associated with nuclear power facilities?

Chemistry
1 answer:
gregori [183]3 years ago
5 0
(1) False, lots of energy is actually produced from nuclear fuel, if we didn't get much then we probably wouldn't use it
(2) False, its burning coal that contributes to acid rain, since it contains sulfur
(3) False again, we can control the reaction with aptly named control rods, which are typically made of boron, to absorb some of the neutrons flying around in the chain reaction
(4) True, radioactive waste is very difficult to dispose of, and is also very dangerous. Sources of radiation can remain so for millions of years

What did Dalton’s atomic theory teach
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

  • All matter is composed of atoms.
  • Atoms are not destructible.
  • Compounds formation occur by the combination of one or different types of atoms
  • In the chemical reactions, atoms are rearranged.
  • The atom of the same elements are similar in size and properties and the Atoms of the different elements are different in size and properties.

Explanation:

  • <u>John Dalton has developed the Dalton atomic theory.</u>
  • Dalton atomic theory was the first to explain that all matters composed of atoms and its properties, the atom as the smallest particle which cannot be destroyed and damaged.
  • This theory was based on the <u>law of conservation of mass and law of constant composition.</u>
  • His theory was accepted by many scientists.

The mean radius of the Earth is 6,371 km, and 70.8% of its surface is covered by water. What is the surface area of the Earth co
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

147,558,601 sqkm

Explanation:

The earth is spherical in shape;

area of sphere = 4πr²

if 70.8% is covered by water then 100-70.8 will be land,

= 29.2%

area occupied by land = (29.2/100) * 4πr²

                                = 0.292*4*3.142*(6371)²

                        =147,558,601 sqkm

Determine the number of grams of C4H10 that are required to completely react to produce 8.70 mol of CO2 according to the followi
Nitella [24]

Answer:

126.4 g of C_{4}H_{10} are required

Explanation:

Balanced reaction: 2C_{4}H_{10}+13O_{2}\rightarrow 8CO_{2}+10H_{2}O

According to balanced reaction-

8 moles of CO_{2} are produced from 2 moles of C_{4}H_{10}

So, 8.70 moles of CO_{2} are produced from (\frac{2}{8}\times 8.70) moles of C_{4}H_{10} or 2.175 moles of C_{4}H_{10}

Molar mass of C_{4}H_{10} = 58.12 g/mol

So, mass of C_{4}H_{10} required = (2.175\times 58.12)g = 126.4 g

Hence 126.4 g of C_{4}H_{10} are required

Examine the given reaction.
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The correct option is;

D)

Explanation:

The given reaction is presented as follows;

NH₄Cl (s) → NH₃ (g) + HCl (g) ΔH° = 176 kJ/mol, ΔS° = 0.285 kJ/(mol·K)

We note that the Gibbs free energy, ΔG° is represented by the following equation;

ΔG° = ΔH° - T·ΔS°

Where:

T = Temperature (Kelvin)

The reaction will be spontaneous for exergonic reactions, ΔG° < 0 and it will not be spontaneous for endergonic reaction, ΔG° > 0

At room temperature, T = 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K

Which gives;

ΔG° = 176  - 298.15 × 0.285 = 91.03 kJ/mol which is > 0 Not spontaneous reaction

At 800°C, we have;

T = 273.15 + 800°C  + 1073.15 K

ΔG° = 176  - 1073.15 * 0.285 = -129.85 kJ/mol which is < 0 the reaction will be spontaneous

The correct option is therefore, that at room temperature, the reaction is not spontaneous. However, at high temperatures. like 800 °C, the free energy value turns negative and this reaction becomes spontaneous.
