Water.  The energy from the fission reaction is used to heat water.  The water vaporizes which causes pressure rise.  The pressure is used to drive a turbine which runs a generator.

List four greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. For each gas, describe its prevalence in the atmosphere, its natural sources, its
lakkis [162]

Answer: Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide and Fuorinated Gases

Explanation:Carbon dioxide (CO2): Carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere through burning fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil), solid waste, trees and other biological materials, and also as a result of certain chemical reactions (e.g., manufacture of cement). Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere (or "sequestered") when it is absorbed by plants as part of the biological carbon cycle.

Methane (CH4): Methane is emitted during the production and transport of coal, natural gas, and oil. Methane emissions also result from livestock and other agricultural practices and by the decay of organic waste in municipal solid waste landfills.

Nitrous oxide (N2O): Nitrous oxide is emitted during agricultural and industrial activities, combustion of fossil fuels and solid waste, as well as during treatment of wastewater.

Fluorinated gases: Hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride, and nitrogen trifluoride are synthetic, powerful greenhouse gases that are emitted from a variety of industrial processes. Fluorinated gases are sometimes used as substitutes for stratospheric ozone-depleting substances (e.g., chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, and halons). These gases are typically emitted in smaller quantities, but because they are potent greenhouse gases, they are sometimes referred to as High Global Warming Potential gases ("High GWP gases").

Which of these electron transitions correspond to absorption of energy and which to emission?
Keith_Richards [23]

The electron transitions representing absorption of energy are:

(a) n = 2 to n = 4

(d) n = 3 to n = 4

and those which represents emissions of energy are:

(b) n = 3 to n = 1

(c) n = 5 to n = 2

An electron emits energy when it jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level transitions.

An electron absorbs energy to jump from a lower energy level to a higher energy level transitions.

(a) n = 2 to n = 4

Here, the initial level (2) is lower than the final level (4).

Hence energy is absorbed.

(b) n = 3 to n = 1

Here, the initial level (3) is higher than the final level (1).

Hence energy is released.

(c) n = 5 to n = 2

Here, the initial level (5) is higher than the final level (2).

Hence energy is released.

(d) n = 3 to n = 4

Here, the initial level (3) is lower than the final level (4).

Hence energy is absorbed.

The solubility of KNO3(s) in water increases as the..
makvit [3.9K]
The answer would be b. Temperature of the solution increases 

Temperature determines the kinetic energy of the water molecule. Higher temperature will cause the molecule to moves faster and the compound (KNO3) could break solute molecule easier make it become more soluble. A higher pressure will increase the solubility of a gas, not solid

Which label belongs in the region marked X?
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

A) involves changes in temperature

Explanation:

The figure is missing, but I assume that the region marked X represents the region in common between Gay-Lussac's law and Charle's Law.

Gay-Lussac's law states that:

"For an ideal gas kept at constant volume, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature"

Mathematically, it can be written as

p\propto T

where p is the pressure of the gas and T its absolute temperature.

Charle's Law states that:

"For an ideal gas kept at constant pressure, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature"

Mathematically, it can be written as

V\propto T

where V is the volume of the gas and T its absolute temperature.

By looking at the two descriptions of the law, we see immediately that the property that they have in common is

A) involves changes in temperature

Since the temperature is NOT kept constant in the two laws.

Consider the entropy change in the following chemical or physical processes:
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Recall that entropy measures the number of microstates in a substance, which is highest in gases, followed by liquids and solids. Hence, entropy increases if the products have more gaseous molecules than the reactants.

  • In reaction one, chlorine gas is converted into solid NaCl, so entropy decreaes.
  • In reaction two, four moles of gas are converted into two moles of gas, so entropy decreases.
  • In reaction three, ice is melted to form water, which has higher entropy. Thus, entropy increases.
  • In reaction four, a liquid is freezed into its solid phase, leading to a decrease in entropy.
  • In reaction five, oxygen gas is converted into solid MgO, so entropy decreases.

In conclusion, the answer is D.
