Only 0.7% of natural uranium is 'fissile', or capable of undergoing fission, the process by which energy is produced in a nuclear reactor. The form, or isotope, of uranium which is fissile is the uranium-235 (U-235) isotope. ... Most is then converted into uranium hexafluoride, ready for the enrichment plant.

Answer:

Use of fissionable elements to produce heat and is obtained in underground mines.

Explanation:

Nuclear plants use chemical elements that when subjected to nuclear reactions (fission or fusion) release considerable amounts of energy (heat). This heat is used to produce steam and move turbines that generate electrical energy.

The nuclear compounds are obtained mainly in underground mines, after this the compounds are extracted and subjected to purification processes the purified element is taken to nuclear power plants where they are used to obtain the electrical energy.

hram777 [196]

Answer:

the change in energy of the gas mixture during the reaction is 227Kj

Explanation:

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW

Measurements show that the enthalpy of a mixture of gaseous reactants increases by 319kJ during a certain chemical reaction, which is carried out at a constant pressure. Furthermore, by carefully monitoring the volume change it is determined that -92kJ of work is done on the mixture during the reaction. Calculate the change of energy of the gas mixture during the reaction in kJ.

From thermodynamics

ΔE= q + w

Where w= workdone on the system or by the system

q= heat added or remove

ΔE= change in the internal energy

q=+ 319kJ ( absorbed heat is + ve

w= -92kJ

If we substitute the given values,

ΔE= 319 + (-92)= 227 Kj

With the increase in enthalpy and there is absorbed heat, hence the reaction is an endothermic reaction.
