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.

Which of the following has the most atoms per mole?
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

e) Na₃PO₄

Explanation:

a) BaSO₄

1 mole of BaSO ₄ = 6.022×10²³ molecules

1 mole of BaSO ₄ contain 1 atom of Ba one atom of S and four atoms of O.

Total number of atoms = 6 atoms

6.022×10²³ × 6 atoms = 36.132 ×10²³ atoms

b) NaNO₂

1 mole of NaNO₂= 6.022×10²³ molecules

1 mole of NaNO₂ contain 1 atom of Na one atom of N and two atoms of O.

Total number of atoms = 4 atoms

6.022×10²³ × 4 atoms = 24.088 ×10²³ atoms

c)KMnO₄

1 mole of KMnO₄ = 6.022×10²³ molecules

1 mole of KMnO₄ contain 1 atom of K one atom of Mn and four atoms of O.

Total number of atoms = 6 atoms

6.022×10²³ × 6 atoms = 36.132 ×10²³ atoms

d) KCl

1 mole of KCl = 6.022×10²³ molecules

1 mole of KCl contain 1 atom of K one atom of Cl.

Total number of atoms = 2 atoms

6.022×10²³ × 2 atoms = 12.044 ×10²³ atoms

e) Na₃PO₄

1 mole of Na₃PO₄ = 6.022×10²³ molecules

1 mole of Na₃PO₄ contain 3 atom of Na one atom of P and four atoms of O.

Total number of atoms = 8 atoms

6.022×10²³ × 8 atoms = 48.176×10²³ atoms
