Answer:

B. Nuclear fusion generates less radioactive waste than nuclear fission.

Explanation:

There are basically two types of nuclear reaction nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. In nuclear fission one molecule breaks into two atoms and generate enormous energy and in nuclear fusion two atoms combined and form a molecule. In nuclear fusion energy released is more than nuclear fission. And waste is generated more in case of nuclear fission.

The correct option is B.
Nuclear fission and fusion are two different types of nuclear reactions, through which energy may be obtained. Nuclear fission involves the splitting of a molecule into two different part in order to generate energy while nuclear fusion reaction involves the joining together of two elements in other to form one product. Nuclear fission generate much radioactive waste than nuclear fusion. The radioactive waste that is obtainable during nuclear fusion is less than 1% of that produce by nuclear fission.

givi [52]

Answer:

d = 13 miles

Explanation:

Lets say the position of court house is origin in this case

her office is located at 4 miles west and 4 miles south of court house

so here we have coordinate of the office with respect to court house is given as

$r_1 = (-4\hat i - 4\hat j)$

now the position of her home is located at 1 miles east and 8 miles north of the court house

so the coordinates of her home is given as

$r_2 = (1\hat i + 8 \hat j)$

now the change in the position is given as the distance between office and home

$d = r_2 - r_1$

$d = 5 \hat i + 12 \hat j$

$d = \sqrt{5^2 + 12^2} = 13 miles$

Helium-oxygen mixtures are used by divers to avoid the bends and are used in medicine to treat some respiratory ailments. What p

Temka [501]

Answer:

The percentage by mole of Helium present in the Helium-Oxygen mixture is = 66.6%

Explanation:

From General gas equation.

PV = nRT............................... Equation 1

Where n = number of moles, V = volume, P = pressure, T = temperature, P = pressure, V = volume.

n = mass/molar mass .................. Equation 2

substituting equation 2 into equation 1.

PV = (mass/molar mass)RT

⇒ Mass/molar mass = PV/RT..................... Equation 3

But mass = Density × Volume

⇒ M = D × V.................... Equation 4

Where D = density, M = mass

Substituting equation 4 into equation 3

DV/molar mass = PV/RT............ Equation 5

Dividing both side of the equation by Volume (V) in Equation 5

D/molar mass = P/RT .............. Equation 6

Cross multiplying equation 6

D × RT = P × molar mass

∴ Molar mass = (D × RT)/P.................. Equation 7

Where D = 0.518 g/L , R = 0.0821 atm dm³/K.mol,

T = 25°C = 25 + 273 = 298 K,

P =721 mmHg = (721/760) atm= 0.949 atm

Substituting these values into equation 7

Molar mass = (0.518 × 0.0821 × 298)/0.949

Molar mass = 13.35 g/mole

The molar mass of the mixture is =13.35 g/mole

Let y be the mole fraction of Helium and 1-y be the mole fraction of oxygen.

∴ 13.35 = 4(y) + 32(1-y)

13.35 = 4y + 32 - 32y

Collecting like terms in the equation,

32y - 4y = 32 - 13.35

28y = 18.65

y = 18.65/28

y =0.666

y = 0.666 × 100 = 66.6%

∴The percentage by mole of Helium present in the Helium-Oxygen mixture is = 66.6%

A sound has a sound level of 30 dB. Its intensity is what multiple of the standard reference level for intensities?

arsen [322]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

1000th multiple of the standard reference level for intensities.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The sound intensity level (β), measured in decibels, of a sound with an intensity of I is defined as follows;

β = 10 log (I / I₀) --------------------(i)

Where;

I₀ = reference intensity

Given from the question;

β = sound level = 30dB

Substitute this value into equation (i) as follows;

30 = 10 log (I / I₀)

Divide both sides by 3;

3 = log (I / I₀)

Take antilog of both sides;

10^(3) = (I / I₀)

1000 = I / I₀

Solve for I;

I = 1000I₀

Therefore the intensity of the sound is 1000 times the standard reference level for intensities (I₀)

The electric potential at the surface of a charged conductor _______.

frez [133]

Answer:

The electric potential at the surface of a charged conductor<u> is always such that the potential is zero at all points inside the conductor.</u>

Explanation:

Each point on the surface of a balanced charged conductor has the same electrical potential.

The surface on any charged conductor in electrostatic equilibrium is an equipotential surface. Since the electric field is equal to zero inside the conductor, the electric potential at any point inside and on the surface is equivalent to its value.
