Answer:

The most likely reason is that spent fuel bars can infect the community with radiation causing numerous health problems.

Explanation:

A spent fuel is a fuel that has been exposed to irradiation in a nuclear reactor. This fuel expels radiation and this is one of the main reasons why a group of people oppose the storage of spent fuel bars in their community. This is because through this fuel can occur a leak of radiation contaminating the community and generating major health problems.

What is the name of this hydrocarbon?

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

2-methylebutane

Explanation:

it is a hydrocarbon and there is a specific Rule for its nomenclature.

that is known as IUPAC naming system. According to it

The compound that has all single bonds name ends on ane.
Names according to the number of Carbons,

* For one carbon compound it is known as methane,

* For 2 ethane,

* For 3 propane

* For 4 Butane and so on.

select the longest chain of compound
Start numbering with lowest substituted position at carbon
branch compound name as Iso and neo as whole

So keeping in mind the compound can be named as

2-methylebutane

As the longest chain contain four carbon atoms so it will name as butane
The substitution of methyl group is on C-2

*Note: it can also named as isopantane as it is branched and have five carbons but it could not be 3-isopentane.

Aspirin can be prepared from salicylic acid ( C 7 H 6 O 3 CX7HX6OX3), which has a molar mass of 138.12 g/mol, and acetic anhydri

pychu [463]

Answer: The theoretical yield of aspirin is 4.14 g

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

$\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}$ $\text{Moles of salicylic acid}=\frac{3.20g}{138.12g/mol}=0.023moles$

mass of acetic anhydride = $density\times volume =1.082g/ml\times 3.71ml=4.01g$

$\text{Moles of acetic anhydride}=\frac{4.01g}{102.04g/mol}=0.039moles$

$C_9H_6O_3+C_4H_6O_3\rightarrow C_9H_8O_4+C_2H_3O_2$

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of salycylic acid require 1 mole of acetic anhydride

Thus 0.023 moles of salycylic acid require= $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.023=0.023moles$ of acetic anhydride

Thus salycylic acid is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and acetic anhydride is the excess reagent.

As 1 mole of salycylic give = 1 mole of aspirin

Thus 0.023 moles of salycylic acid give = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.023=0.023moles$ of aspirin

Mass of aspirin = $moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.023moles\times 180.15g/mol=4.14g$

Thus theoretical yield of aspirin is 4.14 g

Explain the process of groundwater

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Limestone is easily eroded from above and below.

Explanation:

The Florida bedrock is largely made of limestone. Because limestone is a rock that is easily eroded, the landscape of a great part of Florida is classified as karstic.

Karstic landscapes are dotted by sinkholes, underground rivers, caves, and springs. The more acidic the groundwater or rainwater, the faster and more easily the limestone will succumb to erosion.

In this way, underground rivers, streams, runoff, rain, and underground water pooled in caves have all carved out gaps and caverns in the weak limestone bedrock.
