If the nuclear fuel rods are still dripping with nuclear fuel or if its as clean as a baby, it doesn't matter since it can still be harmful to living things in a microscopic form, nothing in the world is 100% clean, even after you take a shower your body isn't even 100% clean, your body is crawling with germs

Technically it's not such a waste anymore but it is dangerous chemicals that could kill others around it.

0.0381g/mL will be concentration of this solution

The ratio of a solute—a substance that dissolves—to a solvent—a substance that does not dissolve—determines the concentration of a solution in chemistry. C = m/V, where C is the concentration, m is the mass of the solute dissolved, and V is the overall volume of the solution, is the accepted formula.

How to reach the solution?

First find for the density of NaOh which is 2.13 g/cm3

3.88 ÷ 2.13 = 1.82mL

100mL + 1.82mL = 101.82mL

3.88 ÷ 101.82mL = 0.0381g/mL

More about NaOh:

The extremely adaptable chemical sodium hydroxide (NaOH), sometimes referred to as caustic soda or lye, is employed in a range of manufacturing processes. A byproduct of the manufacturing of chlorine is sodium hydroxide. Numerous items that are used on a daily basis, including paper, metal, drain and oven cleansers for industry, soap, and detergents, are made with sodium hydroxide.

Food deteriorates more slowly in a refrigerator because?

viktelen [127]

Answer:

as temperature increases it speeds up chemical reactions and that accelerates the spoiling process of food. Keeping food in a cold place (a fridge) slows down those processes.

Thủy phân este trong môi trường kiềm, thu được natri axetat và ancol metylic. công thức X là gì?

ValentinkaMS [17]

Correct option is B ethyl ethanoate

The following compound is ester R−COO−R ′ and the naming of ester are done on the basis of alkanoate group (R−COO−) and alkyl (R ′ ) combined to form ester.The suffix for ester is "-oate". The full name of ester is like alkyl alkanoate. Thus the name of given compound is ethyl ethanoate.

Students in physics class are asked to find the relationship between the length of a pendulum (string with a weight at the botto

Goshia [24]

Answer:

1) $Time \ for \ pendulum \ swing \ left \ and \ right = 2 \times \pi \times \sqrt{\dfrac{Length \ of \ the \ pendulum \ string}{g} }$

2) The dependent variable = The time it takes for one pendulum swing

3) The independent variable = The length of the pendulum string with weight at the bottom

Explanation:

The relationship between the length of the pendulum string and the time it takes for one pendulum swing is giving as follows;

$T = 2 \cdot \pi \cdot \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g} }$

Where;

T = The period of oscillation = The time to complete one oscillation =Two swings of the pendulum

L = The length of the pendulum

g = The acceleration due to gravity

Therefore, the time it takes for one pendulum swing is directly proportional to the square root of the length of the pendulum

The dependent variable = The time it takes for one pendulum swing

Th independent variable = The length of the pendulum string with weight at the bottom.
