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.

How much heat in joules is required to heat a 43g sample of aluminum from an initial temperature of 72˚F to a final temperature
Stels [109]
The first step to answering this item is to convert the given temperatures in °F to °C through the equation,

   °C = (°F - 32)(5/9)

initial temperature: 72°F

    °C = (72 - 32)(5/9) = 22.22°C

final temperature: 145°F
   
    °C = (145 - 32)(5/9) = 62.78°C

Substituting to the equation,

    H = mcpdT
    
    H = (43 g)(0.903 J/g°C)(62.78 - 22.22)
   
   H = 1574.82 J

<em>Answer: 1574.82 J</em>

The bond order denotes:_____.1. the order of filling of bonding vs. antibonding orbitals. 2. the pattern in which Lewis dot stru
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

an estimate of the strength of a bond.

Explanation:

The bond order is given as;

1/2(number of bonding electrons - number of anti bonding electrons)

The bond order tells us about the strength of bond. As the bond order increases, so does the strength of the bond because atoms involved in bonding come closer to each other as the bond length decreases.

Hence, bond order is an index of bond strength. Triple bonds are stronger than double bonds which are stronger than single bonds.

Which of the following best accounts for the difference in mutagenic activity between PAHs and PAHs plus liver preparation?
guapka [62]

Answer: C

Explanation:

Some poly nuclear aromatic hydrocarbons are not carcinogenic in themselves. However, when these are made to interact with living cells, enzymes in the cells could convert the polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon into a carcinogenic material such as benzo-[a]-pyrene. This can now interact adversely with the deoxyribonucleic acid of living cells leading to genetic mutation, that is, irreversible changes in the genes of organisms.
