Why must power plants spend so much money and be so cautious in dealing with these materials?

1 answer:

8 0

If you are referring to nuclear power plants and radioactive materials, then there is a high necessity to be cautious and stay safe because only by being safe you can prevent accidents like those caused in Ukraine and Japan. Unlike other types of power plants whose destruction in case of an accident can relatively easily be contained, nuclear power plants are extremely difficult to manage if things go out of hand since you can destroy the air around it, the water, the food by ruining the soil, and many other things.

Answer:

3. crystal habit and cleavage.

Explanation:

Crystal habit is a distinctive characteristic which is shown in its general shape, crystallographic forms, how developed each form is.

Cleavage is the ability of a mineral to break in smooth planes parallel to zones of weak bonding. Cleavage in three directions at right angles (90o). Cubic cleavage. Cleavage in three directions not at right angles (120o and 60o).

For the following reaction, KcKc = 255 at 1000 KK.

bonufazy [111]

Answer :

The equilibrium concentration of CO is, 0.016 M

The equilibrium concentration of Cl₂ is, 0.034 M

The equilibrium concentration of COCl₂ is, 0.139 M

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction is:

$CO(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons COCl_2(g)$

Initial conc. 0.1550 0.173 0

At eqm. (0.1550-x) (0.173-x) x

As we are given:

$K_c=255$

The expression for equilibrium constant is:

$K_c=\frac{[COCl_2]}{[CO][Cl_2]}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$255=\frac{(x)}{(0.1550-x)\times (0.173-x)}$

x = 0.139 and x = 0.193

We are neglecting value of x = 0.193 because equilibrium concentration can not be more than initial concentration.

Thus, we are taking value of x = 0.139

The equilibrium concentration of CO = (0.1550-x) = (0.1550-0.139) = 0.016 M

The equilibrium concentration of Cl₂ = (0.173-x) = (0.173-0.139) = 0.034 M

The equilibrium concentration of COCl₂ = x = 0.139 M
