Nuclear energy has some advantages over traditional methods of producing electricity. It has little impact on air quality and is more efficient than traditional methods of producing electricity. It does, however, use a nonrenewable resource, uranium. Uranium must be mined just like coal, which does have detrimental effects on the environment. Nuclear power plants also produce radioactive waste, which leads to difficulties in storage. Also, nuclear power plants use large amounts of water and can contribute to thermal pollution.

In the reaction n2 + 3h2 ---&gt; 2nh3, how many grams of nh3 are produced if 25.0 g n2 reacts with excess h2? question 10 option
Lisa [10]
Molar mass of N2 = 28

Moles of N2 = 25 / 28 = 0.89

So, moles of NH3 produce = 2 x 0.89 = 1.78 

Note: H2 is in excess. so no need to care about it.

How a cation is formed by an atom?​
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Cations are positively charged atoms and hence we need to make the atom positively charged in order to get a cation

We know that an atom is neutral as a whole, so we have equal number of electrons and protons

since we cannot mess with the number of protons in an atom, we have to do it by altering the number of electrons

If we reduce the amount of electrons in an atom, the net charge will be positive and hence a cation will be formed
