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.

What is the temperature of a water body containing a 90% saturation and 11.5 ppm of dissolved oxygen?
ozzi
Using the chart that has been provided, we may determine water temperature. We do this by drawing a straight line form the bottom scale which has the ppm of oxygen dissolved to the middle scale which has the percentage saturation.

The line starts from 11.5 ppm on the bottom scale and goes to 90% on the middle scale. Next, we continue this line, without changing its slope, to the third scale showing temperature. We see that it crosses the temperature scale at 4°C.

The temperature of the water is 4 °C.

Realice las siguientes conversiones: a) 72°F a °C, b) 213.8°C a °F, c)180°C a K, d) 315K a °F, e) 1750°F a K, f) 0K a °F.
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

a) 72 °F= 22.22 °C

b)  213.8 °C=  416.84°F

c) 180 °C= 453.15 °K

d) 315 °K=  107.33 °F

e) 1750 °F= 1227.594 °K

f) 0 °K=  -459.67 °F

Explanation:

Para realizar el intercambio de unidades debes tener en cuenta las siguientes conversiones:

  • Fahrenheit a Celsius: C=\frac{F-32}{1.8}
  • Celsius a Fahrenheit: °F= °C*1.8 + 32
  • Celsius a Kelvin: °K= °C + 273.15
  • Kelvin a Fahrenheit: F= (K -273.15)*1.8 + 32
  • Fahrenheit a Kelvin:K=\frac{F-32}{1.8} + 273.15

Entonces se obtiene:

a) 72 °F= \frac{72-32}{1.8}=22.22 °C

b)  213.8 °C= 213.8*1.8 + 32= 416.84°F

c) 180 °C= 180°C + 273.15= 453.15 °K

d) 315 °K= (315 -273.15)*1.8 + 32= 107.33 °F

e) 1750 °F= \frac{1750-32}{1.8} + 273.15= 1227.594 °K

f) 0 °K= (0 -273.15)*1.8 + 32= -459.67 °F

there are 28L of soup in a pot. Marshall serves 400mL in each bowl. If he fills 16 bowls how much soup is left in the pot? in li
Ne4ueva [31]
Total in pot=28 L
400 mL in each bowl
16 bowls filled
1000mL=1L
16 bowls(400mL/1 bowl)=6400mL
6400mL(1L/1000mL)=6.4L
28L-6.4L=21.6 L

The balanced equation shows how sodium chloride reacts with silver nitrate to form sodium nitrate and silver chloride. NaCl + Ag
Verdich [7]
<span>NaCl First calculate the molar mass of NaCl and AgNO3 by looking up the atomic weights of each element used in either compound Sodium = 22.989769 Chlorine = 35.453 Silver = 107.8682 Nitrogen = 14.0067 Oxygen = 15.999 Now multiply the atomic weight of each element by the number of times that element is in each compound and sum the results For NaCl 22.989769 + 35.453 = 58.44277 For AgNO3 107.8682 + 14.0067 + 3 * 15.999 = 169.8719 Now calculate how many moles of each substance by dividing the total mass by the molar mass For NaCl 4.00 g / 58.44277 g/mol = 0.068443 mol For AgNO3 10.00 g / 169.8719 g/mol = 0.058868 Looking at the balanced equation for the reaction, there is a 1 to 1 ratio in molecules for the reaction. Since there is a smaller number of moles of AgNO3 than there is of NaCl, that means that there will be some NaCl unreacted, so the excess reactant is NaCl</span>
