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 ratio of nitrogen and hydrogen molecules would result in no left-over reactants? Explain your answer.
madam [21]

A ration, Nitrogen to Hydrogen, of 1 : 3 would result in no left-over reactants

Explanation:

This is because Nitrogen and Hydrogen would react to form ammonia as shown in the following reaction below;

N₂ (g) + 3H₂ (g) → 2NH₃ (g)

For every mole of Nitrogen gas, you would require 3 moles of Hydrogen gas. This way they would react to form Ammonia with no leftover reactants.

The atmospheric pressure in Francisco on ascertain day was 97.6kpa what was the pressure on mmhg
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

732.0601 mmHg

Explanation:

Given data:

Pressure = 97.6 KPa

Given pressure in mmHg = ?

Solution:

Kilo pascal and millimeter mercury both are units of pressure.

Kilo pascal is denoted as "KPa"

Millimeter mercury is denoted as " mmHg"

Kilo pascal is measure of force per unit area while also define as newton per meter square.

It is manometric unit of pressure. It is the pressure generated by column of mercury one millimeter high.

Conversation of kilopascal to mmHg:

97.6 × 7.501 = 732.0601 mmHg
