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.

Use the portion of the periodic table shown below to answer the questions.
Basile [38]
Part 1: Potassium, and Rubidium.
Part 2: Calcium has 20 protons and 20 electrons because the atomic number for calcium is 20 and that determines how many protons there are and in an atom, the number of protons is the same number of electrons. Calcium has about 20 neutrons. I got the number of Neutrons by subtracting the mass number(40.078) and the atomic number(20), I got 20.078. Round to the nearest whole number because you cannot have half or partial neutron. So, Calcium has 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 20 neutrons,

A sample of gas contains 0.1800 mol of CO(g) and 0.1800 mol of NO(g) and occupies a volume of 23.2 L. The following reaction tak
baherus [9]

Answer:

The volume of the sample is 17.4L

Explanation:

The reaction that occurs requires the same amount of CO and NO. As the moles added of both reactants are the same you don't have any limiting reactant. The only thing we need is the reaction where 4 moles of gases (2mol CO + 2mol NO) produce 3 moles of gases (2mol CO2 + 1mol N2). The moles produced are:

0.1800mol + 0.1800mol reactants =

0.3600mol reactant * (3mol products / 4mol reactants) = 0.2700 moles products.

Using Avogadro's law (States the moles of a gas are directly proportional to its pressure under constant temperature and pressure) we can find the volume of the products:

V1n2 = V2n1

<em>Where V is volume and n moles of 1, initial state and 2, final state of the gas</em>

Replacing:

V1 = 23.2L

n2 = 0.2700 moles

V2 = ??

n1 = 0.3600 moles

23.2L*0.2700mol = V2*0.3600moles

17.4L = V2

<h3>The volume of the sample is 17.4L</h3>

How are the energy and wavelength of electromag<br> netic radiation related?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy that is produced by oscillating electric and magnetic disturbance, or by the movement of electrically charged particles traveling through a vacuum or matter. The electric and magnetic fields come at right angles to each other and combined wave moves perpendicular to both magnetic and electric oscillating fields thus the disturbance. Electron radiation is released as photons, which are bundles of light energy that travel at the speed of light as quantized harmonic waves. This energy is then grouped into categories based on its wavelength into the electromagnetic spectrum. These electric and magnetic waves travel perpendicular to each other and have certain characteristics, including amplitude, wavelength, and frequency.

General Properties of all electromagnetic radiation:

Electromagnetic radiation can travel through empty space. Most other types of waves must travel through some sort of substance. For example, sound waves need either a gas, solid, or liquid to pass through in order to be heard.

The speed of light is always a constant. (Speed of light : 2.99792458 x 108 m s-1)

Wavelengths are measured between the distances of either crests or troughs. It is usually characterized by the Greek symbol  λ .

Using the equation
o-na [289]

Answer:

13.36

first you have to convert the grams of nitrogen into moles when you got the moles of nitrogen. Then 2 moles of ammonia react with 1 mole nitrogen you have doubled the nitrogen mole and then convert the moles into the grams of ammonia.

use this formula for that:

moles = gram/molar mass
