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.

1) How much water must be added to 500.mL of 0.200 M HCI to produce a 0.150M solution?
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

1)

(500.mL)(.200M)/.150M = 667 mL

667mL - 500mL = 167mL of water is needed

2)

1.0 L = 1000mL

M1 V1 = M2 V2

(1.6 mol/L) (175 mL) = (x)(1000mL)

x = .28M

.) Neon and HF have approximately the same molecular masses. a.)Explain why the boiling points of Neon and HF differ b.)Compare
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

a) The magnitude of intermolecular forces in compounds affects the boiling points of the compound. Neon has London dispersion forces as the only intermolecular forces operating in the substance while HF has dipole dipole interaction and strong hydrogen bonds operating in the molecule hence HF exhibits a much higher boiling point than Ne though they have similar molecular masses.

b) The boiling points of the halogen halides are much higher than that of the noble gases because the halogen halides have much higher molecular masses and stronger intermolecular forces between molecules compared to the noble gases.

Also, the change in boiling point of the hydrogen halides is much more marked(decreases rapidly)  due to decrease in the magnitude of hydrogen bonding from HF to HI. The boiling point of the noble gases increases rapidly down the group as the molecular mass of the gases increases.

Ok so I have 3 beakers of clear liquid each holding a different substance, Water, Magnesium Sulphate and Sodium Carbonate how ca
nataly862011 [7]
For water you could add oil..ex: cooking oil separates form water because water is heavier than oil.

For Magnesium Sulfate you could add Sodium Carbonate..ex: Sodium Carb reacts to Mg Sulfate adding a darker hue to the liquid and adding a lot of bubbles.

For Sodium Carbonate you could add Sulfuric Acid..ex: Sulfuric Acid would add a reaction to the Sodium Carb that would resembling water boiling
