Answer: disposal of radioactive waste

Explanation:

The nuclear wastes are those wastes which are generated in the nuclear power plants during nuclear reactions. These wastes are radioactive and they have the potential to cause deadly mutations in living beings and if they come in contact with the external environment from reactor they can cause explosions. Hence, their disposal is a greatest problem.

What is the mass, in grams, of 7.20×1020 molecules of caffeine, c8h10n4o2?

pickupchik [31]

To determine the mass, you need to know the molecular weight of the c8h10n4o2 . The molecular weight of <span>c8h10n4o2 would be: 8*12 + 10*1 + 4*14 + 2*16= 194g/mol.
To convert the number of molecules into moles, you need to divide it with 6.02 * 10^23. The calculation of the mass of </span>c8h10n4o2 would be:
(7.20×10^20 molecules) /(6.02 * 10^23 molecule/mol) * 194g/mol= 232 * 10^-3 grams= 0.232 grams

The density of mercury is 13.5g/mL. What is the volume of this liquid if the sample weighs 12.5 pounds?

Mama L [17]

Answer : The volume of liquid is 420 mL.

Explanation :

Density : The mass per unit volume of a substance is known as density.

Formula used:

$\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$

As we are given:

Density of mercury = 13.5 g/mL

Mass = 12.5 pounds

First we have to convert mass of sample from pound to gram.

Conversion used:

As, 1 pound = 453.6 g

So, 12.5 pounds = 453.6 × 12.5 g = 5670 g

Now we have to calculate the volume of liquid.

$\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$

Now putting all the given values in this formula, we get:

$13.5g/mL=\frac{5670g}{\text{Volume}}$

Volume = 420 mL

Therefore, the volume of liquid is 420 mL.

Calculate the amount in moles of 125 g of CaSO4.

Leto [7]

Answer:

Number of moles = 0.92 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CaSO₄ = 125 g

Number of moles of CaSO₄ = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass of CaSO₄:

Molar mass of CaSO₄ = 40 + 32+ 16×4

Molar mass of CaSO₄ = 40 + 32+ 64

Molar mass of CaSO₄ = 136 g/mol

Number of moles:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 125 g/ 136 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.92 mol

A sample in the laboratory is found to contain 3.36 grams of hydrogen, 20.00 grams of carbon, and 26.64 grams of oxygen. The mol

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Empirical formula is CH₂O.

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen = 3.36 g

Mass of carbon = 20.00 g

Mass of oxygen = 26.64 g

Molar mass of compound = 180.156 g/mol

Empirical formula = ?

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Empirical formula:

It is the simplest formula gives the ratio of atoms of different elements in small whole number

Number of gram atoms of H = 3.36 / 1.01 = 3.3

Number of gram atoms of O = 26.64 / 16 = 1.7

Number of gram atoms of C = 20 / 12 = 1.7

Atomic ratio:

C : H : O

1.7/1.7 : 3.3/1.7 : 1.7/1.7

1 : 2 : 1

C : H : O = 1 : 2 : 1

Empirical formula is CH₂O.

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass = CH₂O = 12×1 + 2× + 16

Empirical formula mass = 30

n = 180.156 / 30

n = 6

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 6 (CH₂O)

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆
