Answer: The correct answer is "The waste emits harmful radiation for a long time".

Explanation:

Nuclear fission: The nuclear energy is generated from the splitting of uranium atom. Here, Uranium is a radioactive material.

Nuclear reactor controls the release of energy.

The by product of the nuclear generation is the radioactive waste in the nuclear power plant. The radioactive material emits harmful radiation. Some industries throw their radioactive waste material in river. It would be harmful for marine life.

The radioactive material emits harmful radiation. If there is any leakage in the power plant. It could cause cancer, skin burn and birth defect to the employees who are working in the nuclear power plant.

Therefore, the true statement is "The waste emits harmful radiation for a long time".

Answer:

Granite

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of a substance, which is denoted by "c", is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a particular mass of that substance by 1°C. It is calculated as follows:

c = Q ÷ m∆T

Where;

c = specific heat capacity

Q = amount of heat (J)

m = mass of substance

∆T = change in temperature.

According to this equation and explanation above, a low specific heat capacity means that the rate at which the temperature is raised is slow and vice versa. Hence, from this question, GRANITE with specific capacity of 0.790 J/gK will raise temperature the slowest.

A mixture is made by combining 1.62 lb of salt and 5.20 lb of water.
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

23.8

Explanation:

Formula

weight % = weight of solute/ weight of solution x 100

weight of solution = weight of salt + weight of water

weight of solution = 1.62 lb + 5.20 lb = 6.82 lb

weight % = 1.62 / 6,82 x 100

weight % = 0.238 x 100

weight % = 23.8
