<u>Advantages of Nuclear Fission</u>

  • Nuclear fission provides cheapest energy . Almost 10% of electricity used in the world is obtained from the fission reaction
  • It offers a low-emission energy solution since there is no carbon dioxide gas emitted during the  nuclear fission reaction
  • A well controlled and maintained nuclear reactor can produce energy for 36 to 40 months so works for .
  • It is a reliable source of energy as energy is obtained from uranium which is available is plenty.
  • It provides very concentrations of energy as it can provide large amount of energy from small amount of fuel.
  • The reaction gives less annual mortality rate of any energy resource with 90 deaths per trillion kilowatt hours

<u>Disadvantages of Nuclear Fission </u>

  • It is dangerous and  also explosive.
  • It creates harmful and radioactive waste products.
  • It is not a renewable energy resource like solar and wind energy
  • It can develop long-term health issues for people exposed to then radioactive waves.
  • It involves high cost in installation of the reactors.

An endothermic dissolution process a. absorbs energy as heat and has positive enthalpy of solution. b. releases energy as heat a
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

a. absorbs energy as heat and has positive enthalpy of solution.

Explanation:

A reaction can either be exothermic or endothermic. An endothermic reaction, as the dissolution described in the question, is that which absorbs heat energy from the surroundings in order to start the reaction.

Because an endothermic reaction makes heat lost from the surroundings, the enthalpy (∆H) of the solution will be positive (+). ∆H is got by finding the difference between the enthalpy of the reactants and products and since the enthalpy of a product in endothermic reaction is more, the enthalpy change (∆T) will be positive.

What two atoms are held together by a covalent bond in NaHCO3
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: covalent bond is the force of attraction that holds together two atoms that share a pair of valence electrons. Covalent bonds form only between atoms of nonmetals. The two atoms that are held together in a covalent bond may be atoms of the same element or different elements.

A 96.0 ml volume of 0.25 m hbr is titrated with 0.50 m koh. calculate the ph after addition of 48.0 ml of koh at 25 ∘c.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
KOH is a strong base and HBr is a strong acid and completely dissociates.
The balanced equation for the reaction is;
KOH + HBr ---> KBr + H₂O
Stoichiometry of acid to base is 1:1
The number of KOH moles reacted - 0.50 M / 1000 mL/L x 48.0 mL = 0.024 mol
number of HBr moles reacted - 0.25 M/ 1000 mL/L x 96.0 mL  = 0.024 mol
the number of H⁺ ions are equal to number of OH⁻ ions. 
Then the solution is neutral.
pH of neutral solutions at 25 °C is 7. 
Therefore pH is 7
