Answer:

Waste.

Explanation:

"A major environmental concern related to nuclear power is the creation of radioactive wastes such as uranium mill tailings, spent (used) reactor fuel, and other radioactive wastes. These materials can remain radioactive and dangerous to human health for thousands of years. Radioactive wastes are subject to special regulations that govern their handling, transportation, storage, and disposal to protect human health and the environment. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulates the operation of nuclear power plants."

What salt is formed by the reaction of potassium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid?

Nina [5.8K]

Potassium hydroxide (KOH) is formed when Potassium forms ionic bonds with OH-ions while Potassium Oxide (K2O) is formed when potassium forms ionic bonds with the Oxide (O2-) ions. i.e. This reaction is a neutralization reaction and occurs when an acid (HCl) reacts with a base (KOH).

Positive Deviation from Raoult's Law occurs when the vapour pressure of component is greater than what is expected in Raoult's L

8090 [49]

Answer:

All of the above.

Explanation:

In positive deviation from Raoult's Law occur when the vapour pressure of components is greater than what is expected value in Raoult's law.

When a solution is non ideal then it shows positive or negative deviation.

Let two solutions A and B to form non- ideal solutions.let the vapour pressure of component A is $P_A$ and vapour pressure of component B is $P_B$ .

$P^0_A$ = Vapour pressure of component A in pure form

$P^0_B$ = Vapour pressure of component B in pure form

$x_A$ =Mole fraction of component A

$x_B=$ =Mole fraction of component B

The interaction between A- B is less than the interaction A- A and B-B interaction.Therefore, the escaping tendency of liquid molecules in mixture is greater than the escaping tendency in pure form.Hence, the vapour pressure of a mixture is greater than the initial value of vapour pressure.

$P_A >P^0_A\cdot x_A$ , $P_B>P^0_B\cdot x_B$
