Nuclear power doesn't directly emit greenhouse gases, but it does leave behind dangerous nuclear _______.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Aleksandr-060686 [28]3 years ago
4 0

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."

How can we separate the components of a compound?
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

A mixture is a physical combination of substances thus it only requires physical processes to separate. However, a compound is chemically combined and can only be separated by chemical processes. Therefore, it is much harder to separate a compound than a mixture.

Mila [183]
This problem is to use the Claussius-Clapeyron Equation, which is:

ln [p2 / p1] = ΔH/R [1/T2 - 1/T1]

Where p2 and p1 and vapor pressure at estates 2 and 1

ΔH is the enthalpy of vaporization

R is the universal constant of gases = 8.314 J / mol*K

T2 and T1 are the temperatures at the estates 2 and 1.

The  normal boiling point => 1 atm (the pressure of the atmosphere at sea level) = 101,325 kPa

Then p2 = 101.325 kPa
T2 = ?
p1 = 54.0 kPa
T1 = 57.8 °C + 273.15K = 330.95 K
ΔH = 33.05 kJ/mol = 33,050 J/mol 

=> ln [101.325/54.0] = [ (33,050 J/mol) / (8.314 J/mol*K) ] * [1/x - 1/330.95]

=> 0.629349 = 3975.22 [1/x - 1/330.95] = > 1/x =  0.000157 + 1/330.95 = 0.003179

=> x = 314.6 K => 314.6 - 273.15 = 41.5°C

Answer: 41.5 °C

How does nuclear fission of Uranium - 234 result in electricity being generated?
nevsk [136]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The use of Uranium - 234 to generate electricity depends on a fission reaction. The uranium nuclide is bombarded by fast moving neutrons leading to a chain reaction. Control rods and moderators are used to keep the nuclear reaction under control.

As the nuclear reaction proceeds, heat is generated and steam is consequently produced. This steam is used to turn a turbine and electricity is thereby generated.
