The energy discharged at the time of nuclear fusion or fission, mainly when used to produce electricity is known as nuclear energy. Although nuclear energy has become one of the most potent sources of energy in the present time, it also brings some harmful effects along with it, mainly by affecting the surrounding environment like the water bodies present nearby.

Some of the potential problems for the nearby water sources when using nuclear energy are:

1. It contaminates water with radioactive waste.

2. It creates hazardous conditions for the species living in the water.

3. It adds very hot water to cool water environments.

4. It utilizes a resource, which becomes scarce at the time of drought.

What components of an endothermic reaction have a higher heat content

xxTIMURxx [149]

Endothermic reaction is the reaction in which the system absorbs energy. The system absorbs heat and cools the surroundings. Reactants are the substances that are involved in the reaction and at the end of the reaction product are formed.
In the endothermic reaction because heat is absorbed , the products have a higher heat.

Covalent solutes are considered non-electrolytes. What does this mean for the conductivity of the solution? A) Non-electrolytes

iogann1982 [59]

Electrolytes are those which dissociates in solution and produces ions.

Ions can carry current,so Electrolytes conduct electiricity.

And non electrolytes are those which do not dissociate in solution and doesnt produce ions.

Since non electrolytes do not produce ions they cannot conduct electricity.

<u>Hence the right option is:</u>

B) Non-electrolytes dissolve and do not dissociate in water providing no charged ions to conduct electricity.

For a particular redox reaction, Cr is oxidized to CrO 2 − 4 and Ag + is reduced to Ag . Complete and balance the equation for t

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

6Ag⁺ + Cr + 8OH⁻ → 6Ag + CrO₄²⁻ + 4H₂O

Explanation:

We can balance the redox reaction of Cr and Ag⁺, in terms of two half-reactions, one for Ag⁺ and other for Cr:

Ag⁺ → Ag

In the above equation we need to balance the number of electrons, we know that the Ag⁺ is being reduced to Ag, so the reaction is:

Ag⁺ + e⁻ → Ag (1)

Now, we need to balance the half-reaction of Cr:

Cr → CrO₄²⁻

From above, we know that the Cr is being oxidated to CrO₄²⁻, so we need to balance the number of electrons and the number of oxygen atoms. The Cr⁰ is being oxidated to Cr⁶⁺, so for the electron balance, we need to add 6e⁻ to the right side of the equation. Since the reaction is in a basic medium, the oxygen atoms will be balanced with OH⁻ ions as follows:

Cr + OH⁻ → CrO₄²⁻ + 6e⁻

The hydrogen atoms will be balanced using H₂O molecules:

Cr + OH⁻ → CrO₄²⁻ + 6e⁻ + H₂O

The balanced equation is:

Cr + 8OH⁻ → CrO₄²⁻ + 6e⁻ + 4H₂O (2)

Since the reaction (1) involves 1 electron and the reaction (2) involves 6 electrons, by increasing the reaction (1) six times and by the addition of the two reactions (1 and 2) we can have the net redox reaction:

6*(Ag⁺ + e⁻ → Ag)

6Ag⁺ + Cr + 8OH⁻ → 6Ag + CrO₄²⁻ + 4H₂O

Therefore, the net equation is: 6Ag⁺ + Cr + 8OH⁻ → 6Ag + CrO₄²⁻ + 4H₂O.

I hope it helps you!

What is the mass of 1.7 × 1023 atoms of zinc (Zn)?

Rudiy27

Number of moles is defined as the ratio of given mass in g to the molar mass.

The mathematical formula is:

Number of moles = $\frac{given mass in g}{molar mass}$ (1)

Number of zinc atoms is equal to $1.7\times10^{23}$ , by Avogadro number, number of moles can be calculated.

As, 1 mol= $6.022\times10^{23}$ atoms, hence,

$1.7\times10^{23}\times\frac{1 mol}{6.022\times10^{23} }$

= 0.2822 mol

Now, from formula (1), calculate mass in g (molar mass of zinc = 65.4 g/mol)

0.2822 mol = $\frac{mass in g}{65.4 g/mol}$

mass in g = ${0.2822 mol \times 65.4 g/mol$

= 18.45588 g

Thus, by rounding off the above number, it will come near about 19 g approximately.

Hence, option (C) is the correct answer.

Which pair of substances would most likely result in the production of a gas when reacting with an acid?

vovangra [49]

Answer: metal and carbonate

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius concept, a base is defined as a substance which donates hydroxide ions $(OH^-)$ when dissolved in water and an acid is defined as a substance which donates hydrogen ions $(H^+)$ in water.

An acid is represented as :

$HX\rightarrow H^++X^-$

1. When metal is treated with an acid such as $HCl$ , if the metal is more reactive than hydrogen displaces hydrogen from its salt solution and thus produce zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.

$M+xHCl(aq)\rightarrow MCl_x(aq)+xH_2(g)$

2. When carbonates are treated with acid, double displacement takes place ad carbon dioxide is released as a gas.

$MCO_3(aq)+xHCl(aq)\rightarrow MCl_x(aq)+xH_2O(l)+CO_2(g)$
