What property of radioactive nuclear waste makes it so difficult to dispose responsibility?

1 answer:

7 0

Radioactive waste, as its name implies, is a source of radiation that can be harmful to living organisms. Therefore it needs to be disposed of very carefully in such a way that the radiation cannot reach human beings and other living organisms. One method to do this is to bury the waste in deep pits.

What information do latitude and longitude provide

mina [271]

Answer:

Latitude and longitude are imaginary lines that help us label every place on the surface of the earth. The most important line of latitude is the equator, which runs horizontally around the fattest part of the earth.

Please help me, I really don't want to fail but I don't know how to do this

12 moles

Explanation:

$NH_{3}(g) + O_{2}(g) \: → NO_{2} + H_{2}O(g)$

__↑______↑

8.00 mol | 14.00 mol

________________

$NH_{3}(g) + O_{2}(g) \: → NO_{2} + H_{2}O(g)$

You can turn this into a system of variables which are solvable.

To do this, create variables for the coefficients of each compound in the reaction respectively.

$a(NH_{3}(g)) + b(O_{2}(g)) → \\c(NO_{2}) + d(H_{2}O(g))$

Because to be balanced, the count of atoms in each element of the compound correspond to the coefficient of the variable in that compound so that the count of the left (reactant) side is set equal to the right (product) side.

a corresponds to the coefficient of the first compound, b corresponds to the coefficient of the second compound, c corresponds to the coefficient of the third compound, and d corresponds to the coefficient of the fourth compound.

(Reactant = Product)

Reactant: 1a [N] Product: 1c.

Reactant: 3a [H] Product: 2d.

Reactant: 2b [O] Product: 2c + 1d.

Thus the system is:

1a = 1c

3a = 2d

2b = 2c + 1d.

Then just use the substitution methods to solve.

Predict the precipitate produced by mixing an Al(NO3)3 solution with a NaOH solution. Write the net ionic equation for the react

weqwewe [10]

Al(NO3)3(aq) + 3NaOH(s) --> Al(OH)3 (s) + 3NaNO3 (aq)

The precipitate here is Al(OH)3 (s), since the solid reactant is the precipitate in the aqueous solution. Usually, it is okay to assume in basic chemistry that the transition metal is going to be part of the compound that is the precipitate, especially in an acidic salt and a strong base reaction that we have here.
