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 are groups 1, 2, and 3 examples of on the periodic table? A. Nonmetals B. Metals C. Noble gases D. Metalloids

tankabanditka [31]

The correct answer is:

Metals

They are all alkali and transition metals

Explanation:

The periodic table includes elements clustered into groups with comparable properties. Alkali metals are reactive, soft metals with low densities. Transition metals are unreactive metals that have many have common uses. Halogens are reactive non-metals that form glowing vapors.

Answer:

Cells are extremely small.

Explanation:

As Mendel describes in this story, cells are so small they cannot normally be seen with the naked eye. ... The total organism remains the same throughout this process, and (usually) has a longer time on earth than any one of its cells.

Determine the rate law, including the values of the orders and rate law constant, for the following reaction using the experimen

olga55 [171]

Answer: Rate law= $k[A]^1[B]^2$ , order with respect to A is 1, order with respect to B is 2 and total order is 3. Rate law constant is $3L^2mol^{-2}s^{-1}$

Explanation: Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

$Rate=k[A]^x[B]^y$

k= rate constant

x = order with respect to A

y = order with respect to A

n = x+y = Total order

a) From trial 1: $1.2\times 10^{-2}=k[0.10]^x[0.20]^y$ (1)

From trial 2: $4.8\times 10^{-2}=k[0.10]^x[0.40]^y$ (2)

Dividing 2 by 1 : $\frac{4.8\times 10^{-2}}{1.2\times 10^{-2}}=\frac{k[0.10]^x[0.40]^y}{k[0.10]^x[0.20]^y}$

$4=2^y,2^2=2^y$ therefore y=2.

b) From trial 2: $4.8\times 10^{-2}=k[0.10]^x[0.40]^y$ (3)

From trial 3: $9.6\times 10^{-2}=k[0.20]^x[0.40]^y$ (4)

Dividing 4 by 3: $\frac{9.6\times 10^{-2}}{4.8\times 10^{-2}}=\frac{k[0.20]^x[0.40]^y}{k[0.10]^x[0.40]^y}$

$2=2^x,2=2^1$ , x=1

Thus rate law is $Rate=k[A]^1[B]^2$

Thus order with respect to A is 1 , order with respect to B is 2 and total order is 1+2=3.

c) For calculating k:

Using trial 1: $1.2\times 10^{-2}=k[0.10]^1[0.20]^2$

$k=3 L^2mol^{-2}s^{-1}$ .

Carbonic acid reacts with water to yield bicarbonate ions and hydronium ions: h2co3+h2o?hco3?+h3o+ identify the conjugate acid-b

Levart [38]

Conjugate base pairs are acid and bases having common features. These features are the equal gain or loss of protons of the pairs. Conjugate pairs should always be one base and one acid. One would not exist without the other. Conjugate acids are the substances that gains protons while conjugates bases are those that loses protons. The substances in the equilibrium reaction that is given is identified as follows:
HCO3^- + H2O <-----> CO3^2- + H3O^+
acid base conjugate base conjugate acid

HCO3^- ion is an intermediate molecule of CO2 and CO3^2-. When we add OH- to HCO3^-, we produce CO3^2-. And when we add H+ to HCO3, we produce CO2.
