Nuclear power produces more toxic mercury than coal-burning power plants do. True Or False?

Chemistry

Answer: True  

Explanation:

Nuclear power plant produces energy by fission or fusion reactions occurring in the nuclear reactor. The energy is harnessed by the heavy metal atom nuclei like uranium. The nuclear power plant produces radioactive wastes.  It does not produce toxic substances and greenhouse gases.

The coal is a fossil fuel, which when burned generates energy in the form of heat. But it also generates pollutant toxic and gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, toxic metals elements such as arsenic, mercury and cadmium.  

The quantity and concentration of a mercury released by the nuclear power plant is more than the coal burning plant. Also it is released in the form of radioactive wastes. Thus capable of causing direct hazardous damages such as deadly mutation in the genome. The mercury toxicity by coal power plant will result in gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases.

What are some advantages and disadvantages to the acid rain management techniques?
mr_godi [17]
Disadvantages of acid rain:
• Acid rain affects the fresh water ponds and lakes and destroys the aquatic life as some species of fishes are rare and may be extinct
• it can affect the trees particularly those that are high altitude
• It can damage historical monuments and buildings
•soil can be affected and can lead to deaths of good microbes

Advantages of acid rain:
• it makes holes in limestone below ground, which creates caves and places to store groundwater, as well as providing habitat for some species
• But the new study shows that sulfuric in acid may have benefits, limiting global warming by counteracting the natural production of methane gases by microbes in wetland areas.

Of course you should do more studying on acid rain but these are the simple ones

The rate constant for this second‑order reaction is 0.610 M − 1 ⋅ s − 1 0.610 M−1⋅s−1 at 300 ∘ C. 300 ∘C. A ⟶ products A⟶product
Darya [45]

Answer: It takes 3.120 seconds for the concentration of  A to decrease from 0.860 M to 0.260 M.

Explanation:

Integrated rate law for second order kinetics is given by:

\frac{1}{a}=kt+\frac{1}{a_0}

k = rate constant = 0.610M^{-1}s^{-1}

a_0 = initial concentration = 0.860 M

a= concentration left after time t = 0.260 M

\frac{1}{0.260}=0.860\times t+\frac{1}{0.860}

t=3.120s

Thus it takes 3.120 seconds for the concentration of  A to decrease from 0.860 M to 0.260 M.
