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.

kykrilka [37]

B. Argon's vibrational energy is not excited by infrared radiation.

Explanation:

The property of carbon dioxide to get excited by infrared electromagnetic radiation is what qualifies it as a greenhouse gas. When infrared from the earth's surface is reflecting back to space, some of the radiation is absorbed and remitted by the carbon-dioxide molecules in the atmosphere. This causes a phenomenon called greenhouse effect that causes the atmosphere to be relatively warmer. The more the carbon dioxide molecules the more the greenhouse effect.

when propene gas (C3H6) is added to bromine liquid, another liquid is produced which has the formula C3H6Br2. what is the chemic
klio [65]

Answer:

C3H6 + Br2 → C3H6Br2

Explanation:

The reaction in which C3H6Br2 (1,2-Dibromopropane) is created is:

  • C3H6 + Br2 → C3H6Br2

We can see that the only difference between the product (C3H6Br2) and the known reactant (C3H6) of the reaction is two bromine atoms (Br2). Br2 is diatomic bromine - a molecule we get after combining two bromine atoms. This compound is a red-brown liquid at room temperature, which means that that is the liquid described in your question.
