During a nuclear reaction, fuel rods generate a tremendous amount of heat. ... Problems cooling these pools have officials worried that the spent rods could ... appear to be related to one or more of the spent fuel storage pools at the plant. ... These fission byproducts are also very radioactive.

does that kind of help a little?

Answer:

They are scheduled for deep underground burial

Explanation:

Honestly none of these answers are correct in a sense.

They are no longer radioactive - This one is absolutely false since spent fuel rods remain dangerously radioactive for about for about 10,000 years

They contain only one type of isotope of the fuel (uranium) - There will be some 235 isotopes as well as some 238. Other isotopes might be present as well but only in very small amounts.

They usually remain radioactive for less than 100 years - As mentioned above, spent fuel rods remain dangerously radioactive for about 10,000 years.

They are scheduled for deep underground burial - This answer is probably the best as it it somewhat true. In the 1980's there was a plan launched by the federal government to bury spent fuel below Yucca Mountain in Nevada. However, this project was later called off to think of a better means of containment.

However...

Scandinavia and Finland have already approved an approach known as "deep storage" and have already begun to work on their own sites.

~Hope this helps!~

The formation of protons over neutrons (thus producing about a 7:1 ratio) was favored in the early universe because:____.
tatiyna

Because it requires more energy to create a neutron from a proton than it does to create a proton from a neutron, protons were formed more frequently than neutrons in the early universe. The correct answer is option b.

To find the answer, we need to know more about the early universe.

<h3>How the formation of proton over neutrons was favored in the early universe?</h3>
  • A neutron is produced with greater energy than a proton.
  • However, later on, some of the protons were changed into neutrons.
  • Contrary to some claims, the proton is a stable particle that never decays, but the neutron is unstable outside of the nucleus and decays with a half life of around 10.5 minutes.
  • However, very few would have had time to decay on the timeline you mention in your question.
  • Every matter particle should have been accompanied by an antimatter particle, and every proton, neutron, and electron, by an anti-neutron and a positron, respectively.
  • Where did all the antimatter go is the great mystery. There have been a few attempts to explain this, but they have failed.

Thus, we can conclude that, the correct answer is option b.

A system fitted with a piston expands when it absorbs 53.1 ) of heat from the surroundings. The piston is working against a pres
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

d. 60.8 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Heat absorbed (Q): 53.1 J
  • External pressure (P): 0.677 atm
  • Final volume (V2): 63.2 L
  • Change in the internal energy (ΔU): -108.3 J

Step 2: Calculate the work (W) done by the system

We will use the following expression.

ΔU = Q + W

W = ΔU - Q

W = -108.3 J - 53.1 J = -161.4 J

Step 3: Convert W to atm.L

We will use the conversion factor 1 atm.L = 101.325 J.

-161.4 J ×  1 atm.L/101.325 J = -1.593 atm.L

Step 4: Calculate the initial volume

First, we will use the following expression.

W = - P × ΔV

ΔV = - W / P

ΔV = - 1.593 atm.L / 0.677 atm = 2.35 L

The initial volume is:

V2 = V1 + ΔV

V1 = V2 - ΔV

V1 = 63.2 L - 2.35 L = 60.8 L

How many atoms will there be in 5.00 g of gold. (Use ^ to show the exponent in scientific notation. For example, 4 X 1011 should
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

1.53x10^22 atoms of Au

Explanation:

To find the atoms of gold we need first, to convert the mass of gold to moles using molar mass of gold (196.97g/mol). Then, these moles must be converted to number of atoms based on definition of moles (1 mole = 6.022x10²³ atoms).

<em>Moles Au:</em>

5.00g Au * (1mol / 196.97g) = 0.0254 moles of Au

<em>Atoms of Au:</em>

0.0254 moles * (6.022x10²³ atoms / 1 mole) =

<h3>1.53x10^22 atoms of Au</h3>
