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!~

Hydrogen reacts with 0.771 g of carbon to form 0.90 g of a compound. What is the mass percent of hydrogen in the compound
morpeh [17]
Answer: 14.3%

Explanation: In order to find the mass percent of hydrogen in this compound, you must determine how many grams of hydrogen you'd get in 100 g of compound. 

In your case, you know that an unknown mass of hydrogen reacts with 0.771 g of carbon to form 0.90 g of hydrocarbon, which is a compound that contains only carbon and hydrogen. 

Use the total mass of the hydrocarbon to determine how many grams of hydrogen reacted with the carbon.

Now, if 0.90 g of this compound contain 0.129 g of hydrogen, it follows that 100 g of this compound will contain.

So, if 100 g of this compound contain 14.33 g of hydrogen, it follows that the mass percent of hydrogen is 14.3%

What is the work when a gas expands from 0.666 L to 2.334 L against an external pressure of 2.07 atm?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

work = 3.45 Joules

Explanation:

Work from the 1st Law of Thermodynamics is PΔV in the equation of internal energy => ΔE = ΔH + PΔV.

Therefore, work = PΔV = 2.07atm·(2.334L - 0.666L) = 3.45 L·atm = 3.45 Joules

A solution contains AgNO3 and Ba(NO3)2. What substance could be added to the solution to precipitate Ag+ ions, but leave Ba2+ io
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

It uses sodium nitrate, so that the nitrate group reacts with silver and precipitates as a salt, thus forming silver nitrate

And as for the precipitation of barium, I would use sodium sulfate, since we would use the nitrate group, barium nitrate would form, which is very dangerous and is considered high risk.

Explanation:

All the compounds that we name are reactions where as a product they give salts that are highly complex, where they are solid at room temperature, precipitate and are whitish in color.

These salts so that they precipitate it is important that they are in supersaturation since otherwise they will be in constant dynamism dissolving with the water, since they are soluble in them and the decantation will not be perceived at the naked eye of the human eye.

Calculate the number of moles in 7.04 g of lead (II) nitrate, Pb(NO3)2
MrRa [10]

Answer:

moles Pb(NO₃)₂ ≅ 0.0213 mole (three sig. figs.)

Explanation:

converting...

grams to moles => divide by formula weight

moles to grams => multiply by formula weight

for this problem ...

moles Pb(NO₃)₂ = 7.04g / 331.2g/mol = 0.021256 (calculator answer)

≅ 0.0213 mole (three sig. figs.)

Using fission, what mass m of uranium-235 would be necessary to supply all of the energy that the united states uses in a year,
asambeis [7]
The energy released by 1 atom of Uranium is Q=185.*10^6-25.
The energy needed for U.S. that I will name Q2, in eV is: 1*10^19J* (1eV/(1.602*10^-19))=6.2422*10^37eV

Q=mc^2
Q2=mc^2

m is the mass of Uranium in kg that we calculated at 3.90*10^-25. We need to fund m2 because that is the unknown mass in the equation for Q2 to give us the energy for the U.S. and remember, Q is the energy that 1 atom of Uranium gives out which is why we took a ratio. 


m2=Q2/Q*m=1.3*10^5 kg (final answer)
