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!~

In an isothermal gas chromatography experiment using an ECD detector, 1.69 nmols of nchlorohexane, C6H13Cl, was added as an inte
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The amount of Chlorodecane in the unknown is 0.105nmols

Explanation:

a) Since the GC is in an isothermal state, Chlorohexane C6H13Cl (1.69 nmols) because of its lower boiling point will elute first and Chlorodecane C12H21Cl will elute second.

The area of the first peak corresponding to Chlorohexane is 32434 units.

The area of the second peak corresponding to chlorodecane is 2022 units.

Since the response factor of the compound is not given in question and considering the response factor is same for both the compounds, the answer will be as follow:

1.69 nmols of Chlorohexane gives 32434 units

How much of chlorodecane gives 2022 units

By cross multiplication;

Moles of Chlorodecane = 2022*1.69/32434

                                         =0.105nmols

What sequence of enzymes allows for the synthesis of glycogen from glucose-6-phosphate?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The answer is (e) : phosphoglucomutase, UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, glycogen synthase then amylo-(1,4-1,6)-transglycosylase.

Explanation:

Phosphoglucomutase: Convert glucose-6-phosphate to glucose-1-phosphate.

UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase:  Form UDP-glucose from glucose-1-phosphate.

Glycogen synthase: Add the new glucose from UDP-glucose to the growing glycogen chain.

Amylo-(1,4-1,6)-transglycosylase: This is a branching enzyme, it initiates formation of branches evolving from the main chain.
