Unstable Isotopes, Source of Thermal Energy, Poses Health Problems. 
Margaret [11]4 years ago
3 0

Ans: unstable isotopes

        source of thermal energy

        poses health problems

A nuclear power plant generates nuclear energy which is a non-renewable resource. Essentially a heavy unstable radioisotope splits in a nuclear reactor and generates large amounts of heat. Hence a nuclear power plant is a source of thermal energy.

The fissionable material in a reactors core is usually a radioisotope like Uranium(U-235). The splitting of the uranium nucleus also generates other radioactive fission products, which might leak into the surroundings in case of any accidents. Hence, nuclear reactors pose health problems.

What is the [H+] of a solution with a pH of 3? Use a scientific calculator.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

1 x 10⁻³.

Explanation:

∵ pH = - log[H⁺]

3 = - log[H⁺].

log[H⁺] = -3.

∴ [H⁺] = 1 x 10⁻³.

A gas cylinder of volume 5.00 l contains 1.00 g of ar and 0.500 g of ne. the temperature is 275 k. find the partial pressure of
amid [387]
<span>11.3 kPa The ideal gas law is PV = nRT where P = Pressure V = Volume n = number of moles R = Ideal gas constant (8.3144598 L*kPa/(K*mol) ) T = Absolute temperature We have everything except moles and volume. But we can calculate moles by starting with the atomic weight of argon and neon. Atomic weight argon = 39.948 Atomic weight neon = 20.1797 Moles Ar = 1.00 g / 39.948 g/mol = 0.025032542 mol Moles Ne = 0.500 g / 20.1797 g/mol = 0.024777375 mol Total moles gas particles = 0.025032542 mol + 0.024777375 mol = 0.049809918 mol Now take the ideal gas equation and solve for P, then substitute known values and solve. PV = nRT P = nRT/V P = 0.049809918 mol * 8.3144598 L*kPa/(K*mol) * 275 K/5.00 L P = 113.8892033 L*kPa / 5.00 L P = 22.77784066 kPa Now let's determine the percent of pressure provided by neon by calculating the percentage of neon atoms. Divide the number of moles of neon by the total number of moles. 0.024777375 mol / 0.049809918 mol = 0.497438592 Now multiply by the pressure 0.497438592 * 22.77784066 kPa = 11.33057699 kPa Round the result to 3 significant figures, giving 11.3 kPa</span>

The following reaction is at equilibrium in a sealed container.
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

D.Lowering the temperature is the best option.

Explanation:

The value of equilibrium constants aren't changed with change in the pressure or concentrations of reactants and products in equilibrium. The only thing that changes the value of equilibrium constant is a change of temperature.

In the reaction below for example;

A + B <==>C+D

If you have moved the position of the equilibrium to the right (and so increased the amount of C and D), why hasn't the equilibrium constant increased?

Let's assume that the equilibrium constant mustn't change if you decrease the concentration of C - because equilibrium constants are constant at constant temperature. Why does the position of equilibrium move as it does?

If you decrease the concentration or pressure of C, the top of the Kc expression gets smaller. That would change the value of Kc. In order for that not to happen, the concentrations of C and D will have to increase again, and those of A and B must decrease. That happens until a new balance is reached when the value of the equilibrium constant expression reverts to what it was before.

The specific heat of aluminum is 0.214 cal/g.oC. Determine the energy, in calories, necessary to raise the temperature of a 55.5
Natasha2012 [34]
For this problem, we use the formula for sensible heat which is written below:

Q= mCpΔT
where Q is the energy
Cp is the specific heat capacity
ΔT is the temperature difference

Q = (55.5 g)(<span>0.214 cal/g</span>·°C)(48.6°C- 23°C)
<em>Q = 304.05 cal</em>
