6 0

Answer:

<u>uranium-235 and plutonium-239</u>

Explanation:

  • This fuel is mostly used in nuclear reactors to sustain a nuclear chain reaction. Being a radioactive substance used in heating water in turbines to produce fission where atoms are split into smaller particle sizes, and the center of the reactor is the core, which contains uranium fuel.
  • This fuel can be used with some forms of alloy, metals, and oxides. Unlike fossil fuels, nuclear fuel doesn't tend to produce carbon dioxide and sulfur oxides due to the radioactivity.
  • Most of the radioactive material has certain issues and hence significant issues of incidence can take place.

What mass of sodium hydroxide is needed to neutralise 24.5kg of sulfuric acid <br> H2SO4 + N2 = 2NH3
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

23.92 g

Explanation:

Molar mass of H2SO4 = (2×1)+32+(16×4)= 2+32+48= 82g/mol

H2SO4 + 2NaOH ---> Na2SO4 + 2H2O

I mole of H2SO4 = 2 moles of NaOH

24.5/82 = 24.5/82 × 2

= 0.598 moles of NaOH will neutralize

Mass= mole× molar mass

Molar mass of NaOH= 23+16+1 = 40g/mol

Mass= 0.598 × 40 = 23.92g of NaOH

How many grams are in 2.5 moles of Carbon
Jet001 [13]
According to the periodic table, carbon's molar mass is 12.011 grams per mole (that's the small number under the element).  So, just multiply like this to get the answer:

(2.5\ mol\ C)(\frac{grams\ C}{12.011\ mol\ C})=0.20814\ g\ C

So, there are approximately 0.208 grams in 2.5 moles of carbon.
