What methods were used to clean up the Chernobyl and three mile island accidents?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Assoli18 [71]3 years ago
6 0

<u>Answer</u>:

Electric evaporator has been used to clean up the Chernobyl and 3 mile island accident.

<u>Explanation</u>:

About 14 years back, there was a puff of radioactive steam from the evaporator used in the "Three-mile island" nuclear plant. It took two years for the electric evaporator to clean up the 2.2 million gallons of water that have been destroyed because of the nuclear power plant accident.

The steam that came out of the electric evaporator carried a radioactive form of hydrogen and tritium with itself. Cost of clean up was $1 billion.

What is the molality of a solution of water and kcl if the freezing point of the solution is –3mc030-1.jpgc?
Natasha_Volkova [10]
We will use the expression for freezing point depression ∆Tf
     ∆Tf = i Kf m
Since we know that the freezing point of water is 0 degree Celsius, temperature change ∆Tf is 
     ∆Tf = 0C - (-3°C) = 3°C 
and the van't Hoff Factor i is approximately equal to 2 since one molecule of KCl in aqueous solution will produce one K+ ion and  one Cl- ion:
     KCl → K+ + Cl- 
Therefore, the molality m of the solution can be calculated as 
     3 = 2 * 1.86 * m
     m = 3 / (2 * 1.86)
     m = 0.80 molal

How much pressure does an elephant with a mass of 2200 Kg and a total footprint area of 4500 cm2 exert on the ground?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

47911.1 pa

Explanation:

The SI base unit of pressure is pascal, which is N/m^2.

2200 kg is 2200*9.8=21560 N, and 4500 cm^2=4500/10000=0.45 m^2.

So the total pressure exerted on the ground (!!) is 21560/0.45= 47911.1 Pa.

A solution is prepare using 45.2 g of an unknown (nonelectrolyte) dissolved in 476.4 g of water. The freezing point depression
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

94.4g/mol is molar mass of the unknown

Explanation:

Based on the freezing point depression equation:

ΔT = Kf*m*i

<em>Where ΔT is the depression in freezing point (1.87°C)</em>

<em>Kf is freezing point depression constant of water (1.86°Ckg/mol)</em>

<em>And i is Van't Hoff factor (1 for nonelectrolyte solutes)</em>

<em />

Replacing:

1.87°C = 1.86°CKg/mol*m*i

1.005mol/kg solvent = m

Using the mass of the solvent we can find the oles of the nonelectrolyte:

1.005mol/kg solvent * 0.4764kg = 0.479moles

Molar mass is defined as the ratio between mass of a substance in grams and moles, that is:

45.2g / 0.479mol =

<h3>94.4g/mol is molar mass of the unknown</h3>

Determine whether each substance will sink or float in corn syrup, which has a density of 1.36 g/cm3. Write “sink” or “float” in
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Here's what I get

Explanation:

A substance with ρ < 1.36 g/cm⁻³ will float on corn syrup.

A substance with ρ > 1.36 g/cm⁻³ will sink in corn syrup

\begin{array}{rrr}\textbf{Substance} & \mathbf{\rho/g\cdot \textbf{cm}^{-3}}& \textbf{Sink/Float}\\\text{Gasoline} & 0.75 & \text{Float}\\\text{Water} & 1.00 & \text{Float}\\\text{Corn syrup} & 1.36 & -\\\text{Honey} & 1.42 & \text{Sink}\\\text{Titanium} & 4.54 & \text{Sink}\\\end{array}
