Answer:

a. 82.68 g b. 9.8 min

Explanation:

a. The amount of gold deposited by 5 A current in 2 hrs 15 mins

Since charge Q = It where I = current = 5 A and time = 2 hrs 15 mins = 2 × 60 min + 15 min = 120 + 15 min = 135 min = 135 × 60 s = 8100 s

Q = 5 A × 8100 s

= 40500 C

Also, Q = nF where n = number of moles of gold deposited and F = Faraday's constant = 96500 C

n = Q/F = 40500 C/96500 C = 0.4195 moles ≅ 0.42 mole

Now n = m/M where m = mass of gold and M = molar mass of gold = 197

m = nM

= 0.42 × 197 g

= 82.68 g

b. The time taken for 6g of gold to be deposited.

We first find the number of moles of gold in 6g of gold

Since n = m/M and m = 6 g

n = 6/197 = 0.0305 mole

Q = It = nF

t = nF/I

= 0.0305 mol × 96500 C/5 A

= 2939.09 mol C

= 587.82 s

Changing t to minutes

587.82/60 s = 9.8 min

What must happen to uranium before it can be used as a fuel source?
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Uranium must be purified before it is used as a fuel source

Explanation:

The purer the uranium sample, the more the concentration of uranium in the fuel is.

Whenever uranium is extracted from nature, it contains a lot of impurities. Only a few special nuclear reactors can utilize uranium in this raw state. most of the others have to get uranium to become about 3% pure before they begin using it.

To do this, uranium has to be passed through a series of chemical reactions all with the aim of extracting the other compounds that may be present in the fuel.

Suppose you want to create a 6 ng/μL solution in a 25 mL volumetric flask. However, this concentration cannot really be accurate
Over [174]

Answer:

Mass of chemical = 1.5 mg

Explanation:

Step 1: First calculate the concentration of the stock solution required to make the final solution.

Using C1V1 = C2V2

C1 = concentration of the stock solution; V1 = volume of stock solution; C2 = concentration of final solution; V2 = volume of final solution

C1 = C2V2/V1

C1 = (6 * 25)/ 0.1

C1 = 1500 ng/μL = 1.5 μg/μL

Step 2: Mass of chemical added:

Mass of sample = concentration * volume

Concentration of stock = 1.5 μg/μL; volume of stock = 10 mL = 10^6 μL

Mass of stock = 1.5 μg/μL * 10^6 μL = 1.5 * 10^6 μg = 1.5 mg

Therefore, mass of sample = 1.5 mg
