Answer:

The wind energy and solar energy have their own benefits when producing electricity but one of their major drawbacks is that both these energy form depends on the environmental conditions and cannot be stored.

On the other hand, in hydroelectric pumped storage, water is stored in the form of gravitational potential energy. If not enough water is there to produce electricity, then this stored water can be run over turbines to produce electricity. Hence, this is one benefit of hydroelectric pumped storage over wind and solar energy.

Calculate the concentration of the following solution in mol/dm3 0.1 moles of NaCl in 200 cm3
taurus [48]
1 cm ^{3} = 0.001 dm ^{3}. Therefore 200 cm ^{3} = 0.2 dm ^{3}. Molarity = \frac{number of moles of NaCl}{volume of the solution} =  \frac{0.1}{0.2} = 0.5 mol/dm^{3}. Hope this helps.

Some radioactive nuclides have very short half-lives, for example, I-31 has a half-life of approximately 8 days. Pu-234, by comp
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Here's what I find.

Explanation:

Iodine-131

Iodine-131 is both a beta emitter and a gamma emitter.

_{53}^{131}\text{I}\longrightarrow \, _{54}^{131}\text{Xe} +\, _{-1}^{0}\text{e} +\, _{0}^{0}\gamma

About 90 % of the energy is β-radiation and 10 % is γ-radiation. Both forms are highly energetic.

The main danger is from ingestion. The iodine concentrates in thyroid gland, where the β-radiation destroys cells up to 2 mm from the tissues that absorbed it.

Both the β- and γ-radiation cause cell mutations that can later become cancerous. Small doses, such as those absorbed from the nuclear disasters in the Ukraine and Japan, can cause cancers years after the original iodine has disappeared.

Plutonium-239

Plutonium-239 is an alpha emitter.

_{94}^{239}\text{U} \longrightarrow \, _{92}^{235}\text{Xe} + \, _{2}^{4}\text{He}

Alpha particles cannot penetrate the skin, so external exposure isn't much of a health risk.

However, they are extremely dangerous when they are inhaled and get inside cells. They travel first to the blood or lymph system and later to the bone marrow and liver, where they cause up to 1000 times more chromosomal damage than beta or gamma rays.

It takes about 20 years for plutonium to be eliminated from the liver around 50 years for from the skeleton, so it has a long time to cause damage.

Please help on 44. /45./ 46./47,
Aleonysh [2.5K]
The only one that I can do without google is 47. Sorry that I can't answer the others. The answer to 47 is this: you know that the western side of the hill has the steepest slope because the ovals showing altitude are way closer together. The closer the circles/ovals are, the steeper the slope is.

Sorry if this doesn't help much, but I answered what I could without cheating.
