Answer is: encasing nuclear waste in containers that are then taken to remote locations.

Nuclear (radioactive) waste is hazardous to all forms of life and the environment.

Long term storage of radioactive waste is needed. It is important the stabilization of the waste into a form which will neither react nor degrade over many years.

If nuclear waste is wasted in atmosphere or into oceans and lagre lakes, eventually it will come in contact with living organisms.

The volume of a gas is 450 mL when its pressure is 1.00 atm. If the temperature of the gas does not change, what is the

Answer: 0.225 atm

Explanation:

For this problem, we have to use Boyle's Law.

Boyle's Law: P₁V₁=P₂V₂

Since we are asked to find P₂, let's manipulate the equation.

P₂=(P₁V₁)/V₂

$P_{2} =\frac{(1.00atm)(0.45L)}{2.00L}$

With this equation, the liters cancel out and we will be left with atm.

P₂=0.225 atm

What’s the relationship between atomic radius and ease of oxidation on the activity series.

user100 [1]

The bigger the atomic radius the easier it is to oxidise the atom. Remember that an atom is oxidized by the loss of an electron.

Explanation:

The bigger the atomic radius the further away the valence electron are from the attractive force of the atomic nucleus. This means that the energy required to remove an electron from the valence shell is easier compared to an atom with a smaller atomic radius. This is because you need to overcome the attractive force of the nucleus on the electron for you to oxidize the atom.
