Answer: A)There is a high ratio of energy to cost

Positives:

A Chunk of Uranium can power a city a lot longer than a chunk of coal. 
It also does not contribute to pollution since what comes out of the tower is steam.

Negatives:

It is very expensive to build and maintain a nuclear power plant at first so investors whom want money up front are more reluctant to loan money for one.

If the plant does melt down it is very bad for the enviroment and its people, for example Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Ukraine will not be able to be lived in for approximently 20,000 years.

A certain FM radio wave has a frequency of 1.31 x 108 Hz. Given that radio waves travel at
Westkost [7]

Answer:

2.28 m

Explanation:

Use the relationship  

λ=vf

 

to solve for wavelength λ. Substituting the known quantities yields:

λ=vf

 

λ=2.99 x 108 m/s1.31 x 108 Hz

 

λ=2.28 m

A sample of nitrogen gas is at a temperature of 50 c and a pressure of 2 atm. If the volume of the sample remains constant and t
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The new temperature of the nitrogen gas is 516.8 K or 243.8 C.

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's law indicates that, as long as the volume of the container containing the gas is constant, as the temperature increases, the gas molecules move faster. Then the number of collisions with the walls increases, that is, the pressure increases. That is, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

Gay-Lussac's law can be expressed mathematically as follows:

\frac{P}{T} =k

Where P = pressure, T = temperature, K = Constant

You want to study two different states, an initial state and a final state. You have a gas that is at a pressure P1 and at a temperature T1 at the beginning of the experiment. By varying the temperature to a new value T2, then the pressure will change to P2, and the following will be fulfilled:

\frac{P1}{T1} =\frac{P2}{T2}

In this case:

  • P1= 2 atm
  • T1= 50 C= 323 K (being 0 C= 273 K)
  • P2= 3.2 atm
  • T2= ?

Replacing:

\frac{2 atm}{323 K} =\frac{3.2 atm}{T2}

Solving:

T2*\frac{2 atm}{323 K} =3.2 atm

T2=3.2 atm*\frac{323 K}{2 atm}

T2= 516.8 K= 243.8 C

<u><em>The new temperature of the nitrogen gas is 516.8 K or 243.8 C.</em></u>

Explain how a drought poses a threat to life and the biosphere. Use complete sentences.
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

A drought poses a huge threat to all life. If a drought occurred the entire food chain would disintegrate within months. There would be no water for any animals or plants. Small mammals would not be able to eat plants, and reptiles would not be able to the small animals, and so on. A drought can destroy an ecosystem in a short amount of time.

Water is only being moved into the air through water vapor, so the air will become hotter than water. Land is also not moving in the atmosphere and absorbing heat like air is, so air will also be hotter than land, depending on what the land is made of.

Through precipitation, water in the atmosphere can return to the hydrosphere or percolate into the ground to become groundwater—part of the geosphere. ... Water in the biosphere can be released into the atmosphere through transpiration in plants, or respiration in animals.

Tasya [4]

Answer:

C8H8 + 10O2 → 8CO2 + 4H2O

Explanation:

unbalanced reaction:

C8H8 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

balanced for semireactions:

(1) 16H2O + C8H8 → 8CO2 + 40H+

(2) 10(4H+ + O2 → 2H2O)

⇒ 40H+ + 10O2 → 20H2O

(1) + (2):

balanced reaction:

⇒ C8H8 + 10O2 → 8CO2 + 4H2O

                      8 - C - 8

                     20 - O2 - 20

                      8 - H - 8
