Answer:

C4H8

Explanation:

First find the molar mass of CH2;

2(1.01) + 1(12.01) = 14.03g

Now divide the molar mass of the compound by the molar mass of CH2;

56g/14.03g = 3.9914 Round to nearest whole number = 4

Multiply CH2 by 4 to get the molecular formula;

CH2* 4 = C4H8

PH is 7.45. Calculate value of [H3O+] and [OH-]
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The answer is (H30+) =3,55e-8M and (OH-)=2,82e-7M

Explanation:

We use the formulas:

pH= - log(H30+)  and Kwater=(H30+)x(OH-)

pH= - log(H30+)  ----< (H30+)= antilog- pH=antilog- 7,45=3,55E-8M

Kwater=(H30+)x(OH-)

(OH-)=Kwater/(H30+)= 1,00e-14/3,55e-8 = 2,82e-7

From the relative rates of effusion of ²³⁵UF₆ and ²³⁸UF₆ , find the number of steps needed to produce a sample of the enriched f
Dafna11 [192]

The number of steps required to manufacture a sample of the 3.0 mole%  ²³⁵U enriched fuel used in many nuclear reactors from the relative rates of effusion of ²³⁵UF₆ and ²³⁸UF₆. ²³⁵U occurs naturally in an abundance of 0.72% are :  mining, milling, conversion, enrichment, fuel fabrication and electricity generation.

<h3>What is Uranium abundance ? </h3>
  • The majority of the 500 commercial nuclear power reactors that are currently in operation or being built across the world need their fuel to be enriched in the U-235 isotope.
  • This enrichment is done commercially using centrifuges filled with gaseous uranium.
  • A laser-excitation-based method is being developed in Australia.
  • Uranium oxide needs to be changed into a fluoride before enrichment so that it can be treated as a gas at low temperature.
  • Uranium enrichment is a delicate technology from the perspective of non-proliferation and needs to be subject to strict international regulation. The capacity for world enrichment is vastly overbuilt.

The two isotopes of uranium that are most commonly found in nature are U-235 and U-238. The 'fission' or breaking of the U-235 atoms, which releases energy in the form of heat, is how nuclear reactors generate energy. The primary fissile isotope of uranium is U-235.

The U-235 isotope makes up 0.7% of naturally occurring uranium. The U-238 isotope, which has a small direct contribution to the fission process, makes up the majority of the remaining 99.3%. (though it does so indirectly by the formation of fissile isotopes of plutonium). A physical procedure called isotope separation is used to concentrate (or "enrich") one isotope in comparison to others. The majority of reactors are light water reactors (of the PWR and BWR kinds) and need their fuel to have uranium enriched by 0.7% to 3-5% U-235.

There is some interest in increasing the level of enrichment to around 7%, and even over 20% for particular special power reactor fuels, as high-assay LEU (HALEU).

Although uranium-235 and uranium-238 are chemically identical, they have different physical characteristics, most notably mass. The U-235 atom has an atomic mass of 235 units due to its 92 protons and 143 neutrons in its nucleus. The U-238 nucleus has 146 neutrons—three more than the U-235 nucleus—in addition to its 92 protons, giving it a mass of 238 units.

The isotopes may be separated due to the mass difference between U-235 and U-238, which also makes it possible to "enrich" or raise the proportion of U-235. This slight mass difference is used, directly or indirectly, in all current and historical enrichment procedures.

Some reactors employ naturally occurring uranium as its fuel, such as the British Magnox and Canadian Candu reactors. (By contrast, to manufacture at least 90% U-235, uranium needed for nuclear bombs would need to be enriched in facilities created just for that purpose.)

Uranium oxide from the mine is first transformed into uranium hexafluoride in a separate conversion plant because enrichment operations need the metal to be in a gaseous state at a low temperature.

Reema took 5ml of Lead Nitrate solution in a beaker and added approximately 4ml of Potassium Iodide solution to it. What would s
Brrunno [24]

She would observe a yellowish  solid precipitate which is the lead iodide and a white solid precipitate which is the potassium nitrate.

This is because the lead nitrate solution which contains particles of lead will mix with the potassium iodide solution containing  particles of iodide. Upon mixing,the  lead particles  from the Lead nitrate solution combines with the  iodide particles from Potassium iodide and form two compounds, a yellowish solid precipitate called lead iodide and a white solid  precipitate called Potassium nitrate.

The formation of entirely two new compounds is known as the double displacement reaction and can be written in a chemical equation as  

2KI(aq.)+Pb(NO₃)₂(aq.)------>2KNO₃(aq.)+PbI ₂(s)
