Nuclear energy originates from the splitting of uranium atoms – a process called fission. This generates heat to produce steam, which is used by a turbine generator to generate electricity. Although renewable energy sources, like wind and solar power, are important resources for a country’s energy mix, only nuclear power is capable of producing large amounts of electricity 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

For safety precaution which regards to employees, several federal agencies—the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. departments of Energy and Transportation—establish radiation protection regulations for U.S. nuclear plants based on internationally recognized scientific studies.

For the safety precaution of power plants itself, The NRC monitors plant performance according to three strategic areas: reactor safety, radiation safety and security.

Understanding how much of a product is produced in a reaction is referred to as ________ understanding the reaction?
777dan777 [17]
Hello!

Understanding how much of a product is produced in a reaction is referred to as Stoichiometrically understanding the reaction.

Stoichiometry is the calculation of the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction. The first to talk about stoichiometry was Jeremias Benjamin Ritcher, who said that "Stoichiometry is the science that measures the quantitative proportions or mass ratios of chemical elements that are involved in a chemical reaction".

To calculate how much of a product is produced in a reaction, Stoichiometry is used, applying the law of conservation of mass. That means that the amount of product can be calculated from the amounts of reactants if they are known.

The table describes how some substances were formed.
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Formed by adding 5 g of sugar to 1 L of water

Explanation:

The substance formed by adding 5 g of suagr to 1 L of water is a mixture.

<em>A mixture is defined as two or more substances that are physically mixed but do not react together. It thus means that the component substances of a mixture can be retrieved through appropriate means of separations.</em>

<u>A mixture of sugar and water can be separated by evaporation. The mixture is heated and the vapor from the boiling water can be condensed to retrieve the water while the residue will give the sugar that was initially dissolved in it. </u>

The products formed from other descriptions in the illustration cannot be separated ordinarily and thus, are not considered to be mixture. The components have been chemically combined together.
