Jason is researching the dangers and benefits of nuclear power. He found the following information. Source 1: Nuclear energy red

uces the amount of fossil fuels burned. This reduces the amount of pollution produced. It also requires less fuel to create energy. This makes it a cheaper option for providing electricity. Source 2: Nuclear power plants create radioactive waste, which is dangerous. This waste poses a hazard to the public if it is not stored properly. Accidents can occur at nuclear power plants, which could cause a disaster. Which statement best synthesizes the information he found?
A. Nuclear power plants can cause danger to the public because nuclear waste is hazardous, and accidents at a plant could cause a disaster.

B. While an accident at a nuclear power plant could cause an ecological disaster, the same type of risk is found in power plants that use fossil fuels to produce electricity.

C. Although nuclear power can provide cheaper electricity while producing less pollution, the risk of nuclear waste and the potential for a disaster should be considered.

D. The benefits of nuclear power plants are that they can reduce the amount of pollution created by fossil fuels. They can also provide electricity at a much lower cost than fossil fuels.

Answer: C. Although nuclear power can provide cheaper electricity while producing less pollution, the risk of nuclear waste and the potential for a disaster should be considered.

Explanation:

The nuclear power plants uses the radiation energy to cause fission of heavy atoms. The energy is produced in the form of thermal energy. The nuclear power plants do not produce, carbon dioxide and other pollutants in the environment, thus these do not cause pollution in the environment. The radioactive waste are highly mutagenic in nature this causes deadly mutations in the living beings. Thus a risk is associated with the generation of energy in the nuclear power plant.

Determine the approximate amount of potassium hydrogen phthalate, KHP, that you will need to neutralize 6.00 ml of 0.100 M NaOH.
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

potassium hydrogen phthalate KHP MOLAR MASS = 204.233 glmol

to get 1000 ml

Molar concentration = Mass concentration/Molar Mass

mass concentration = molar concentration x molar mass

mass concentration=0.1 M,

molar mass= 204.233 g/mol

so to get 1L

mass conc = 204.233 x 0.1

= 20.4233g  for 1L or 1000 ml

to get 6.00 ml

if 20.4233g is for 1000ml

then to 6.00 ml

= 20.4233 x 6 / 1000

= 0.123g for 6.00 ml

according to the equation below

NaOH(aq) + KHC8H4O4(aq) --> KNaC8H4O4(aq) + H2O(l)

number of moles of NaOH is equal to that of KHP

so the same amount will be needed too, which is

= 0.123g
