What must happen to uranium before it can be used as a fuel source?

Chemistry

1 answer:

kiruha [24]3 years ago

4 0

Explanation:

Before it can be used in a reactor for electricity generation, however, it must undergo a series of processes to produce a useable fuel. For most of the world's reactors, the next step in making the fuel is to convert the uranium oxide into a gas, uranium hexafluoride (UF6), which enables it to be enriched.

Acetone major species present when dissolved in water

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: acetone molecule ( CH₃-CO-CH₃)

Explanation:

1) Acetone is CH₃-CO-CH₃

2) That is a molecule (build up of covalent bonds).

3) When dissolved, covalent bonded compounds remain as separate molecules, then it is said that the major species present in the solution is the molecule. The molecules of acetone are surrounded (sovated) by the molecules of water.

This as opposed to the case of ionic compounds that ionize. When a compound as NaCl dissolves in water, it ionizes completely, so the major speceies are not NaCl formulas, but the ions Na⁺ and Cl⁻, not molecules.

That leads to the answer: the major species present when acetone is dissolved in water is the molecules of acetone (you do not need to state the fact that the molecules of water are part of the solution, because that is not the target of the question).

Calculate the freezing point (in degrees C) of a solution made by dissolving 7.99 g of anthracene{C14H10} in 79 g of benzene. Th

mario62 [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The freezing point of solution is 2.6°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the depression in freezing point, we use the equation:

$\Delta T_f=iK_fm$

Or,

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times \frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ in grams}}$

where,

$\Delta T_f$ = $\text{Freezing point of pure solution}-\text{Freezing point of solution}$

Freezing point of pure solution = 5.5°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 1 (For non-electrolytes)

$K_f$ = molal freezing point depression constant = 5.12 K/m = 5.12 °C/m

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (anthracene) = 7.99 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (anthracene) = 178.23 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (benzene) = 79 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$5.5-\text{Freezing point of solution}=1\times 5.12^oC/m\times \frac{7.99\times 1000}{178.23g/mol\times 79}\\\\\text{Freezing point of solution}=2.6^oC$

Hence, the freezing point of solution is 2.6°C

A device that does work with only one movement and changes the size or direction of a force is a(n) ____.

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

A device that does work with only one movement and changes the size or direction of a force is a simple machine.

Explanation:

For applying force, any used basic mechanical devices are simple machines.
Simple machine changes the direction as well as the amplitude of the applied force i.e. we can increase or decrease the magnitude of the force.
A simple machine is the most basic mechanism to use the force as we need in big mechanical machines.
Some of the examples of simple machines are inclined plane, lever, wedge, wheel and axle, pulley, and screw.
