Is there a way to stop radioactive decay?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Wittaler [7]3 years ago

The chain reaction is easy to stop. Just add a neuron absorbing material. The Control Rods in rectors can do that You just SCRAM (put the rods all the way in) or add something like Boron and the chain reaction stops. 

<span>The problem is the radioactive waste. Those isotopes break down and release heat spontaneously, no neutrons required. The only known way to stop or slow radioactive decay down is to slow time down by moving at relativistic speed or near orbit to a black hole.</span>

The density of liquid mercury is 13.69 g/cm^3. How many atoms of mercury are in a 15.0 cm^3 sample? Use "E" for "x10" and use si
balu736 [363]
The formula is  m = D x V
D = <span>13.69 g/cm^3.
</span>V = <span>15.0 cm^3 
the mass of the liquid mercury is m= </span>13.69 g/cm^3 x 15.0 cm^3 = 195g
the molar mass of Hg is 200,
1 mole of Hg = 200g Hg, so #mole of Hg= 195 / 200 = 0.97 mol
but we know that
 1 mole  = 6.022 E23 atoms
0.97 mole=?

6.022 E23 atoms x 0.97 / 1 mole = 5.84 E23 atoms

What volume in mt, of 0.5a M1HCI solution is needed to neutralize 77 ml of 1.54 M NaOH solution?
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

237.2 mL.

Explanation:

  • We have the rule: at neutralization, the no. of millimoles of acid is equal to the no. of millimoles of the base.

(XMV) acid = (XMV) base.

where, X is the no. of (H) or (OH) reproducible in acid or base, respectively.

M is the molarity of the acid or base.

V is the volume of the acid or base.

<em>(XMV) HCl = (XMV) NaOH.</em>

<em></em>

For HCl; X = 1, M = 0.5 M, V = ??? mL.

For NaOH, X = 1, M = 1.54 M, V = 77.0 mL.

<em>∴ V of HCl = (XMV) NaOH / (XV) HCl = (</em>1)(1.54 M)(77.0 mL) / (1)(0.5 M) = <em>237.2 mL.</em>

Balance this equation: Al+ HNO3 ---- H2 + Al(NO3)3​
romanna [79]

Answer:

2Al+ 6HNO3 ---- 3H2 + 2Al(NO3)3​

Explanation:

Put coefficient a,b,c, and d for calculation:

a Al + b HNO3 = c H2 + d Al(NO3)3

for Al: a = d

for H: b = 2c

for N: b = 3d

for O: 3b = 9d

Suppose a=1, then d=1, b=3, c=3/2

multiply 2 to make all natural number, a=2, then b=6, c=3, d=2

Please help on 44. /45./ 46./47,
Aleonysh [2.5K]
The only one that I can do without google is 47. Sorry that I can't answer the others. The answer to 47 is this: you know that the western side of the hill has the steepest slope because the ovals showing altitude are way closer together. The closer the circles/ovals are, the steeper the slope is.

Sorry if this doesn't help much, but I answered what I could without cheating.
