Answer: b. The waste generated is hazardous and must be disposed of.
c. Nuclear material can be spilled into the ocean if reactors are near the coast.
d. A large amount of cold water is generated, which must be stored somewhere.
Explanation:
The main environmental costs for produced during the nuclear power plant consists of procurement of fuel and the thermal load is also produced with cold water discharge in the sea. This can contaminate the sea, hence, must be stored somewhere. The nuclear waste consists of radioactive substances which are hazardous for the environment. The nuclear based electricity does not produce carbon dioxide.
Answer:
c.
Explanation:
One of the main differences between an atom and an element is that an atom can be combined but an element cannot be combined. There are many combinations of atoms that make up different gases, liquids, and solids each with a unique makup. For example, water is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H20). Elements are made up of only the same type of atom. For example, the element Hydrogen can only contain hydrogen atoms, while the element Carbon can only contain carbon atoms.
Answer:
The mass of C2H2 in the mixture is 0.56gram using the ratio of carbon in the products contributed by the C2H2.
Explanation:
The balanced equation for the reaction is: C3H8 + 2C2H2 + 10O2 >> 7CO2 + 6H2O.
From the reaction, we know that the oxygen was in excess, this will make the Carbon sources the limiting agents in the reaction. The details of the reaction showed that the ratio of water to the carbon dioxide is 1.6:1. This also means that the expected mole of carbon dioxide will be 7/1.6, which is 3.75moles.
The individual balanced equation of reaction is:
C3H3 +5O2 >> 3CO2 + 4H2O
and 2C2H2 + 5O2 >>4CO2 + 2H2O. From this one can quickly tell that the propane is in sufficient supply as it produces 3 moles of CO2 out of the expected 3.75 moles obtained above. Leaving 0.75moles of CO2 to the ethyne.
The mass of ethyne in the mixture will therefore be: 0.75/3.75 X 2.8 = 0.56g.
Answer:
75 mg
Explanation:
We can write the extraction formula as
x = m/[1 + (1/K)(Vaq/Vo)], where
x = mass extracted
m = total mass of solute
K = distribution coefficient
Vo = volume of organic layer
Vaq = volume of aqueous layer
Data:
m = 75 mg
K = 1.8
Vo = 0.90 mL
Vaq = 1.00 mL
Calculations:
For each extraction,
1 + (1/K)(Vaq/Vo) = 1 + (1/1.8)(1.00/0.90) = 1 + 0.62 = 1.62
x = m/1.62 = 0.618m
So, 61.8 % of the solute is extracted in each step.
In other words, 38.2 % of the solute remains.
Let r = the amount remaining after n extractions. Then
r = m(0.382)^n.
If n = 7,
r = 75(0.382)^7 = 75 × 0.001 18 = 0.088 mg
m = 75 - 0.088 = 75 mg
After seven extractions, 75 mg (99.999 %) of the solute will be extracted.
