Recently, the United States government decided to construct a huge crypt in the middle of Yucca Mountain in Nevada to bury high-

level wastes, but complaints by Nevada residents and other citizens have delayed putting that plan into operation. Describe at least three concerns that the residents of this area might have regarding construction of the crypt at this site.

Storing high-level waste is always a concern when it is done near a populated community. Therefore, this plan is likely to be met with reluctance on the part of the local population. There are several complaints that locals might have about this issue:

1. The crypt might take up space that is desirable for the community. This could prevent the construction of housing nearby, making it difficult for the community to grow.

2. The crypt might leak, and its contents could pollute the natural environment of the area.

3. The crypt might be aesthetically unpleasant, which could also affect tourism or urban growth.

The three concerns that the residents of this area might be:

1) <span>The cost of not moving forward is extremely high, so they opposed the plan, as they think it would affect US economy

2) </span><span>Nuclear waste disposal capability is an environmental imperative, so their environment would be polluted by very radioactive materials.

3) </span>Demand for new nuclear plants also demands disposal capability which supports national security but again, their site will be no longer for them. But unfortunately, <span>Extensive studies consistently show Yucca Mountain to be a sound site for nuclear waste disposal so the plan can't be abolished.

Hope this helps!</span>

If the % acetic acid listed on a vinegar bottle is 4%, what is the implied uncertainty of the acetic acid concentration
Tom [10]

Answer:

This question appears incomplete

Explanation:

This question appears incomplete because the data provided only makes it possible to calculate the certainty of the acetic acid content per total volume of the vinegar. Thus, the 4% means for every 100 mL of the vinegar, there is 4 mL of acetic acid present. To calculate the volume of acetic acid in any other volume of vinegar, the formula will be

volume of acetic acid = 4/100 × total volume of vinegar

Using the fact that at 0.10 M, the absorbance was 0.357; and at 0.20 M, the absorbance was 0.714, the absorptivity (slope) is
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The answer is "3.57 and 0.07".

Explanation:

Using the slop formula:

=\frac{n_2-n_1}{n_2-n_1}\\\\ =\frac{0.714-0.357}{0.20-0.10} \\\\ = ABSORPTIVITY, \ \ a=3.57 \\\\A= a\times b \times c

Given:

A=0.250

length path b=1  

from calibration it is found that

a=3.57\\\\consentation \ c=\frac{A}{a\times b} \\\\C=\frac{0.250}{3.57\times 1}

   =0.07 \ M

The rate of a reaction is measured by how fast a reactant is used up to how fast a product is formed.
bezimeni [28]
A. True.

Very true. The quicker or slower the reactants are used up the faster or slower the rate of reaction, and the faster or slower the products are formed, the faster or slower the rate of reaction.
