The complete balanced chemical reaction is:
2 AgNO3 + Na2S --> 2 NaNO3 + Ag2S
First let us calculate the number of moles of AgNO3.
moles AgNO3 = 0.315 M * 0.035 L
moles AgNO3 = 0.011025 mol
From the reaction, 1 mole of Na2S is needed for every 2
moles of AgNO3 hence:
moles Na2S required = 0.011025 mol AgNO3 * (1 mol Na2S / 2
mol AgNO3)
moles Na2S required = 5.5125 x 10^-3 mol
Therefore volume required is:
volume Na2S = 5.5125 x 10^-3 mol / 0.260 M
<span>volume Na2S = 0.0212 L = 21.2 mL</span>
Answer:
30.8 grams of magnesium hydroxide will form from this reaction, and magnesium nitrate is the limiting reagent.
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
- 2NaOH + Mg(NO₃)₂ → 2NaNO₃ + Mg(OH)₂
Now we <u>convert the given masses of reactants to moles</u>, using their respective <em>molar masses</em>:
- 68.3 g NaOH ÷ 40 g/mol = 1.71 mol NaOH
- 78.3 g Mg(NO₃)₂ ÷ 148.3 g/mol = 0.528 mol Mg(NO₃)₂
0.528 moles of Mg(NO₃)₂ would react completely with (0.528 * 2) 1.056 moles of NaOH. There are more than enough NaOH moles, so NaOH is the reagent in excess and <em>Mg(NO₃)₂ is the limiting reagent.</em>
Now we <u>calculate how many Mg(OH)₂ are produced</u>, using the <em>moles of the limiting reagent</em>:
- 0.528 mol Mg(NO₃)₂ *
= 0.528 mol Mg(OH)₂
Finally we convert Mg(OH)₂ moles to grams:
- 0.528 mol Mg(OH)₂ * 58.32 g/mol = 30.8 g
The biggest reason is radioactive wastes. Nuclear power generated radioactive wastes like Uranimum, plutonium and amercium that inhibits gene expression and causes cancer to the environment. Nuclear plants use to release these wastes into the oceans, and it causes fishes to exhibit gender change, 3 eyes, 2 tails etc. The impact on human shows signs of serious blood, liver and lung cancers.
There are currently no way to get rid of these wastes as they take hundred thousands of years to decompose.
Another reason is they cause a small amount of green gas emission. Releases CO2 to the sky. They exhibit radioactive gas emission as well (causes cancer) .
