4. Which of these are environmental costs of using

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vinvika [58]3 years ago
8 0

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.

What is the associated deBroglie wavelength of a H2 molecule moving on one direction with kinetic energy of (3/2 kT) at 30 K
andrey2020 [161]

<u>Answer:</u> The de-Broglie's wavelength of a hydrogen molecule is 3.26\AA

<u>Explanation:</u>

Kinetic energy is the measure of temperature of the system.

The equation used to calculate kinetic energy of a particle follows:

E=\frac{3}{2}kT

where,

E = kinetic energy of the particles  = ?

k = Boltzmann constant  = 1.38\times 10^{-23}J/K

T = temperature of the particle = 30 K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E=\frac{3}{2}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23}J/K\times 30K\\\\E=6.21\times 10^{-22}J

  • Calculating the mass of 1 molecule of hydrogen gas:

Conversion factor used:  1 kg = 1000 g

1 mole of hydrogen gas has a mass of 2 grams or 2\times 10^{-3}kg  

According to mole concept:

6.022\times 10^{23} number of molecules occupy 1 mole of a gas.

As, 6.022\times 10^{23} number of hydrogen molecules has a mass of 2\times 10^{-3}kg

So, 1 molecule of hydrogen will have a mass of = \frac{2\times 10^{-3}kg}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\times 1=3.32\times 10^{-27}kg

  • To calculate the wavelength of a particle, we use the equation given by De-Broglie's wavelength, which is:

\lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE_k}}

where,

\lambda = De-Broglie's wavelength = ?

h = Planck's constant = 6.624\times 10^{-34}Js

m = mass of 1 hydrogen molecule = 3.32\times 10^{-27}kg

E_k = kinetic energy of the particle = 6.21\times 10^{-22}J

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\lambda=\frac{6.624\times 10^{-34}Js}{\sqrt{2\times 3.32\times 10^{-27}kg\times 6.21\times 10^{-22}J}}

\lambda=3.26\times 10^{-10}m=3.26\AA    (Conversion factor: 1\AA=10^{-10}m )

Hence, the de-Broglie's wavelength of a hydrogen molecule is 3.26\AA

explain why it is a common laboratory procedure to heat analytical reagents and store them in a dessicated atmosphere (a sealed
Readme [11.4K]

Explanation:

Most reagent forms are going to absorb water from the air; they're called "hygroscopic".  Water presence can have a drastic impact on the experiment being performed  For fact, it increases the reagent's molecular weight, meaning that anything involving a very specific molarity (the amount of molecules in the final solution) will not function properly.

Heating will help to eliminate water, although some chemicals don't react well to heat, so it shouldn't be used for all.  A dessicated environment is simply a means to  "dry."  That allows the reagent with little water in the air to attach with.
