A nuclear power plant operates at 40.0% efficiency with a continuous production of 1042 MW of usable power in 1.00 year and cons
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

3.00 x 10^-11 joules / atom of U-235

Explanation:

We know that the formula for Power = Work done (w)/Time (t)

We need to get the joules from power , since Joules is the SI unit of work.

From the formula P = W/t

W = Power (P) * Time (t)

The SI unit for Time is seconds, hence we change 1 year in seconds

1yr * 365 days/yr * 24hrs/day * 60mins/hr * 60 secs/min = 31536000 secs

It was stated in the question that the plant operates at an efficiency of 40%,

Thus to get the true power we divide the power provided in the question by 0.4 or 40%

= X(0.4) = 1042MW

True Power X = 1042/0.4 = 2605MW

Thus true power = 2605 * 10^6 Watts

Now we have the time in seconds and true power in Watts, we then find the work done.

From our above formula P = W/t

W = P*t = (2605* 10^6) (31536000) =

Finally, we can solve for our energy (work):

P = W / T        PT = W = (2880x10^6) (31536000) = 8.22 x 10^16 joules

We then calculate the amount of energy released by only 1 single uranium-235 atom.

= 8.22 x 10^16 joules / 1.07x10^6 g U-235 (235 g / 1 mol)(1 mol/6.0210^23 atoms)

= 3.00 x 10^-11 joules / atom of U-235

How many moles are in 2.6 x 10 ^25 atoms of Li?​
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

43 mole

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of atoms of Li = 2.6× 10²⁵ atoms

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.  The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

2.6× 10²⁵ atoms × 1 mole / 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

0.43 × 10² mole

43 mole

True/False –Similar to liquids, gases cannot be compressed.
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A liquid has a definite shape and takes on the volume of its container. A gas has both the shape and the volume of its container. The particles in a gas cannot be compressed into a smaller volume. Liquids tend to contract when heated.

Hope this helps
