The energy of a nuclear reactor gets converted to electricity by using steam. As steam converts mechanical energy to electricity.
Answer: Option C
<u>Explanation:
</u>
Nuclear reaction works on the principle of nuclear fission. The main functioning of nuclear reactor is the generation of neutrons by fission of Uranium oxide.
The rate of generation of neutrons need to be controlled in the reaction to have a controlled chain reaction which is suitable for generating electricity.
So, the controlling of rate of nuclear generation is done by moderators. The moderators are generally water or graphite in any nuclear reactor. So during these process, steam is produced in the reactor core which then flows through a turbine engine.
The steam rotates the turbines in the generator and thus the mechanical energy of the turbine during rotation is converted as the electrical energy in the generator.
Answer:
ΔH°(f) = -110.5 Kj/mole (exothermic)
Explanation:
C + 1/2O₂ => CO
This is asking for the 'Standard Heat of Formation (ΔH°(f)* for carbon monoxide (CO). Values for many compounds can be found in the appendix of most college general chemistry text books. From Ebbing & Gammon, 11th edition, General Chemistry, Appendix C, page 8A.
*Standard Heat of Formation by definition is the heat gained or lost on formation of a substance (compound) from its basic elements in standard state.
The ΔH°(f) values as indicated are found in the appendix of most college chemistry texts. By choosing any compound, one can determine the standard heat of formation equation for the substance of interest. For example, consider Magnesium Carbonate; MgCO₃(s).The basic standard states of each element is found in the Appendix on Thermodynamic Properties for Substances at 25°C & 1 atm. having ΔH°(f) values = 0.00 Kj/mole. All elements in standard state have a 0 Kj/mol. See appendix and note that under the ΔH°(f) symbol some substances have 0.00 Kj/mol values. The associated element will be in basic standard state,
Standard Heat of Formation Equation for formation of Magnesium Carbonate;
Mg°(s) + C°(gpt)* + 3/2O₂(g) => MgCO₃(s) ; ΔH°(f) = -1111.7 Kj/mole
* gpt => graphite
Answer
Two different elements have similar chemical properties when they have the same number of valence electrons in their outermost energy level. ... Elements in the same column of the Periodic Table have the same number of valence electrons – that's why they have similar chemical properties.
Air is mainly composed of N2 (78%), O2 (21%) and other trace gases. Now, the total pressure of air is the sum of the partial pressures of the constituent gases. The partial pressure of each gas, for example say O2, can be expressed as:
p(O2) = mole fraction of O2 * P(total, air) ----(1)
Thus, the partial pressure is directly proportional to the total pressure. If we consider a sealed container then, as the temperature of air increases so will its pressure. Based on equation (1) an increase in the pressure of air should also increase the partial pressure of oxygen.
Note that
1 m = 3.2808 ft
Therefore
1 km = 3280.8 ft
and
