F. <em>None of the above
</em>
<em>No O atoms are present</em> as reacting substances, only O_2 and H_2O molecules.
O_2 + 2H_2O + 2e^(-) → 4OH^(-)
We must use <em>oxidation numbers</em> to decide whether oxygen or water is the substance reduced.
The oxidation number of O changes from 0 in O_2 to -2 in OH^(-).
A decrease in oxidation number is <em>reduction</em>, so O_2 is the substance reduced.
The oxidation number of O is -2 in both H_2O and OH^(-), so water is <em>neither oxidized nor reduced</em>.
Answer:
Nuclear energy comes from splitting atoms in a reactor to heat water into steam, turn a turbine and generate electricity.
Explanation:
Ninety-five nuclear reactors in 29 states generate nearly 20 percent of the nation's electricity, all without carbon emissions because reactors use uranium, not fossil fuels.

Answer:
The pH is 7.54
Explanation:
The Henderson - Hasselbalch equation states that for a buffer solution which consists of a weak acid and its conjugate base, the buffer pH is given by:
pH ![=pk_{a} +log(\frac{[conjugate base]}{[weakacid]})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3Dpk_%7Ba%7D%20%2Blog%28%5Cfrac%7B%5Bconjugate%20base%5D%7D%7B%5Bweakacid%5D%7D%29)
pkₐ is for the acid
In this case, the buffer hypochlorous acid HClO is a weak acid, and its conjugate base is the hypochlorite anion ClO⁻ is delivered to the solution via sodium hypochlorite NaClO
.
NaCIO = 0.200 M
HCIO = 0.200 M
pkₐ = -log₁₀ kₐ = -log₁₀ (2.9 × 10⁻⁸) = 7.54
∴pH = 
= 7.54
