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.
Answer:
0.03atm
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Total pressure = 780torr
Partial pressure of water vapor = 1.0atm
Unknown:
Partial pressure of radon = ?
Solution:
A sound knowledge of Dalton's law of partial pressure will help solve this problem.
The law states that "the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the constituent gases".
Mathematically;
P
= P
+ P
+ P
Since the total pressure is 780torr, convert this to atm;
760torr = 1 atm
780torr = 
atm = 1.03atm
For this problem;
Total pressure = Partial pressure of radon + Partial pressure of water vapor
1.03 = Partial pressure of radon + 1.0
Partial pressure of radon = 1.03 - 1.00 = 0.03atm
Answer:1) It is due to large cohesive force acting between the molecules of mercury that the droplets of mercury when brought in contact pulled together to form a bigger drop in order to make potential energy minimum. The temperature of this bigger drop increases since the total surface area decreases.
2) A spherical shape has the minimum surface area to volume ratio of all geometric forms. When two drops of a liquid are brought in contact, the cohesive forces between their molecules coalesce the drops into a single larger drop. This is because, the volume of the liquid remaining the same, the surface area of the resulting single drop is less than the combined surface area of the smaller drops. The resulting decrease in surface energy is released into the environment as heat.
Buoyancy is a condition in which a physical body's average density is equal to the density of the fluid in which it is immersed.
The buoyancy offsets the force of gravity that would otherwise cause the object to sink (if the body's density is greater than the density of the fluid in which it is immersed) or rise (if it's less). An object that has neutral buoyancy will neither sink nor rise.
Hope this helps! xx
