Answer: Uranium enrichment. Uranium is used to fuel nuclear reactors; however, uranium must be enriched before it can be used as fuel. Enriching uranium increases the amount of uranium-235 (U235) that can sustain the nuclear reaction needed to release energy and produce electricity at a nuclear power plant.

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Explanation:

Our H_2O_2 sample yielded 1g of H_2 and 16g of O_2, but our unknown sample yielded 2 times as much H_2  for the same amount of O_2.

What does this mean? that the H:O proportion for the unknown sample is twice the H:O proportion for the H_2O_2 sample.

What is the  H:O proportion for the H_2O_2 sample? As we can see from its formula, it's 1:1, therefore the proportion for the unknown formula must be 2:1.

That means, two H atoms for every O atom. We could write that as: H_2O and you should recognize that formula, for it is one of the most common compounds on earth, Water.
