How does a nuclear reactor produce electricity

Chemistry
1 answer:
kaheart [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Nuclear reactors are the heart of a nuclear power plant. They contain and control nuclear chain reactions that produce heat through a physical process called fission. That heat is used to make steam that spins a turbine to create electricity. Nuclear power plants use heat produced during nuclear fission to heat water. The heat produced during nuclear fission in the reactor core is used to boil water into steam, which turns the blades of a steam turbine. As the turbine blades turn, they drive generators that make electricity

WHAT ARE SOME POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES IF A HUMAN BODY DOES NOT MAINTAIN<br> HOMEOSTASIS
BARSIC [14]

Calculate the mass of h2o and c6 h12 o6 required to make 250 gram of 40% solution of glucose
Sedaia [141]
40% solution of glucose is where the solution contains, by weight, 40% glucose and 60% water. 

Therefore, if the total weight of the solution is 250 g, 
mass of the glucose (C6H12O6) = 250 g * 40% = 100 g
mass of water (H2O) = 250 g * 60% = 150 g

Mass of water can also be calculated by subtracting the weight of glucose from the total weight of the solution:
mass of water = 250g-100g = 150g.
