How does a nuclear reactor produce electricity

Chemistry
1 answer:
kaheart [24]2 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

23491pa undergoes beta decay. what is the mass number of the resulting element?
qaws [65]
Answer is: mass number is 234.
Beta decay is radioactive decay<span> in which a </span>beta ray<span> and a </span>neutrino<span> are emitted from an </span><span>atomic nucleus.
</span>There are two types of beta decay: beta minus<span> and </span>beta plus. <span> In beta minus </span><span>decay, neutron is converted to a proton and an </span>electron<span> and an </span>electron antineutrino and in beta plus <span>decay, a proton is converted to a neutron and </span>positron<span> and an </span>electron neutrino, so mass number does not change.

A gas has a volume of 1.75L at -23°C and 150.0 kPa. At what temperature would the gas occupy 1.30L at 210.0 kPa?
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

At -13 ^{0}\textrm{C} , the gas would occupy 1.30L at 210.0 kPa.

Explanation:

Let's assume the gas behaves ideally.

As amount of gas remains constant in both state therefore in accordance with combined gas law for an ideal gas-

                                          \frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}

where P_{1} and P_{2} are initial and final pressure respectively.

           V_{1}  and V_{2} are initial and final volume respectively.

           T_{1} and T_{2} are initial and final temperature in kelvin scale respectively.

Here P_{1}=150.0kPa , V_{1}=1.75L , T_{1}=(273-23)K=250K, P_{2}=210.0kPa and V_{2}=1.30L

Hence    T_{2}=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}T_{1}}{P_{1}V_{1}}

            \Rightarrow T_{2}=\frac{(210.0kPa)\times (1.30L)\times (250K)}{(150.0kPa)\times (1.75L)}

            \Rightarrow T_{2}=260K

            \Rightarrow T_{2}=(260-273)^{0}\textrm{C}=-13^{0}\textrm{C}

So at -13 ^{0}\textrm{C} , the gas would occupy 1.30L at 210.0 kPa.
