Power plants can be powered by fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas, or nuclear power to produce steam to turn turbines to

generate electricity. Elaborate on why one might not choose nuclear power over the fossil fuel power plants.
A) Nuclear power has far less environmental impact than using fossil fuels.
B) Nuclear power plants create clean, renewable energy that does not pollute. C) Radioactive waste requires special treatment and disposal procedures.

Answer:

C) Radioactive waste requires special treatment and disposal procedures.

Explanation:

The production of radioactive waste is the biggest disadvantage of a nuclear plant because its treatment and disposal are difficult and if it isn’t treated this waste can be dangerous since it can cause cell mutation that produces diseases.

Besides, the other statements are advantage of nuclear power over fossil fuel

german

The correct option is: CH4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O.

In writing chemical equations, the reactants are usually written to the left of the equation of the reaction while the products are written to the right of the reaction. An arrow pointing in the right direction shows the direction of the reaction. In the question given above, methane and oxygen are the reactants while carbon dioxide and water are the products. The options that states the chemical reaction correctly is option 1.

A 9.000L tank at 27.0°C is filled with 5.29g of sulfur tetrafluoride gas and 15.6g of carbon dioxide gas. You can assume both ga
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Mole fraction SF₄: 0,121

Mole fraction CO₂: 0,879

Partial pressure SF₄: 0,134 atm

Partial pressure CO₂: 0,968 atm

Total pressure: 1,102 atm

Explanation:

The moles of sulfur tetrafluoride gas and carbon dioxide gas are:

5,29g SF₄×\frac{1mol}{108,07g}= <em>0,0489 moles SF₄</em>

15,6 CO₂×\frac{1mol}{44,01g}= <em>0,354 moles CO₂</em>

Mole fraction SF₄:

X_{SF_{4}} = \frac{0,0489mol}{0,0489+0,354} = <em>0,121</em>

Mole fraction CO₂:

X_{CO_{2}} = \frac{0,354mol}{0,0489+0,354} = <em>0,879</em>

It is possible to obtain partial pressure of both gases with moles of each gas using:

P = nRT/V

Where n are respective moles, R is gas constant (<em>0,082atmL/molK</em>), T is teemperature (27°C=<em>300,15K</em>), V is volume (<em>9,0000L)</em>

Replacing:

Partial pressure SF₄: <em>0,134atm</em>

Partial pressure CO₂: <em>0,968atm</em>

Now, the sum of the partial pressures is the total pressure in the tank, that means:

Total pressure: 0,134atm + 0,968atm = <em>1,102atm</em>

I hope it helps!
