Explain why uranium must be enriched to be used in a nuclear power plant.

Chemistry
1 answer:
galben [10]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The nuclear fuel used in a nuclear reactor needs to have a higher concentration of the U 235 isotope than that which exists in natural uranium ore. U235 when concentrated (or "enriched") is fissionable in light-water reactors (the most common reactor design in the USA).

What is the mass of a wooden block with a density 2.0 and a volume of 7.0? (Need answer ASAP!!)
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

mass= 14kg

Explanation:

density= mass/volume

so that means mass= volume x density

m= 2kg/m³ x 7m³

m= 14 kg

Hope this helps

4. Find the pH at each of the following points in the titration of 25 mL of 0.3 M HF with 0.3 M NaOH. The Ka value is 6.6x10-4 a
yawa3891 [41]

Explanation:

Since HF is a weak acid, the use of an ICE table is required to find the pH. The question gives us the concentration of the HF.

HF+H2O⇌H3O++F−HF+H2O⇌H3O++F−

Initial0.3 M-0 M0 MChange- X-+ X+XEquilibrium0.3 - X-X MX M

Writing the information from the ICE Table in Equation form yields

6.6×10−4=x20.3−x6.6×10−4=x20.3−x

Manipulating the equation to get everything on one side yields

0=x2+6.6×10−4x−1.98×10−40=x2+6.6×10−4x−1.98×10−4

Now this information is plugged into the quadratic formula to give

x=−6.6×10−4±(6.6×10−4)2−4(1)(−1.98×10−4)−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√2x=−6.6×10−4±(6.6×10−4)2−4(1)(−1.98×10−4)2

The quadratic formula yields that x=0.013745 and x=-0.014405

However we can rule out x=-0.014405 because there cannot be negative concentrations. Therefore to get the pH we plug the concentration of H3O+ into the equation pH=-log(0.013745) and get pH=1.86

what is the order of decreasing bond length for a C-C bond composed of the following molecular orbitals?I. sp^3 - sp^3II. sp^2 -
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The decreasing order of bond length in the carbon - carbon bonds will be:

C-C>C=C>C\equiv C

Explanation:

Bond length is defined as average distance between two nuclei of  bonded atoms in a molecule.Bond length is inversely  proportional to the number of bonds present between two atoms.

\text{Bond length} \propto \frac{1}{\text{Number of bonds}}...[1]

Bond energy is defied as amount of energy required to break apart the bond of 1 mole of molecule into their individual atom. Bond energy is directly proportional to the number of bonds present between two atoms.

\text{Bond Energy} \propto \text{Number of bonds}..[2]

From [1] and [2]:

\text{Bond length} \propto \frac{1}{\text{Bond energy}}

C-C: sp_3 hybridized

C=C: sp_2 hybridized

C\equiv C: sp hybridized

Extent of overlapping of orbitals in these hybridization;

C\equiv C> C=C > C-C

Higher the overlapping of orbital more closer will be both atoms to each other and shorter will be the bond lenght.

So, the decreasing order of bond length in the carbon - carbon bonds will be:

C-C>C=C>C\equiv C
