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).

Starting with 2.50 mol of N2 gas (assumed to be ideal) in a cylinder at 1.00 atm and 20.0C, a chemist first heats the gas at con
arsen [322]

Answer:

a)  T_b=590.775k

b)  W_t=1.08*10^4J

d)  Q=3.778*10^4J

d)  \triangle V=4.058*10^4J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Moles of N2 n=2.50

Atmospheric pressure P=100atm

Temperature t=20 \textdegree C

                      t = 20+273

                     t = 293k

Initial heat Q=1.36 * 10^4 J

a)

Generally the equation for change in temperature is mathematically given by

\triangle T=\frac{Q}{N*C_v}

  Where

  C_v=Heat\ Capacity \approx 20.76 J/mol/K

T_b-T_a=\frac{1.36 * 10^4 J}{2.5*20.76 }

T_b-293k=297.775

T_b=590.775k

b)

Generally the equation for ideal gas is mathematically given by

 PV=nRT

For v double

 T_c=2*590.775k

 T_c=1181.55k

Therefore

PV=Wbc

Wbc=(2.20)(8.314)(1181_590.778)

Wbc=10805.7J

Total Work-done W_t

W_t=Wab+Wbc

W_t=0+1.08*10^4

W_t=1.08*10^4J

c)

Generally the equation for amount of heat added is mathematically given by

Q=nC_p\triangle T

Q=2.20*2907*(1181.55-590.775)\\

Q=3.778*10^4J

d)

Generally the equation for change in internal energy of the gas is mathematically given by

\triangle V=nC_v \triangle T

\triangle V=2.20*20.76*(1181.55-293)k

\triangle V=4.058*10^4J

A balloon filled with helium occupies 20.0 l at 1.50 atm and 25.0◦c. How many moles of helium will there be in the balloon at st
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

  • There will be 1.23 moles of helium in the balloon at STP

Explanation:

1) <u>Initial conditions of the helium gas</u>:

  • V = 20.0 liter
  • p = 1.50 atm
  • T = 25.0 °C = 25.0 + 273.15 K = 298.15 K

2) <u>Ideal gas equation</u>:

  • pV = n RT
  • p, V, and T are given above
  • R is the Universal constant = 0.0821 atm-liter / ( K - mol)
  • n is the unknown number of moles

3) <u>Solve for n</u>:

  • n = pV / (RT) =
  • n = 1.50 atm × 20.0 liter / (0.0821 atm-liter /k -mol ×298.15K)
  • n = 1.23 mol

4) <u>At STP:</u>

  • STP stands for standard pressure and temperature.
  • The amount (number of moles) of the gas will not change because the change of pressure and temperature, so the number of moles reamain the same: 1.23 mol.

How are solutions and compounds similar?
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

A compound is a pure substance that is composed of elements chemically bonded in definite proportions. A compound can be broken down into simpler substances only by chemical reactions, such as electrolysis. A solution is a homogeneous mixture, meaning that it is the same throughout.

chemical reactions in the kitchen

Baking soda and vinegar create carbon dioxide. In both of these cases, a chemical reaction between a solid and liquid creates a new substance, a gas. Both yeast and baking soda can be used to create a gas.
