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

Chemistry
1 answer:
galben [10]3 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).

Predict the effect of an eightfold pressure increase on the equilibriunm composition of the reaction 3 Nalg) + H21g) =2 NaHlg)​
aniked [119]

According to Le cha telier's principle when we increase the pressure of a equilibrium reaction the reaction shift to the side where few moles of gas present.

Your reaction (Notice - I guess the reaction you written is wrong, but still I'm solving with your given prediction)

3NaI (g) + H2 (g) = 2NaHI (g)

Where access of sodium iodide is reacting with Hydrogen gas to form NaHI molecule.

Number of moles of gas on reaction side - 3+2 = 5 moles

Number of moles of gas on product side - 2 moles

<em>Conclusion- the reaction will shift to the right of the reaction</em>

What are the possible values of ml for l=2<br> ​
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

-2, -1, 0, 1, 2

Explanation:

There are four types of quantum numbers;

1) Principal quantum number (n)

2) Azimuthal quantum number (l)

3) magnetic quantum number (ml)

4) Spin quantum number (s)

The azimuthal quantum number (l) describes the orbital angular momentum and shape of an orbital while the magnetic quantum number shows the projections of the orbital angular momentum along a specified axis.  This implies that the magnetic quantum number shows the orientation of various orbitals along the Cartesian axes. The values of the magnetic quantum  number ranges from -l to + l

For l= 2, the possible values of the magnetic quantum number are; -2, -1, 0, 1, 2

A researcher wants to determine if a unicellular organism he discovered is an autotroph or a heterotroph. He radioactively label
GaryK [48]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Autotrophs utilize the energy from  sunlight to reduce carbon dioxide to carbohydrates (glucose). The energy from the sunlight is used to split water into H+ and O2- and the H+ used in the reduction process. The labeled carbon in the carbon dioxide will, therefore, be incorporated by the autotrophs in the carbohydrates made in photosynthesis.
