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).

Convert 22.4kg/l to kg/ml
Lady_Fox [76]
to be in kg/mL. What you need to do first is write 22.4 kg/L over 1. Divide this by 1000 because there are 1000 mL per L. Your equation will look like 22.4 kg/L over 1 divided by 1000/1. You end up getting .0224 kg/mL.

When hydrated copper(II) sulfate crystals are heated, anhydrous copper(II) sulfate forms. A mass of 12.5 g of hydrated copper(II
pychu [463]

The formula of hydrated copper(II) sulfate is CuSO4.10H2O

<h3>What is the formula of the hydrated copper (ii) sulfate salt?</h3>

The formula of the hydrated copper (ii) sulfate is determined as follows:

Mass of hydrated salt = 12.5 g

Mass of anhydrous salt = 8.0 g

Mass of water = 12.5 - 8 = 4.5 g

mole ratio of water and anhydrous salt is;

4.5/18 : 8.0/159.5

0.562 : 0.05

10 : 1

Water of crystallization (n) = 10.

Therefore, the formula of hydrated copper(II) sulfate is CuSO4.10H2O

The formula of nitrobenzene is c6h5no2. the molecular weight of this compound is __________ amu.
mafiozo [28]

The molecular weight of a given compound would simply the sum of the molar weights of each component.

 

The molar masses of the elements are:

C = 12 amu

H = 1 amu

N = 14 amu

O = 16 amu

where 1 amu = 1 g / mol

 

Since there are 6 C, 5 H, 1 N and 2 O, therefore the total molecular weight is:

molecular weight = 6 (12 amu) + 5 (1 amu) + 1 (14 amu) + 2 (16 amu)

molecular weight = 123 amu

 

Therefore the molecular weight of nitrobenzene is 123 amu or which is exactly equivalent to 123 g / mol.
