Answer:Strontium-90 and cesium-137 have half-lives of about 30 years (half the radioactivity will decay in 30 years). Plutonium-239 has a half-life of 24,000 years. High-level wastes are hazardous because they produce fatal radiation doses during short periods of direct exposure.

Answer:

10,000

Explanation:All toxic waste needs to be dealt with safely, not just radioactive waste. The radioactivity of nuclear waste naturally decays, and has a finite radiotoxic lifetime. Within a period of 10,000 years, the radioactivity of HLW decays to that of the originally mined ore. Its hazard then depends on how concentrated it is.

By what mechanism does cyclohexanol react when treated in concentrated sulfuric acid/phosphoric acid and what compound results?

slava [35]

Answer:

The mechanism is E1 and the product is cyclohexene

Explanation:

Attached to this answer is an image of the reaction mechanism of the reaction between cyclohexanol and concentrated sulfuric acid/phosphoric acid. The acid (H3O^+) acts as catalyst.

We can see that the first step in the mechanism is the protonation of the -OH group of the alcohol. This is followed by loss of water molecule which is a good leaving group.

The water now acts as a Lewis base by abstracting a proton from the substrate, forming cyclohexene and regenerating the acid catalyst.

A chemist dissolves 484 .mg of pure perchloric acid in enough water to make up 240.mL of solution. Calculate the pH of the solut

sdas [7]

Answer:

1.70

Explanation:

The molar mass of perchloric acid is 100.46 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 484 mg (0.484 g) are:

0.484 g × (1 mol/100.46 g) = 4.82 × 10⁻³ mol

4.82 × 10⁻³ moles are dissolved in 240 mL (0.240 L) of solution. The molar concentration of perchloric acid is:

4.82 × 10⁻³ mol/0.240 L = 0.0201 M

Perchloric acid is a strong monoprotic acid, that is, it dissociates completely, so [H⁺] = 0.0201 M.

The pH is:

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 0.0201 = 1.70
