Answer: a. 0.8 tons p. month.

Explanation:

Given: Total nuclear waste = 60,000 metric tons

Time take = 60 years = 12 x 60 months [ 1 year = 12 months]

= 720 months

Total nuclear power plants = 104

Now , Average waste produced by each plant = $\dfrac{\text{Total waste}}{\text{Time x Number of plants}}$

$=\dfrac{60000}{720\times104}\approx0.8\text{ tons per month.}$

Hence, 0.8 tons p. month is produced by each plant.

So, option a. is correct.

Estimate the surface-to-volume ratio of a C60 fullerene by treating the molecule as a hollow sphere and using 77pm for the atomi

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The surface-to-volume ratio of a C-60 fullerene is 3:77.

Explanation:

Surface area of sphere = $S=4\pi r^2$

Volume of the sphere = $V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

where : r = radius of the sphere

Radius of the C-60 fullerene sphere = r = 77 pm

Surface area of the C-60 fullerene = $S=4\pi (77 pm)^2$ ...[1]

Volume area of the C-60 fullerene = $V=\frac{4}{3}\pi (77 pm)^3$ ..[2]

Dividing [1] by [2]:

$\frac{S}{V}=\frac{4\pi (77 pm)^2}{\frac{4}{3}\pi (77 pm)^3}$

$=\frac{3}{77}$

The surface-to-volume ratio of a C-60 fullerene is 3:77.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

The cooler water is denser

Explanation:

Convection drives the boiling of water placed on a stove in a kettle.

During convection, heat is circulated by density differences in portions of a fluid.

Convection is a form of heat transfer in fluids especially gas and liquid.

In boiling water, the heat is supplied to the base of the stove.
The water at the bottom on heat becomes lighter as the molecules gain more kinetic energy.
The colder part of the water on top sinks to replace the less dense on below.
This exchange sets up convection cells in the kettle.
