I believe is C) waste disposal

The correct option is C.
The issue of disposal of waste of nuclear power plants has been a controversial issue for long because of the hazardous effects which these wastes have on human health and the environment. Most of the waste are usually long lived radioactive wastes which can remain active for a very long time and which have detrimental effect on both the environment and the human health.<span />

A voltaic cell is created by using a copper cathode and a magnesium anode. The cathode is immersed in a solution of Cu2 ions, an
Vikki [24]

Answer:

As the reaction proceeds in the given voltaic cell, the Na₂SO₄ present in the salt bridge will dissociate into Na⁺ and SO₄²⁻ ions. As the copper ions in the solution are being deposited on the copper cathode as neutral copper atoms, the solution will become more negative, therefore the Na⁺ ions in the salt bridge will migrate into the the solution in order to maintain electrical neutrality. At the anode, as the Mg metal dissolve into the solution as Mg⁺² ions, the  solution will tend to become more positive. Therefore, the SO₄²⁻ ions present in the salt bridge will migrate into the solution in order to maintain electrical neutrality.

Explanation:

A voltaic or galvanic cell is an example of an electrochemical cell.

An electrochemical cell is a device that produces an electric current from chemical reactions occuring within it.

Electrochemical cells have two electrodes; the anode and the cathode. The anode is defined as the electrode where oxidation occurs while the cathode is the electrode where reduction occurs.

The voltaic cell uses two different metal electrodes each immersed in an electrolyte solution. The two electrodes are connected to each other by means of a wire which allows the flow of electrons from the anode to the cathode. The electrolytes are connected by means of a salt bridge which is a junction that connects the electrolytic solution in the anode and cathode compartment. The salt bridge usually consists of a strong electrolyte like NaCl, KCl, Na₂SO₄, etc.

The electrolyte in the salt bridge serves two purposes: it completes the circuit by providing a path for electron flow and it maintains electrical neutrality in both solutions by allowing ions to migrate between them.

As the reaction proceeds in the given voltaic cell above, the Na₂SO₄ present in the salt bridge will dissociate into Na⁺ and SO₄²⁻ ions. As the copper ions in the solution are being deposited on the copper cathode as neutral copper atoms, the solution will become more negative, therefore the Na⁺ ions in the salt bridge will migrate into the the solution in order to maintain electrical neutrality. Also, at the anode, as the Mg metal dissolve into the solution as Mg⁺² ions, the  solution will tend to become more positive. Therefore, the SO₄²⁻ ions present in the salt bridge will migrate into the solution in order to maintain electrical neutrality.

Why can water pass through sandstrone but not through shale
Valentin [98]
It really depends on the 'type' of rock it is. By this I mean whether it's impermeable or permeable. Impermeable rocks don't allow water through and permeable rocks do. It has to do with how 'porous' a rock is: how many openings it has and how spaced apart are its particles are. Sandstone is permeable and Shale impermeable.

What volumes of 0.200 M HCOOH and 2.00 M NaOH would make 500. mL of a buffer with the same pH as one made from 475 mL of 0.200 M
Fed [463]

<u>36 ml of NaOh and</u><u> 464 ml</u><u> of </u><u>HCOOH</u><u> would be enough to form 500 ml of a buffer with the same pH as the buffer made with </u><u>benzoic acid </u><u>and NaOH.</u>

What is benzoic acid found in?

  • Some natural sources of benzoic acid include: ​Fruits:​ Apricots, prunes, berries, cranberries, peaches, kiwi, bananas, watermelon, pineapple, oranges.
  • ​Spices:​ Cinnamon, cloves, allspice, cayenne pepper, mustard seeds, thyme, turmeric, coriander.

Calculate the amount of moles in NaOH and benzoic acid. This calculation is done by multiplying molarity by volume.

Amount of moles of NaOH -2 × 0.025 =  0.05 mol

Amount of moles of benzoic acid 2 × 0.475 = 0.095 mol

In this case, we can calculate the pH produced by the buffer of these two reagents, as follows

pH = pKa + log\frac{base}{acid}

4.2 + log\frac{0.05}{0.045} = 4.245

We must repeat this calculation, with the values shown for HCOOH and NaOH. In this case, we can calculate as follows

pH = pKa + log\frac{base}{acid}

4.245 = 3.75 + log\frac{base}{acid}

log\frac{base}{acid} = 0.5

\frac{base}{acid} = 3.162

Now we must solve the equation above. This will be done using the following values

\frac{2(0.5 - x)}{0.2x - 2(0.5 - x)} = 0.464 L

With these values, we can calculate the volumes of NaOH and HCOOH needed to make the buffer.

NaOH volume

( 0.5 - 0.464)L

0.036L .................... 36ml

HCOOH volume

500 - 36 = 464mL
