Identify 3 characteristics that would be taken into consideration when evaluating any proposed site for a national repository of

nuclear waste.
Chemistry
1 answer:
Mashutka [201]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

  • Proximity to water bed/water source
  • Geographical isolation and barriers
  • unavailability of plant or any biosystem

Explanation:

A nuclear repository would be required to be isolated with barriers in place to keep people out. Ideally, it should be stored underground and away from any underlying waterways, or biosystems so as to avoid contamination. A good example would be the proposed Yucca Mountain repository.

I hope this was helpful and useful.

Menthol, the substance we can smell in mentholated cough drops, is composed of c, h, and o. a 9.045×10−2 −mg sample of menthol i
Ket [755]

Answer:

            Empirical Formula  =  C₁₀H₂₀O

Solution:

Data Given:

                      Mass of Menthol  =  9.045 × 10⁻² mg  =  9.045 × 10⁻⁵ g

                      Mass of CO₂  =  0.2546 mg  =  0.0002546 g

                      Mass of H₂O  =  0.1043 mg  =  0.0001043 g

Step 1: Calculate %age of Elements as;

                      %C  =  (mass of CO₂ ÷ Mass of sample) × (12 ÷ 44) × 100

                      %C  =  (0.0002546 ÷ 9.045 × 10⁻⁵) × (12 ÷ 44) × 100

                      %C  =  (2.814) × (12 ÷ 44) × 100

                      %C  =  2.814 × 0.2727 × 100

                      %C  =  76.73 %


                      %H  =  (mass of H₂O ÷ Mass of sample) × (2.02 ÷ 18.02) × 100

                      %H  =  (0.0001043 ÷ 9.045 × 10⁻⁵) × (2.02 ÷ 18.02) × 100

                      %H  =  (1.153) × (2.02 ÷ 18.02) × 100

                      %H  =  1.153 × 0.1120 × 100

                     %H  =  12.91 %


                      %O  =  100% - (%C + %H)

                      %O  =  100% - (76.73% + 12.91%)

                      %O  =  100% - 89.64%

                     %O  =  10.36 %

Step 2: Calculate Moles of each Element;

                      Moles of C  =  %C ÷ At.Mass of C

                      Moles of C  = 76.73 ÷ 12.01

                     Moles of C  =  6.3888 mol


                      Moles of H  =  %H ÷ At.Mass of H

                      Moles of H  = 12.91 ÷ 1.01

                      Moles of H  =  12.7821 mol


                      Moles of O  =  %O ÷ At.Mass of O

                      Moles of O  = 10.36 ÷ 16.0

                      Moles of O  =  0.6475 mol

Step 3: Find out mole ratio and simplify it;

                C                                        H                                     O

            6.3888                              12.7821                            0.6475

     6.3888/0.6475                  12.7821/0.6475                 0.6475/0.6475

               9.86                                   19.74                                   1

             ≈ 10                                      ≈ 20                                     1

Result:

         Empirical Formula  =  C₁₀H₂₀O₁

Which of the following statements is true about what happens during a chemical reaction?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer: The correct option is A.

Explanation: In a chemical reaction, reactants react to form a number of products.

For the formation of products, the bonds of the individual reactants must be broken and the bonds of the products must be formed.

For example: Formation of water from hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. Reaction follows:

2H_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)

The Bonds of hydrogen and oxygen molecule are broken and new bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms are formed to give water molecule.

An 80 kg long jumper in flight accelerates at a rate of 10 m/s^2. What is the force of the long jumper
Katarina [22]

Answer:

F = 800 N

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass = 80 Kg

Acceleration = 10 m/s²

Force = ?

Solution:

Formula:

<em>F = m × a </em>

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

Now we will put the values in formula:

<em>F = m × a </em>

F = 80 kg <em>× </em>10 m/s²

F = 800 kg.m/s²

kg.m/s² = N

F = 800 N
