How does a nuclear reactor produce electricity?

Chemistry
1 answer:
aleksley [76]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Nuclear reactors are the heart of a nuclear power plant. They contain and control nuclear chain reactions that produce heat through a physical process called fission. That heat is used to make steam that spins a turbine to create electricity

Assume that the density and heat of combustion of E85 can be obtained by using 85 % of the values for ethanol and 15 % of the va
Alika [10]

Answer:

87.4 J

Explanation:

The density of the gasoline is 0.70 g/mL, and the density of the ethanol is 0.79 g/mL. The heat combustions (the heat released in a combustion reaction) are 5,400 kJ/mol for gasoline, and 1,370 kJ/mol for ethanol.

For 3.5 L of E85, the volumes of gasoline and ethanol are:

Vgasoline = 0.15 * 3.5 = 0.525 L = 5.25x10⁻⁴ mL

Vethanol= 0.85 * 3.5 = 2.975 L = 2.975x10⁻³ mL

The mass of gasoline and ethanol presented in that sample of E85 is the volume multiplied by the density:

mgasoline = 5.25x10⁻⁴ * 0.70 = 3.675x10⁻⁴ g

methanol = 2.975x10⁻³ * 0.79 = 2.35025x10⁻³ g

The number of moles for each substance is it mass divided by its molar mass. The molar masses are 114 g/mol for gasoline, and 46 g/mol for ethanol:

ngasoline = 3.675x10⁻⁴/114 = 3.224x10⁻⁶ mol

nethanol = 2.35025x10⁻³ /46 = 5.109x10⁻⁵ mol

The energy released is the heat combustion multiplied by the number of moles, so:

Egasoline = 5,400 * 3.224x10⁻⁶ = 0.0174 kJ = 17.4 J

Eethanol = 1,370 * 5.109x10⁻⁵ = 0.07 kJ = 70 J

So, the energy released by the E85 is the sum of the energy released by ethanol and gasoline:

The energy released by E85 = 87.4 J

Which of the following is an important difference between climate and weather?
ANEK [815]

A

Explanation:

Weather can be defined as the day-to-day changes in the atmospheric parameters like temperatures, humidity,  rainfall, and pressure. When these weather changes are observed for approximately over 30 years, the climate of the regions can be determined by understanding the patterns.

How many milligrams of sugar are in a teaspoon of sugar
grigory [225]

Answer 2325 milligrams.

Explanation:The unit is abbreviated as tsp. Convert Milligrams (mg) to Teaspoons (tsp): 1 mg is approximately equal to 0.0002 tsps. One milligram is a relatively small quantity of table sugar A mere one-teaspoon of granulated sugar contains some 2325 milligrams. Yay wiki

The Lewis diagram for BH2 is:
Luda [366]

Answer:

Electron pair geometry- trigonal planar

There is one lone pair around the boron atom

The geometry of BH2 is bent

Explanation:

The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory offers a frame work for determining the shape of molecules based on the number of electron pairs of the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.

In BH2-, the central atom is boron. There is a lone pair on boron. Owing to the lone pair on boron, the molecular geometry of BH2 is bent.
