Which is not a reason that water is used to store spent fuel rods from nuclear power plants?

How many Joules are released to cool 250.0 grams of liquid water from 100°C to 0°C? The specific heat of water is 4.180 J/g.C.

nlexa [21]

$\bold{\huge{\orange{\underline{ Solution}}}}$

$\bold{\underline{ Given :- }}$

We have 250g of liquid water and it needs to be cool at temperature from 100° C to 0° C
Specific heat of water is 4.180J/g°C

$\bold{\underline{ To \: Find :- }}$

We have to find the total number of joules released.

$\bold{\underline{ Let's \:Begin:- }}$

We know that,

Amount of heat energy = mass * specific heat * change in temperature

That is, 

$\sf{\red{ Q = mcΔT }}$

Subsitute the required values in the above formula :-

$\sf{ Q = 250 × 4.180 ×(0 - 100 )}$

$\sf{ Q = 250 × 4.180 × - 100 }$

$\sf{ Q = 250 × - 418}$

$\sf{\pink{ Q = - 104,500 J }}$

Hence, 104,500 J of heat is released to cool 250 grams of liquid water from 100° C to 0° C.

$\bold{\underline{ Now :- }}$

We have to tell whether the above process is endothermic or exothermic :-

Here, In the above process ΔT is negative and as a result of it Q is also negative that means above process is Exothermic

Exothermic process :- It is the process in which heat is evolved .
Endothermic process :- It is the process in which heat is absorbed .

Which of the following contains properties of magnesium, Mg?

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Option B. Malleable, Conductor, High melting point, Lustrous

Explanation:

Mg has a higher melting point because of the strong electrostatic force of attraction between the magnesium ions (Mg^2+). The rest properties listed are all general properties of metals

Gas chromatography can be useful in determining what about paint?

dexar [7]

Gas chromatography is a type of chromatography that is usually used in analytic chemistry in order to analyze and separate the compounds that can be vaporized without decomposition.

Based on this:
Gas chromatography can be useful in determining the chemical composition of paint.

The normal freezing point of water is 0.00 ⁰C. What is the freezing point of a solution containing450.0 mg of ethylene glycol (M

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Freezing T° of solution = - 8.98°C

Explanation:

We apply Freezing point depression to solve this problem, the colligative property that has this formula:

Freezing T° of pure solvent - Freezing T° of solution = Kf . m

Kf = 1.86°C/m, this is a constant which is unique for each solvent. In this case, we are using water

m = molality (moles of solute / 1kg of solvent)

We convert the mass of solvent from g to kg

1.5 g . 1kg/1000g = 0.0015 kg

We convert the mass of solute, to moles. Firstly we make this conversion, from mg to g → 450mg . 1g/1000mg = 0.450 g

0.450 g. 1mol / 62.07g = 7.25×10⁻³ moles

Molality → 7.25×10⁻³ mol / 0.0015 kg = 4.83 m

- Freezing T° of solution = 1.86°C /m . 4.83 m - Freezing T° of pure solvent

-Freezing T° of solution = 1.86°C /m . 4.83 m - 0°C

Freezing T° of solution = - 8.98°C

Which of these energy resources are renewable? Select all that apply.

xz_007 [3.2K]

The correct options are option B and D, that is, wind power and geothermal energy.

The form of energy which is gathered from renewable resources is known as renewable energy. This form of energy gets restocked on a human timescale like wind, sunlight, tides, waves, rain, and geothermal heat.

Renewable energy usually provides energy in four essential fields, that is, air and water heating/cooling, electricity generation, rural energy services, and transportation.
