Answer:Uranium

80 years

To make that nuclear reaction that makes that heat, those uranium pellets are the fuel. And just like any fuel, it gets used up eventually. Your 12-foot-long fuel rod full of those uranium pellet, lasts about six years in a reactor, until the fission process uses that uranium fuel up.

Transuranic wastes, sometimes called TRU, account for most of the radioactive hazard remaining in high-level waste after 1,000 years. Radioactive isotopes eventually decay, or disintegrate, to harmless materials. Some isotopes decay in hours or even minutes, but others decay very slowly.

A gas sample occupies 8.77 L at 20 degrees Celsius and 3.98 atm. What is
Softa [21]

Answer:

1.45 mol

Explanation:

Given data

  • Volume of the gas (V): 8.77 L
  • Temperature of the gas (T): 20 °C
  • Pressure of the gas (P): 3.98 atm

Step 1: Calculate the absolute temperature (Kelvin)

We will use the following expression.

K = \°C + 273.15\\K = 20\°C + 273.15 = 293K

Step 2: Calculate the number of moles (n) of the gaseous sample

We will use the ideal gas equation.

P \times V = n \times R \times T\\n = \frac{P \times V}{R \times T} = \frac{3.98atm \times 8.77L}{\frac{0.0821atm.L}{mol.K}  \times 293K} = 1.45 mol

How are objects charged by friction
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

When insulating materials rub against each other, they may become electrically charged . Electrons , which are negatively charged, may be 'rubbed off' one material and on to the other. The material that gains electrons becomes negatively charged

C12H22O11 + 12O2 ---> 12CO2 + 11H2O
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Oxygen is the limiting reactant.

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + 12O₂ → 12CO₂ + 11H₂O

<em>1 mole of sucrose reacts with 12 moles of oxygen to produce 12 moles of CO₂ and 11 moles of H₂O.</em>

<em />

10.0g of sucrose (Molar mass: 342.3g /mol) are:

10.0g C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ × (1mole / 342.3g) = 0.0292 moles of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁

And moles of 10.0g of oxygen (Molar mass: 32g/mol) are:

10.0g O₂ × (1mole / 32g) = 0.3125 moles of O₂

For a complete reaction of 0.0292 moles of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ you need (knowing 12 moles of oxygen react per mole of sucrose):

0.0292 moles of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ × (12 moles O₂ / 1 mole C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) = <em>0.3504 moles of O₂</em>

As you have just 0.3125 moles of O₂, <em>oxygen is the limiting reactant.</em>
