Answer:

creation of radioactive wastes such as uranium mill tailings, spent (used) reactor fuel, and other radioactive wastes.

Explanation:

Nuclear energy produces radioactive waste

A major environmental concern related to nuclear power is the creation of radioactive wastes such as uranium mill tailings, spent (used) reactor fuel, and other radioactive wastes. These materials can remain radioactive and dangerous to human health for thousands of years.

Complete combustion of a 0.350 g sample of a compound in a bomb calorimeter releases 14.0 kJ of heat. The bomb calorimeter has a

dexar [7]

Answer:

Its final temperature is 25.8 °C

Explanation:

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

There is a direct proportional relationship between heat and temperature. The constant of proportionality depends on the substance that constitutes the body as on its mass, and is the product of the specific heat by the mass of the body. So, the equation that allows calculating heat exchanges is:

Q = c * m * ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation (ΔT=Tfinal-Tinitial)

When a body transmits heat there is another that receives it. This is the principle of the calorimeter. Then the heat released by the compound will be equal to the heat obtained by the calorimeter.

In this case, you know:

Q= 14 kJ= 14,000 J

c= 3.55 $\frac{J}{g*C}$

m=1.20 kg= 1200 g (1 kg=1000 g)
Tfinal= ?
Tinitial= 22.5 °C

Replacing:

$14,000 J= 3.55 \frac{J}{g*C}*1200 g*(Tfinal-22.5C)$

Solving:

$\frac{14,000J}{3.55\frac{J}{g*C} *1200 g} =T final - 22.5C$

3.3=Tfinal - 22.5 C

3.3 + 22.5=Tfinal

Tfinal= 25.8 °C

Its final temperature is 25.8 °C

4). One mole of monoclinic sulfur at 25C was placed in a constant-pressure calorimeter whose heat capacity (C) was 1620 J/K. T

andre [41]

Answer: The enthalpy change of the reaction is -243 J/mol

Explanation:

The heat released by the reaction is absorbed by the calorimeter and the solution.

The chemical equation used to calculate the heat released follows:

$q=c\times \Delta T$

where,

c = heat capacity of calorimeter = 1620 J/K

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature = $0.150^oC=0.150K$ (Change remains same)

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$q=1620J/K\times 0.15K=243J$

Sign convention of heat:

When heat is absorbed, the sign of heat is taken to be positive and when heat is released, the sign of heat is taken to be negative.

For the given chemical reaction:

$S\text{ (monoclinic)}\rightarrow S\text{ (orthorhombic)}$

We are given:

Moles of monoclinic sulfur = 1 mole

To calculate the enthalpy change of the reaction, we use the equation:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{q}{n}$

where,

q = amount of heat released = -243 J

n = number of moles = 1 mole

$\Delta H_{rxn}$ = enthalpy change of the reaction

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{-243J}{1mol}=-243J/mol$

Hence, the enthalpy change of the reaction is -243 J/mol

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can be reduced by _.*

pychu [463]

Answer:

As the use of plants as carbon sinks can be undone by events such as wildfires, the long-term reliability of these approaches has been questioned. Carbon dioxide that has been removed from the atmosphere can also be stored in the Earth's crust by injecting it into the subsurface, or in the form of insoluble carbonate salts (mineral sequestration).

15 points + brainliest pls help :(

Komok [63]

Answer:

27 g

Explanation:

M(C6H12O6) = 6*12 + 12*1 + 6*16 = 180 g/mol

100 mL = 0.1 L solution

1.5 M = 1.5 mol/L

1.5 mol/L * 0.1 L = 0.15 mol C6H12O6

0.15 mol * 180 g/1 mol = 27 g C6H12O6
