Is nuclear energy poised to be part of America’s future?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Nuclear energy powers our businesses, homes and military. America’s 95 operating nuclear reactors generate approximately 20% of our nation’s electricity and provide over half of our carbon-free energy. They also create good-paying jobs at power plants and uranium mines. Wyoming produced 87% of America’s domestic uranium supply in 2018.

Today, nuclear energy faces serious hurdles. Regulatory costs and subsidies for renewable energy technologies are forcing America’s nuclear power plants to close at an alarming rate.

Russia and China are subsidizing their government-owned nuclear companies to assert their energy influence around the world. China is searching the globe for uranium reserves and investing heavily in the countries where it’s found. They want to secure more nuclear fuel for themselves and increase their control of the global supply.

Meanwhile, American nuclear power plants have come to rely on cheap Russian imports of uranium to meet their nuclear fuel needs. Right now, roughly 40% of the uranium coming into the United States originates in Russia or its satellite states of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Russian-backed companies are developing fuel that can be placed directly in American reactors.

if you had 15 moles of Oxygen (O2), how many moles of water (H2O) would you be able to make?

Answers

Answer:

30 moles of water will produced.

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of O₂ react = 15 mol

Number of moles of water formed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂      →     2H₂O

Now we will compare the moles of water with oxygen.

                  O₂           :          H₂O

                   1             :            2

                   15           :           2×15 = 30 mol

30 moles of water will produced.

in which of the following is the symbol for the ion and the number of electrons it contains given correctly? *

Answers

Answer:Number of electrons that are present in an atom is determined by the electronic configuration of that atom.

If an ion is carrying a positive charge, it means that the atom has lost electrons and if an ion is carrying a negative charge, it means that the atom has gained electrons.

For the given options:

Option A: The atomic number of hydrogen atom is 1 and the electronic configuration for  ion will be:  

Thus, this atom does not have any electrons.

Option B: The atomic number of bromine atom is 35 and the electronic configuration for  ion will be:  

Thus, this atom has 36 electrons.

Option C: The atomic number of aluminium atom is 13 and the electronic configuration for  ion will be:

What is the concentration of a stock solution if 20 mL was used to make 400 mL of a 1.44
M solution?
30 M
40 M
50 M
5M

Answers

Given :

Volume of stock solution, [tex]V_s = 20\ mL[/tex].

Volume of diluted solution, [tex]V_d = 400 \ mL[/tex].

Molarity of diluted solution, [tex]M_d = 1.44\ M[/tex].

To Find :

The concentration of the stock solution.

Solution :

We know, dilution factor is given by :

[tex]D.F=\dfrac{V_ {diluted}}{V_{stock}}[/tex]      ....1)

and [tex]D.F= \dfrac{M_{stock}}{M_{diluted}}[/tex]     ....2)

Putting volume in above equation, we get :

D.F = 400/20

D.F = 20

Putting value of D.F in equation 2) we get :

[tex]\dfrac{M_{stock}}{M_{diluted}} = 20\\\\M_{stock} = 20\times 1.44\\\\M_{stock} =28.8\ M[/tex]

The concentration of stock solution is nearest to 30 M.

Therefore, the correct option is 1) 30 M.

You have a shiny metal disc that weighs 1.31 kg that you want to find out what its made of. When you put the disc into a graduated cylinder with 5L in it, you see that the water level rose by about 125 mL. You have a list of densities for various shiny metals: silver= 10.5 g/ mL, nickel= 8.9 g/mL, titanium = 4.5 g/mL, and rhodium = 10.7 g/ mL. What is the disc made of?

Answers

Answer:

The disc is made of silver.

Explanation:

To solve this question we need to calculate the metal's density. To do so we need its mass (already given by the problem, 1.31 kg) and its volume.

Following Archimedes' principle, the volume of water displaced by the disk is equal to the disk's volume. This means the metal's volume is 125 mL.

Now we convert 1.31 kg into g, to better compare with the given options:

1.31 kg * 1000 = 1310 g

Finally we calculate the metal's density:

Density = Mass / VolumeDensity = 1310 g / 125 mL = 10.48 g/mL

Looking at the densities given by the problem, the closest one is silver.

Rubidium is a soft, silvery-white metal that has two common isotopes, 85Rb and 87Rb. If the abundance of 85Rb is 80% and the abundance of 87Rb is 19.8%, what is the average atomic mass of Rubidium?

Answers

The average atomic mass of Rubidium : 85.226 u

Further explanation  

Isotopes are atoms whose no-atom has the same number of protons while still having a different number of neutrons.  

So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)  

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes  

In determining the mass of an atom, as a standard is the mass of 1 carbon-12 atom whose mass is 12 amu  

Mass atom X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.%  

The abundance of 85Rb is 80% and the abundance of 87Rb is 19.8%, so the average atomic mass of Rubidium :

[tex]\tt the~average~atomic~mass=0.8\times 85+0.198\times 87\\\\the~average~atomic~mass=\boxed{\bold{85.226~u}}[/tex]
