How does a nuclear reactor produce electricity

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

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. Nuclear power plants use heat produced during nuclear fission to heat water. The heat produced during nuclear fission in the reactor core is used to boil water into steam, which turns the blades of a steam turbine. As the turbine blades turn, they drive generators that make electricity

Identify the total number of moles involved in the reaction
2C4H10(g) + 13 O2(g) – 10 H2O(g) + 8 CO2(g)

Answers

Answer:

33 moles

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction is 2C₄H₁₀(g) + 13 O₂(g) → 10H₂O(g) + 8CO₂(g)

The number of moles of each reactant are as follows;

Butane, C₄H₁₀ = 2 moles of (g) + 13 (g) → 10H₂O(g) + 8CO₂(g)

Oxygen gas, O₂ = 13 moles

Water, H₂O = 10 moles

Carbon dioxide, CO₂ = 8 moles

The total number of moles, n = (2 + 13 + 10 + 8) = 33

∴ The total number of moles involved in the reaction, n = 33 moles.

The formula for calclum chloride Is CaCl2. Which argument best describes the type of chemical bond that was formed between the calcium and chlorine atoms? An lonic bond because calcium is sharing its electrons with the chlorine. A covalent bond because calclum is transferring its electrons to the chlorine. A covalent bond because calcium is sharing its electrons with the chlorine. An lonic bond because calcium is transferring Its electrons to the chlorine.

Answers

Answer:

An lonic bond because calcium is transferring Its electrons to the chlorine.

Explanation:

Metals usually form compounds with non-metals through ionic bonding.

Metals are electropositive elements which form ions by the loss of electrons, whereas non-metals are electronegative elements which form ions by the gain of electrons.

Compounds are formed when two or more elements combine together. The formation of compounds involves formation of bonds which may be either ionic or covalent bonds.

The type of bonding that exists between the a metallic calcium atoms and non-metallic chlorine atoms in calcium chloride, CaCl₂, is ionic bonding. In the process of formation of the compound, calcium atoms which have a valency of 2 readily donates their two valence electrons to chlorine atoms to form calcium ions, Ca²+. Each chlorine atoms having a valency of 1 accepts an electron to form chloride ions Cl-. Two chlorine atoms accept the two electrons donated by a calcium ion. Due to strong electrostatic forces of attraction between the calcium ion and the two chloride ions, the ionic compound CaCl₂ is formed.

Explanation:

When white light strikes an object, each individual frequency of light is transmitted, reflected, or absorbed, depending on the properties of the surface molecules. If all frequencies are absorbed by the object, then it appears black. If all frequencies are reflected, then it appears white.

A red object is red when white light falls upon it because it absorbs all the components of white light with the exception of the red component which is scattered.

Once upon a time, a mother duckling sat on her eggs with great impatience. How long would it be before they hatched? Finally, one summer day, the mother duckling watched as the eggs cracked, and her cute, yellow ducklings waddled into the world. She was filled with joy until she noticed that one egg, which was larger than all of the others, remained. After many hours, the egg cracked. A large, gray duckling emerged. The mother duck was horrified at the duckling's appearance. The mother duck's only comfort was that the ugly duckling could swim and dive under the water.

As the ugly duckling grew, many animals in the pond criticized him. His feathers were too dark, his neck was too long, and his body was too big. His fellow ducklings refused to recognize that underneath the feathers, the ugly duckling was kind, good, and gentle. The ugly duckling shed many tears because none of the other animals would play with him.

Read this excerpt from the fairy tale The Princess and the Pea.

One evening, there was a terrible storm. The wind howled, thunder shook the stone walls, and lightning filled the dark night sky. Through the pelting of the rain, there came a knock at the door. When the king opened the door, he saw a bedraggled girl, soaked to the skin and covered in mud. He ushered her into the castle so that she could warm herself by the fire.

"Why is a young servant girl like you wandering about on such a ferocious night?" queried the king.

The disheveled maiden looked at the king in disbelief. "I am a princess, come to see the prince," she explained, all the while shivering.

The king summoned his wife, the queen, for advice. The queen looked at the hideous creature in disbelief, thinking that no princess would ever allow herself to be found in such a state.

Answers

Answer:a)No of moles of Aluminium=0.4703

b)number of aluminum atoms=2.832 x 10^23 atoms

Explanation:

a)Given that The Amount/ Mass of Aluminum is 12.69g

We know that

No of moles =Mass/ Molar mass

Molar mass of Aluminium, Al is 26.982 g/mol

No of moles =12.69g/26.982 g/mol

No of moles =0.4703

Also

b) 1  mole of aluminium must contain  6.022  x 10^23  atoms of aluminium  

which is  known as Avogadro's constant.

Therefore, 0.4703 moles will contain 0.4703 x  6.022  x 10^23  atoms =2.832 x 10^23 atoms

b. 3.022 x 1023 molecules S,

c. 4.302 x 10 molecules S

d. 8.203 x 10' molecules S2

Answers

Answer: There are [tex]2.032 \times 10^{25}[/tex] molecules [tex]S_{2}[/tex] gas are in 756.2 L.

Explanation:

It is known that 1 mole of any gas equals 22.4 L at STP. Hence, number of  moles present in 756.2 L are calculated as follows.

[tex]Mole = \frac{Volume}{22.4 L}\\= \frac{756.2 L}{22.4 L}\\= 33.76 mol[/tex]

According to mole concept, 1 mole of every substance contains [tex]6.022 \times 10^{23}[/tex] molecules.

Therefore, molecules of S present in 33.76 moles are calculated as follows.

[tex]1 mol = 6.022 \times 10^{23}\\33.76 mol = 33.76 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\\= 2.032 \times 10^{25}[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that there are [tex]2.032 \times 10^{25}[/tex] molecules [tex]S_{2}[/tex] gas are in 756.2 L.

Answers

Answer:

88,88 % de O y 11,11 % de H

Explanation:

La composición porcentual se define como la masa que hay de cada mol de átomo en 100g. Las moles de agua en 100g son:

Masa molar agua:

2H = 2*1g/mol = 2g/mol

1O = 1*16g/mol = 16g/mol

Masa molar = 2 + 16 = 18g/mol

100g H2O * (1mol / 18g) = 5.556 moles H2O.

Moles de hidrógeno:

5.556 moles H2O * (2mol H / 1mol H2O) = 11.11 moles H

Moles Oxígeno = Moles H2O = 5.556 moles

La masa de hidrógeno es:

11.11mol * (1g/mol) 11.11g H

La masa de oxígeno es:

5.556 mol * (16g / 1mol) = 88.89g O

Así, el porcentaje de O es 88.89% y el de H es 11.11%. La opción correcta es:

88,88 % de O y 11,11 % de H

The titration should be stopped when the solution in the flask changes color and the new color remains even when the solution is gently shaken. True False​

Answers

The above given statement is true.

What is solution?

A homogeneous mixture comprised of two or more components is referred to as a solution. Because they are consistently scattered at the molecular or ionic level, the components in a solution are evenly mixed and have a constant composition.

Until the reaction between the two solutions is complete, a solution of known concentration is gradually added to a solution of unknown concentration in a titration. The endpoint, or point at which the reaction is finished, is often identified by a color change that takes place after an indicator is added to the solution being titrated.

The reaction has achieved its endpoint when the solution in the flask changes color, and the new color persists even after the solution is gently shaken. At this time, the titration should be halted. By doing this, it is possible to precisely determine the concentration of the unknown solution and the volume of titrant added to the solution.

A. Li= 5.6 g O2= 6.4 g
B. Li 6.5 g O2= 4.6 g
C. Li= 0.6 g O2 46.4 g
D. Li= 15.6 g O2 6.4 g

Answers

Answer:

A. Li= 5.6 g O2= 6.4 g

Explanation:

Lithium oxide, Li2O, is an oxide that contains 2 moles of Li and 1 mole of O per mole of oxide. To solve this question we must find the mass of each atom in the molecule as follows:

2Li = 2*6.941g/mol = 13.882g/mol

O = 1*16g/mol = 16g/mol

Molar mass Li2O:

16+13.882 = 29.882g/mol

The mass of lithium is:

12g * (13.882g/mol / 29.882g/mol) = 5.6g Li

And the mass of oxygen:

12g * (16g/mol / 29.882g/mol) = 6.4g O

Right answer is:

A. Li= 5.6 g O2= 6.4 g
