The process of mining uranium is no different than the process of mining coal, or other minerals. This process produces waste that can enter bodies of water, destroys habitats, and contributes to pollution. Other aspects of the process of using nuclear energy have potential environmental impacts, but none as great as the actual mining and processing of the uranium ore.

The process of uranium mining generates what is called uranium tailings. These are the waste by products of uranium mining. Tailings contain the radioactive decay products of the uranium atom and these products are quite radioactive. Radioactive particles found in tailings can emit anywhere from twenty to one hundred times as much radiation as the natural levels at natural uranium deposits. These radioactive byproducts can lead to cancer if exposed.

A compound is 2.00% H by mass, 32.7% S by mass, and 65.3% O by mass. What is its empirical formula? The second step is to calcul
Free_Kalibri [48]
Lets take 100 g of this compound,
so it is going to be 2.00 g H, 32.7 g S and 65.3 g O.

2.00 g H *1 mol H/1.01 g H ≈ 1.98 mol H
32.7 g S *1 mol S/ 32.1 g S ≈ 1.02 mol S
65.3 g O * 1 mol O/16.0 g O ≈ 4.08 mol O

1.98 mol H : 1.02 mol S : 4.08 mol O = 2 mol H : 1 mol S : 4 mol O

It requires 0.0780L of a 0.12 M HCl solution to completely neutralize 0.0280L of an unknown LiOH solution. What is the concentra
kari74 [83]

Answer:

C₂ = 0.334 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of HCl  = 0.0780 L

Concentration of HCl = 0.12 M

Volume of LiOH = 0.0280 L

Concentration of LiOH = ?

Solution:

Formula:

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

C₁ = Concentration of HCl

V₁ = Volume of HCl

C₂ = Concentration of LiOH

V₂ = Volume of LiOH

Now we will put the values in formula.

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

0.12 M × 0.0780 L =  C₂ × 0.0280 L

0.00936  M.L = C₂ × 0.0280 L

C₂ = 0.00936 M.L/0.0280 L

C₂ = 0.334 M

When 2.36g of a nonvolatile solute is dissolved in 100g of solvent, the largest change in freezing point will be achieved when t
nignag [31]

Answer:

Option c → Tert-butanol

Explanation:

To solve this, you have to apply the concept of colligative property. In this case, freezing point depression.

The formula is:

ΔT = Kf . m . i

When we add particles of a certain solute, temperature of freezing of a solution will be lower thant the pure solvent.

i = Van't Hoff factor (ions particles that are dissolved in the solution)

At this case, the solute is nonvolatile, so i values 1.

ΔT = Difference between  fussion T° of pure solvent - fussion T° of solution.

T° fussion paradichlorobenzene = 56 °C

T° fussion water = 0°

T° fussion tert-butanol = 25°

Water has the lowest fussion temperature and the paradichlorobenzene has the highest Kf. But the the terbutanol, has the highest Kf so this solvent will have the largest change in freezing point, when all the molalities are the same.

What mass of boron sulfide must be processed with 2.1 x 10 4g of carbon to yield 3.11 x 10 4 g of boron and 1.47 x 10 5 g of car
Basile [38]

The reaction between boron sulfide and carbon is given as:

2B2S3 + 3C → 4B + 3CS2

As per the law of conservation of mass, for any chemical reaction the total mass of reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products.

Given data:

Mass of C = 2.1 * 10^ 4 g

Mass of B = 3.11*10^4 g

Mass of CS2 = 1.47*10^5

Mass of B2S3 = ?

Now based on the law of conservation of mass:

Mass of B2S3 + mass C = mass of B + mass of CS2

Mass of B2S3 + 2.1 * 10^ 4 = 3.11*10^4 + 1.47*10^5

Mass of B2S3 = 15.7 * 10^4 g

A gas occupies a volume of 72 ml at 400 k and 800 torr. if the temperature drops to 200 k and the pressure changes to 400 torr,
satela [25.4K]
We are tasked to solve for the volume of the gas that occupies when pressure and temperature changes to 400 Torr and 200 Kelvin from Torr and 400 Kelvin. We can use ideal gas law assuming constant gas composition and close system. The solution is shown below:
P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2
V2 = P1V1T2 / T1P2
V2 = 800*72*200 / 400*400
V2 = 72 ml

The answer for the volume is 72 ml.
