     Because they frequently have a long half-lives, therefore his stay in the middle is long.

Number 4

If you notice any mistake in my english, please let me know, because i am not native.

Answer: The correct answer is option (4)

Explanation:

Nuclear waste is a waste material left after the use of nuclear material in a nuclear reactor. The waste material left behind is higher in radio-activity that is the waste is radio-active in nature. This waste is highly toxic in nature.

Being possessed by radio-active nuclear substance they have long half-lives which allows them to be remain radioactive for extended periods of time.

Their ability to be remain radioactive for extended periods of time poses a great problem for the experts.

Now consider the reaction when 45.0 g NaOH have been added. What amount of NaOH is this, and what amount of FeCl3 can be consume
gayaneshka [121]

The correct answer is that 1.125 mol of NaOH is available, and 60.75 g of FeCl₃ can be consumed.

The mass of NaOH is 45 g

The molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

The moles of NaOH = mass / molar mass

= 45 / 40

= 1.125

Thus, 1.125 mol NaOH is available

3 NaOH + FeCl₃ ⇒ Fe (OH)₃ + 3NaCl

3 mol of NaOH react with 1 mol of FeCl₃

1.125 moles of NaOH will react with x moles of FeCl₃

x = 1.125 / 3

x = 0.375 mol

0.375 mol FeCl₃ can take part in reaction

The molar mass of FeCl₃ is 162 g/mol

The mass of FeCl₃ = moles × mass

= 0.375 × 162

= 60.75 g

Thus, the amount of FeCl₃, which can be consumed is 60.75 g

10. A solution contains 130 grams of KNO3 dissolved in 100 grams of water When 3 more grams of KNO3 is added, none of it dissolv
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

We will check the solubility graph for potassium nitrate,  KNO 3. Based on the graph it can be said that the temperature of solution when 130 grams of KNO3 dissolves in 100 grams of water is near to 65 degree Celsius. Now if three grams of solute is increased then the temperature of the solution will increase by a degree or so and hence the most probable temperature would be 68 degree Celsius.

Hence, option B is correct

6. From the values of ΔH and ΔS, predict which of the following reactions would be spontaneous at 25ºC: Reaction A: ΔH = 10.5 kJ
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Both reaction A and reaction B are non spontaneous.

Explanation:

For a spontaneous reaction, change in gibbs free energy (\Delta G) should be negative.

We know, \Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S, where T is temperature in Kelvin scale.

Reaction A: \Delta G=(10.5\times 10^{3})-(298\times 30)J/mol=1560J/mol

As \Delta G is positive therefore the reaction is non-spontaneous.

If at a temperature T K , the reaction is spontaneous then-

\Delta H-T\Delta S< 0

or, T> \frac{\Delta H}{\Delta S}

or, T> \frac{10.5\times 10^{3}}{30}

or, T> 350

So at a temperature greater than 350 K, the reaction is spontaneous.

Reaction B: \Delta G=(1.8\times 10^{3})-(-113\times 298)J/mol=35474J/mol

As \Delta G is positive therefore the reaction is non-spontaneous.

If at a temperature T K , the reaction is spontaneous then-

\Delta H-T\Delta S< 0

or, T> \frac{\Delta H}{\Delta S}

or, T> \frac{1.8\times 10^{3}}{-113}

or, T> -16

So at a temperature greater than -16 K, the reaction is spontaneous.

Kisachek [45]
<span>1.05 g/ml * 1000 ml = 1050g/l because of 1g/ml = 1 kg/l so, a/q mass of 4.7 l of whole blood in pound = 4.7 * 1050 = 4935 g so in pound 4935g = 10.87981p</span>
