If 100g of nuclear waste Pu-239 is generated in a nuclear reactor, how long will it take to reduce down to 6.75g of Pu-239?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

See below...

Explanation:

6.79 = 100 ( 1/2)^n    solve for n = number of half lives

3.88 half lives

3.88 * 24000 = 93 130.7 years

Carbon Dioxide's Effects on Temperature (Edmentum)

Task 2:

Carbon Dioxide's Effects on Temperature


In this activity, you will use sodium bicarbonate tablets to see the effects of carbon dioxide on temperature. Sodium bicarbonate tablets are effervescent tablets that release carbon dioxide when dissolved in water.


Estimated time to complete: 1 hour

You will need these materials:


2 empty two-liter plastic bottles (or two similar-sized plastic containers with tight-sealing lids), rinsed

2 thermometers (not mercury)

1 liter of water, room temperature

a ball of clay, about 2 inches in diameter (needed only if you’re using two-liter plastic bottles)

2 sodium bicarbonate tablets (such as Alka-Seltzer)

a lamp with a 150-watt incandescent bulb (if direct sunlight is not available)

Follow these steps to set up the experiment. Then answer the question in part A.


Fill both bottles with water until they are half full.

In one bottle, place two sodium bicarbonate tablets.

Plug the opening of the two bottles tightly with clay. The clay will act as the cap.

Place one thermometer in each bottle by carefully piercing it through the clay, so that the thermometer dangles in the air inside the bottle. Stay safe: do not use mercury thermometers in the event that they might break. The bottles must remain tightly sealed. The thermometer must not touch the water.

Put both bottles in front of the lamp or in direct sunlight. Turn on the lamp and let the bottles stand for one hour. Stay safe: To avoid electrocution, keep all water away from electrical sources.

Hypothesis and Data Collection


Part A

Write down your predictions. After an hour, do you think there will be a temperature difference between the two bottles? Explain.
















Part B

After one hour, record the temperatures. Write down your results.
















Analyze and Extend

Part A

Was your prediction about the temperatures in the two bottles correct? Explain.
















Part B

In your experiment, what is the dependent variable and what is the independent variable?
















Part C

The tablets were a source of carbon dioxide. What can you conclude about the effect carbon dioxide has in the atmosphere?
















Part D

The burning of fossil fuels, such as gasoline, coal, and oil, increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Based on your experiment, what effects could this burning have on Earth’s temperature?
















Part E

Mary is concerned about greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. She wants to buy an electric car that doesn’t use gasoline at all. What questions should Mary ask about electric cars to ensure that she is making a good choice for the environment?

Answers

Answer:

“You Asked” is a series where Earth Institute experts tackle reader questions on science and sustainability. Over the past few years, we’ve received a lot of questions about carbon dioxide — how it traps heat, how it can have such a big effect if it only makes up a tiny percentage of the atmosphere, and more. With the help of Jason Smerdon, a climate scientist at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, we answer several of those questions here.

O d.
1.6 x 1025 molecules
e. 1.7 x 1025 molecules

Answers

Answer:

B, 2.22×10^22 molecules

Explanation:

Given PV=nRT, n=PV/RT

n=103.7×1.0/8.314×(65+273.15)

= 0.0368858... moles

Given n= number of particles/avogadros number

number of particles=n×avogadros number

number of particles = 0.03688...×6.02x10^23

= 2.22×10^22 molecules

How much energy is needed to raise the temperature of 15.21 g of a substance with a specific heat of 1.65 J/g°C from 137.0 °C to 234.3 °C?

Answers

Answer:

2441.9 Joules

Explanation:

This is a sensible heat change problem.

Energy = Specific Heat Capacity x Mass x Change in Temperature

To find the change in temperature, you need to use this formula: Temperature Final - Temperature Initial.

234.3 - 137.0 = 97.3

Energy = 1.65 x 15.21 x 97.3

Multiply that equation, and you get your answer! I hope this helps!

What is the molarity of the 8.76 g of Na2S dissolved in 0.500 L of solution?

Answers

Answer:

.224 M

Explanation:

To begin, we need to find the molar mass of Na2S

Na=22.99g, S=78.05g2(22.99)+1(32.07)=78.05

To find Molarity, we use the equation M=moles/Liters of solution

We are given grams, so we must divide by the molar mass of Na2S to find moles.

8.76g Na2S / 78.05g/mol Na2S= .112 moles

Now we use our Molarity equation:

.112 moles Na2S / .500L of solution = .224 M

How many moles are in 7.8 g of acetamide, CH3CONH2?

Answers

Answer:

.13 moles

Explanation:

To begin this problem:

First you need to find the molar mass of acetamide, to do so:

C=12g, H=1.008g, O=16g, and N=14g2(12)+5(1.008)+1(16)+1(14)=59.04

To find moles when given grams, we divide grams by the molar mass.

7.8g/59.04g/mol=.13 moles

A particle has a velocity that is 70 % of the speed of light and weighs 206.8 times the mass of an electron. Find the wavelength of this particle?

Answers

Speed of light = 3x10^8 m/s
Mass of electron = 9.11x10^-31 kg

70% of 3x10^8 = 2.1x10^8 m/s
206.8*9.11x10^-31 = 1.88x10^-28 kg

Equation for wavelength is: wavelength= plancks constant / (mass*velocity)

Plancks constant = 6.62x10^-34 m^2 kg/s

Plug all of these in and you get: 6.62x10^-34 / (1.88x10^-28/2.1x10^8) = 739.47

Your answer is 739.47 m

is available. How many milliliters of the stock solution are required to make the solution needed for the lab?
120 mL

Answers

Answer: Because percent solutions can be expressed in three different ways, it is imperative that the type of percent solution be explicitly stated. If this information is not provided, the end user is left to "guess" whether w/v %, w/w %, or v/v % was used. Each percent solution is appropriate for a number of different applications. For example, commercial aqueous reagents, such as concentrated acids and bases, are typically expressed as weight/weight % solutions. For example, commercially available concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl) is 37% by weight (w/w %). On the other hand, many dilute solutions used for biological research are expressed as weight/volume % (e.g., 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS). Volume/volume % solutes are also common, and are used when pure solutes in liquid form are used. For example, a 70 % (v/v) solution of ethanol can be prepared by dissolving 70 mL of 100% (i.e., 200 proof) ethanol in a total solution volume of 100 mL.

A Student Mixes 40. ML Of 0.10 M HBr(Aq) With 60. ML Of 0.10 M KOH(Aq) At 25°C. What Is The [OH-] Of The Resulting Solution?

Answers

After the complete neutralization reaction occurs, excess hydroxide ion is left unreacted and concentration of the hydroxide ion, [OH-] is 0.02 M.

What is the concentration of the hydroxide ion, [OH-]?

The hydroxide ion concentration is the amount in moles of hydroxide ion in a solution.

The hydroxide ion concentration is written as [OH-].

The equation of the reaction is given below:

[tex]HBr(aq) + KOH(aq) \rightarrow KBr(aq) + H_2O(l) \\ [/tex]

1 mole of HBr reacts with 1 mole of KOH

Moles of HBr = 40 mL × 0.1 M = 4 mmmoles

Moles of KOH = 60 mL × 0.1 M = 6 mmoles

Moles of [OH-] = 6 - 4 = 2 mmoles

Volume of solution = 100 mL

[OH-] = 2mmoles/100 mL = 0.02 M

Therefore, the concentration of the hydroxide ion, [OH-] is 0.02 M.

a) Is ethanoic acid a weak electrolyte or a strong electrolyte, give a reason for your answer. Show the dissociation of ethanoic acid in water.

Answers

Answer:

Acetic acid is a weak electrolyte because its dissociation constant is small meaning there will be few ions in solution to conduct electricity.

Weak electrolyte are very less or partially ionized and strong electrolytes are completely ionized or 100% ionized. Ethanoic acid is weak electrolyte.

How to determine whether a acid is weak or strong electrolyte ?

To determine whether the acid is strong electrolyte or weak electrolyte check whether it is completely ionize or partially ionized. The molecular formula of ethanoic is [tex]CH_3COOH[/tex] and ethanoic acid is also called acetic acid. Ethanoic acid is weak electrolyte because it does not dissociate very much.

The dissociation of ethanoic acid in water:

[tex]CH_{3}COOH_{(aq)} + H_{2} O_{(l)}[/tex] ⇄ [tex]CH_{3}COO^{-}_{(aq)} + H_{3}O^{+}_{(aq)}[/tex]

Thus, from above conclusion we can say that Ethanoic acid is weak electrolyte and the dissociation of ethanoic acid in water is:  [tex]CH_{3}COOH_{(aq)} + H_{2} O[/tex] ⇄ [tex]CH_{3}COO^{-}_{(aq)} + H_{3}O^{+}_{(aq)}[/tex]
