If 5 grams of oxygen combines with 37.2 grams of uranium to form uranium oxide how many grams of the oxide are formed?
To find the grams of uranium oxide formed, we need to determine the molar mass of uranium and oxygen, calculate the moles of each element present, and finally the moles of uranium oxide formed. Then, we convert moles to grams using the molar mass of uranium oxide. The final answer for the grams of uranium oxide formed depends on the stoichiometry of the reaction.
How do you make uranium products?
Uranium itself is a naturally occurring metal, but seldom found as the native metal. The usual method of refining it from its oxides, (after reduction) is to convert into a chemical gas (uranium hexafluoride), and centrifuge this to obtain the particular isotope needed. Not a short process. UF6 is highly toxic and reactive. Naturally, any uranium compound is radioactive, and dangerous to handle without particular precautions.
What is the oxide of a metal called?
The oxide of a metal is called a metal oxide. It is a compound formed by a metal and oxygen atoms.
How many uranium percent at U3O8?
The uranium oxide U3O8 contain 84,8 % uranium.
Word equation for soluble metal oxide plus water?
Metal oxide + Water --> Metal hydroxide
Why does uranium not spotaneously combust in mines?
It is not in a concentrated form of metal, but is usually in the form of uranium oxide.
What is the radioactive metal used in power stations?
Uranium, but in oxide form
Where discovered uranium?
Uranium was discovered by Martin Klaproth in 1789 (in the form of an oxide) in Germany. In 1841 Eugene Peligot in France obtained pure uranium metal.
When did they discover uranium?

Who found the element uranium?
Martin Heinrich Klaproth identified an oxide of uranium in the mineral pitchblende in 1789; in 1841 Eugene Melchior Peligot prepared uranium as a pure metal.
Who descovered uranium?
Martin Heinrich Klaproth in 1789 prepared an oxide of uranium (confusion with the pure element). In 1841 Eugène-Melchior Péligot isolated the first uranium metal.
What role does uranium play in the generation of electricity in the US?
Uranium (as metal, alloy, oxide, carbide, etc.) is the nuclear fuel for the nuclear power reactors.
Who discover the uranium and when?
Martin Heinrich Klaproth in 1789, as an oxide in the mineral pitchblende. In 1841 Eugene Melchior Peligot isolated uranium as a pure metal.
What is the price of 1 gm uranium?
For natural uranium as the oxide U3O8 the price is now approx. 90 US $/kg.For uranium metal, enriched uranium, uranium dioxide nuclear grade etc. prices are significantly higher.

The percentage of uranium in uranium dioxide is 88,149.
