What else can I help you with?
What are examples of chemicals?
Examples of chemicals: sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide, calcium chloride, uranium haxafluoride, etc.
What kind of chemicals are used in catalytic converters?
Paladium, uranium and platinum
Are plutonium uranium and thorium controlled chemicals?
All radioactive materials are controlled by severe rules.
What materials are used in nuclear power plants?
uranium, plutonnium, and not much more except chemicals.
How is uranium converted to a useable resource?
Uranium is extracted from the earth by mining; after this it is processed by chemical/metallurgical procedures in useful materials as nuclear fuels, nuclear weapons, chemicals for the industry and laboratory etc.
What type of rock is yellow-cake?
Yellow-cake isn't a natural substance. It's formed by the processing of Uranium Ore with chemicals and grinding, the first step to enriching Uranium for use in a reactor or a bomb. I guess you could describe it as an 'Ore'
What are some examples of chemicals that can cause mutation?
There are too many individual chemicals, and even too many classes of chemicals to list that cause mutations. Generally, the chemicals that cause mutations are the ones that permanently damage the DNA in a cell, either by oxidation, or by creating base replacement or double-stranded breaks.
How and where is uranium obtained?
See the link below for uranium mines; the preparation of pure uranium metal (or other compounds) from ores is a long and expensive work. Chemical engineering processes and other processes are of course involved: radiometric sorting, grinding, dissolving, filtration, separation with ion exchangers, separation by solvent extraction, precipitation, calcination, etc.
Is uranium needed by humans Why or Why not?
no, it serves no biological purpose in any multicellular organism. some primitive bacteria can use it in their metabolism to help convert their food to ATP though, but they can also use other chemicals similarly.
What are common compounds in which uranium is found?
uranyl nitrate, uranium chloride, uranium tetrafluoride, uranium hexafluoride, uranium dioxide, uranium octaoxide, uranyl acetate, uranyl sulfate, uranyl oxalate, uranium carbide, uranium nitride, uranium sulfide, uranium sulfate, uranium selenide, etc.
What is the process of refining uranium to the form used in the reactor?
Its called enrichment and it can be done many different ways. Most ways of enriching uranium require the use of what is probably the most corrosive, toxic, and violently reactive with water chemicals there is: uranium hexafluoride UF6. uranium hexafluoride will corrode almost all metals except pure nickle. uranium hexafluoride attacks all organic compounds. uranium hexafluoride on contact with water ignites and can explode.Enrichment methods using uranium hexafluoride include:gaseous diffusionthermal diffusioncentrifugeLASER separationEnrichment methods not using uranium hexafluoride include: electromagnetic separation, aka calutron, aka mass spectrometerplasma separation
What are 2 molecules that contain uranium?
Examples:Oxides: uranium dioxide, uranium trioxide, uranium octaoxideSalts: ammonium diuranate, uranyl nitrate, uranyl acetate, uranium hehxafluoride, uranium chlorideand many others because uranium is a reactive metal.
