How many metric tons of oxygen are combined in a sample of pitchblende that contains 1.8 tons of uranium?

0.242 t of oxygen; but the value is only an approximate because the pitchblende is not only pure UO2.

How much does your Earth weigh in metric tons?
5.976e+21 metric tons.
How many metric tons of CO2 can a tree fix in a year?
An acre of trees generally is considered to be the equivalent of .1586546 metric tons of CO2. Generally the formula goes "acres of land = Metric tons of CO2 x 6.303"
What is the earths density?
246 metric units.
Which country pollutes the most?
China has been the number one polluter since 2008. The latest figures (2010) show this: World CO2 Emissions: 33,508,901 thousand metric tonnes 1. China: 8,240,958 thousand metric tonnes 2. United States: 5,492,170 thousand metric tonnes 3. India: 2,069,738 thousand metric tonnes 4. Russia: 1,688,688 thousand metric tonnes 5. Japan: 1,138,432 thousand metric tonnes 6. Germany: 762,543 thousand metric tonnes 7. Iran: 574,667 thousand metric tonnes 8. South Korea: 563,126 thousand metric tonnes 9. Canada: 518,475 thousand metric tonnes 10. Saudi Arabia: 493,726 thousand metric tonnes The top two polluters (China and the US) account for 40% of CO2 emissions. However, the US has been slowly declining in numbers while China has been rising sharply. This means that our big concern to health is China because they are exceeding at an unhealthy rate; their 2009 versus 2010 statistics shows that they almost polluted 1,000,000 thousand more metric tonnes in just one year. And because of the new growing power of India, India may even surpass the US and perhaps China in the years to come. In fact, all major European nations (including Canada) have been slowly declining in pollution while these eastern nations have been rapidly exceeding. This also shows the switching of world power from the Western World to the Eastern World.
What is co2 equivalent of ammonia as greenhouse gas?
Ammonia, as many other gases, contributes to the "greenhouse effect". The mayor gas known to increase global warming through the greenhouse effect is CO2 (carbon dioxide), and to compare the potential of any given gas to the greenhouse effect, an equivalency is often used. This equivalency comes from the fact that a metric ton of CO2 pollutes the environment; so a metric ton of methane contribute to the greenhouse effect as much as 25 metric tons of CO2 would contribute. So, 1 metric ton of ammonia do as much damage to the planet as "CO2 equivalent of ammonia" metric tons of CO2.
Is radium common in nature?
Radium is a decay product of uranium and is therefore found in all uranium-bearing ores. (One metric ton of pitchblende yields 0.0001 grams of radium). Radium was originally acquired from pitchblende ore from Joachimsthal, Bohemia, in the Czech Republic. Carnotite sands in Colorado provide some of the element, but richer ores are found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Great Lakes area of Canada, and can also be extracted from uranium processing waste. Large radium-containing uranium deposits are located in Canada (Ontario), the United States (New Mexico, Utah, and Virginia), Australia, and in other places.
What is a metric ton of uranium worth?
A metric ton of the oxide U3O8 (the usual commercial form) worth now approx. 90 000 US $.Prices of uranium (as for other products) are very variable.
Is radium found naturally or synthetically made?
Radium is found naturally. It is a decay product of uranium and is therefore found in all uranium-bearing ores. One metric ton of pitchblende yields 0.0001 grams of radium. Radium was originally acquired from pitchblende ore from Joachimsthal, Bohemia, in the Czech Republic. Carnotite sands in Colorado provide some of the element, but richer ores are found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Great Lakes area of Canada, and can also be extracted from uranium processing waste. Large radium-containing uranium deposits are located in Canada (Ontario), the United States (New Mexico, Utah, and Virginia), Australia, and in other places. Radium can also be naturally mined from radium compounds. Its compound color's are rich red or crimson color with a shade of purple and give a characteristic spectrum. Due to its geologically short half life and intense radioactivity, radium compounds are quite rare, occurring almost exclusively in uranium ores.
If there is a concentration of 4 grams per metric ton of uranium in the Earth's crust then what mass of uranium is found in 1.3 milligrams of the Earth's crust?
5,2.10-6 mg U
What volume of space would 1 metric ton of depleted uranium take up?
52,493 litres
How much radium is present in uranium?
Absolutely none. Radium is element #88, while uranium is element #92. They are two completely different entities. If you are referring to uranium ores, it is a different story. The ratio is about 3 metric tons of uranium to 1 gram of radium. Oxygen and other elements are also present in uranium ore. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium#Oxides
What's a gallon A gallon is a part of the metric system that contains 4 quarts?
A gallon is NOT part of the metric system. A gallon is a part of the Imperial system and contains 4 quarts (or 8 pints)
How many liters does a barrel contains in Indian metric system?
16
How is uranium measured?
a rough estimate may be done using some type of radiac, but an exact amount can only be determined by assay.
How many kilogrammes are there in 1 ton?
One metric ton contains 1000 kg
How many kilogram contains 103 pound?
When metric system finally wins this question will be obsolete.
How many kilogram makes 1 metric ton?
One metric ton (also known as a 'Tonne') contains 1000 kg, or 2204 pounds.There are two other types of ton:One Imperial ton (or British ton) equals 2240 pounds, or 1016.3 kg.One short ton contains 2000 pounds, or 907.4 kilogrammes.1,000kg per metric tonne.1 metric tonne equals 1,000 kilograms.1000kg=1 tonne1 metric tonne = 1000 kg NB 1 metric tonne is spelled differently.1000kg = 1 Metric Ton. 1kg = 2.2lb so one metric ton is 2200lb.
