Which countries have nuclear waste problems?
All countries that have nuclear reactors have nuclear waste and it is always a problem, though a manageable one.
Why is the f-distribution always positive?
because of the square in the equation
Does nuclear radiation go away?
No, it doesn't.Wrong, it does. There are 2 types of nuclear radiation: prompt & decay.Prompt nuclear radiation occurs for a period of time while the reaction that generates it is happening. Examples are the flash of neutrons, light, x-rays, etc. when a nuclear bomb explodes as well as the sustained neutron flux as a nuclear reactor is in operation. When the reaction stops, prompt nuclear radiation goes away.Decay nuclear radiation occurs as radioactive isotopes decay to different isotopes. As the decay happens (which is a probabilistic process) the radioactive isotope is consumed. This follows an exponential function with one half of the current amount of the radioactive isotope consumed in each period of time called a halflife. While there will always be a tiny residue of the original radioactive isotope, for practical purposes it is considered to be negligible after 5 halflives have passed. When 5 halflives of the radioactive isotope decaying have passed, decay nuclear radiation is considered to have gone away for practical purposes.
What should you use when you don't have alum?
If you don't have alum, you can use alternatives such as baking soda, cream of tartar, or vinegar, depending on the recipe's purpose. For pickling, try using white vinegar or lemon juice. In baking, a combination of baking soda and an acid like vinegar or yogurt can help achieve a similar effect. Always adjust quantities according to the specific recipe requirements.
How would nuclear waste harm the environment?
Nuclear waste would harm people and animals rather than the environment as such. I have not seen evidence on the effect of radiation on vegetation. Nuclear waste must be well contained and shielded to avoid damaging people, and so long as everyone concerned is careful and responsible, this won't happen.If it leaked into rivers or was spread over farmland it would be ingested by grazing animals and fish and hence would enter the human food chain, and if it became high enough would then start to harm human health.
When balancing a nuclear equation what two quantities are conserved when balancing a nuclear equation?
In a nuclear equation, the total number of protons and neutrons is conserved. This means that the sum of the mass numbers and the sum of the atomic numbers must be the same on both sides of the equation before and after the reaction.
When metamorphic rock melts and turns into lava is matter conserved?
Yes, this is a simple physical change and matter is always conserved in these. In fact, matter is always conserved except in nuclear reactions where the sum of matter and energy is conserved.
Is energy conserved in a nuclear reaction?
Yes. Basically, energy is ALWAYS conserved. The popular saying, that in a nuclear reaction mass is converted to energy, is plainly wrong, since both mass and energy are conserved. Read about "mass deficit", for example in the Wikipedia, for more details.
What kind of quantities can always be added or subtracted from both sides of an equation?
Equal quantities.
Is matter always conserved?
In classical physics, matter is conserved. This means that the total mass of an isolated system remains constant over time. However, in certain situations involving nuclear reactions or particle-antiparticle annihilation, matter can be converted into energy according to Einstein's equation E=mc^2.
Which quantities can always be added or subtracted from both sides of an equation?
Equal
In any chemical reaction the quantities that are preserved are?
In any chemical reaction the quantities that are conserved are mass and number of atoms. After the correct formula for a reactant in an equation has been written, the formula should not be changed.
Is energy always conserved in the universe?
Energy is always conserved in a closed system, according to the law of conservation of energy. However, in the universe as a whole, energy may not be conserved due to the expansion of space-time, which can lead to a net increase in energy.
What always stays the same when a nuclear reaction takes place?
In a nuclear reaction, the total number of nucleons (protons and neutrons) in the system remains constant, adhering to the law of conservation of mass-energy. While the identity of the elements and the arrangement of nucleons may change, the overall mass-energy before and after the reaction is conserved according to Einstein's equation (E=mc^2). Additionally, the total charge is also conserved during the reaction.
Is machanical energy always conserved?
No. Total energy is always conserved, but not so mechanical energy.
Is the parent isotope always radioactive In a nuclear equation?
No, the parent in the nuclear equation is not always radioactive. For example, the following reaction shows a neutron capture by 23Na, which is not radioactive. 1123Na + 01n --> 1124Na where 01n is a neutron.
Is mass conserved when nickel reacts chemically?
Yes. Basically, mass is always conserved.Yes. Basically, mass is always conserved.Yes. Basically, mass is always conserved.Yes. Basically, mass is always conserved.
