How does uranium get it in to water?
Uranium has more that one valiance state. In one form it is quite soluble, in another not so soluble. That is why as oxygen became more plentiful and uranium a higher oxidation level it became soluble and dissolved in African rivers. It precipitated when the river met the ocean. There it created an atomic pile. Uranium is a metal. You probably want the oxide or some other compound. Look up the solubility product constant for Uranium oxide. That will give you the exact figure for whatever valence and compound you want.
Is uranium harmfull if digested?
Yes, uranium is highly toxic if ingested. It can cause severe harm to the kidneys, liver, and other organs, as well as increase the risk of developing cancer. Immediate medical attention is necessary if someone ingests uranium.
How can uranium kill you?
- after a severe intoxication (ingestion of an important mass of soluble uranium compounds); uranium is toxic and radioactive. - after inhalation of uranium dust on long periods; uranium and the released radon are the cause of lung cancers in this case. - after the explosion of a critical mass of enriched uranium - if you are between the victims of a nuclear weapons bombarment, using uranium in the bombs
How dangerous is uranium mining?
The radioactivity of natural uranium is not so important. The external irradiation is very low. But the internal irradiation is dangerous: alpha radiations from inhaled uranium, radium and radon (Ra and Rn released by decay from U) can destroy pulmonary alveoli and cause lung cancers. Also the ingestion is dangerous because soluble salts of uranium are toxic.
What elements does uranium react with?
Uranium is a very reactive element; uranium can form alloys or compounds with the majority of the other elements. Uranium is also soluble in nitric acid.
How do you define the solubility for uranium?
Uranium is not soluble in water; uranium is easily soluble in acids, for ex. in nitric acid.
How do you separate uranium from water?
What do you mean. Uranium is not soluble in water.
Is uranium trioxide soluble in Acetone?
No
What happens when uranium is exposed to acid?
For example, metallic uranium is soluble in nitric acid.
What is the proper chemistry terminology for a state where uranium wants to stay in solution?
Soluble uranium salt in solution
Would exposure to uranium minng and milling affect kidneys?
Ingestion of soluble compounds of uranium can severely affect the kidneys.
What is uranium and how does it relate to the digestive system?
Uranium is a natural chemical element, radioactive and toxic. Ingestion of soluble salts of uranium can lead to intoxication, depending of course on the amount ingested.

What kind of illnesses are as a result of depleted uranium?
Inhalation of powders and liquid aerosols containing uranium: lung cancers. Ingestion of soluble uranium compounds: intoxication, especially for kidney. Skin or eyes contact with corrosive uranium compounds: severe irritations.
Is uranium harmfull if digested?
Yes, uranium is highly toxic if ingested. It can cause severe harm to the kidneys, liver, and other organs, as well as increase the risk of developing cancer. Immediate medical attention is necessary if someone ingests uranium.
What are the effects on people if uranium enters the human body?
After inhalation: lung cancers. After ingestion of soluble compounds: intoxication, kidney illness.
How can uranium affect uremia and can uranium increase likelihood of death?
Uranium is a toxic element. Intoxication with uranium in soluble form affect the kidneys (renal diseases may occur), so abnormality of uremia is very possible. See also: http://stinet.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=ADA465204&Location=U2&doc=GetTRDoc.pdf
