As of January 2009, the USA has produced 60,000 metric tons of nuclear waste in 60 yesrs of operating 104 nuclear power plants. on average how much waste is produced by each plant on a monthly basis?

a. 0.8 tons p. month

b. 83.3 tons p. month

c. 104 tons p. month

d. 866.3 tons p. month

 a. 0.8 tons p. month.

Explanation:

Given: Total nuclear waste = 60,000 metric tons

Time take = 60 years = 12 x 60 months   [ 1 year = 12 months]

=  720 months

Total nuclear power plants = 104

Now , Average  waste produced by each plant =

Hence, 0.8 tons p. month is produced by each plant.

So, option a. is correct.

Explanation:

i'm assuming that it's c.) red bank..

when the volume of gas is   changed from   717.73 ml   to 852 ml   the temperature will   change   from 315   c to 452   c

    calculation

this is calculated using the charles law formula

that is,   v1/t1 = v2/t2

          v1=?

        t1 = 315 c   into   kelvin = 315 +273 = 588 k

        v2 = 852   ml

        t2 = 425c + 273 =698 k

make v1   the subject of the formula ( by   multiplying both side by t1)

  v1=( v2 xt1) / t2

v1= (852 ml   x 588 k)/ 698 k= 717.73 ml
