Question
Chapter 20, Problem 20.43QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The function of a moderator and a control rod in a nuclear reactor should be explained.
Concept introduction:
- Moderator are used to slow down the speed of neutron .this is the main function of the moderator.
These material are capable to decrease the speed of neutron produce as fissionable
- For example: Helium at 1000atm and 1273K.berilium at high temperature, sodium at 773to 873 K used in breeder reactor.
- Control rods: As the name shows that this material designed to control the fission reaction.
It is made up of some neutron absorbing material like cadmium, helium or boron.
To determine: the function of moderator and a control rod in a nuclear reactor explained.

A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential Ered +1.26 V. An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the anode of a galvanic cell that
must provide at least 1.10 V of electrical power. The cell will operate under standard conditions.
Note for advanced students: assume the engineer requires this half-reaction to happen at the anode of the cell.
Is there a minimum standard reduction
potential that the half-reaction used at
the cathode of this cell can have?
If so, check the "yes" box and calculate
the minimum. Round your answer to 2
decimal places. If there is no lower
limit, check the "no" box..
Is there a maximum standard reduction
potential that the half-reaction used at
the cathode of this cell can have?
If so, check the "yes" box and calculate
the maximum. Round your answer to 2
decimal places. If there is no upper
limit, check the "no" box.
yes, there is a minimum.
