Chapter 7, Problem 7.1CT

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Among the electricity generated by nuclear plant and coal burning plant one has to be chosen.

Concept Introduction:

There are several methods for the generation of electricity. Nuclear power plants, coal-burning plants are example for such methods.

Nuclear power plant uses radioactive uranium as the fuel whereas coal-burning power plant uses hydrocarbon as fuels.

(a)

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

The nuclear power plant is a better way of generating electricity while compared to coal burning plant. Even though nuclear power plant requires lots of safety measure, the pollution caused by those plants is low. Coal-burning power plant uses large amount hydrocarbon as fuel and these fuel after burning will contaminate the air by producing greenhouse gases. Also, large amount of electricity can be produced using fewer amounts of fuels in nuclear plants. So it is better to use nuclear plants instead of coal-burning plants for power generation.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Situation for changing the opinion on power generation by nuclear plant has to be mentioned.

Concept Introduction:

There are several methods for the generation of electricity. Nuclear power plants, coal-burning plants are example for such methods.

Nuclear power plant uses radioactive uranium as the fuel whereas coal-burning power plant uses hydrocarbon as fuels.

(b)

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

The electricity generation through nuclear plant is highly attractive but it is risky too. Even though, several protective measures taken before and after constructing the plant, the chances for accident cannot be ignored. There are several such examples in the history. So once an accident occurs the consequence will be very large and it persists through years and years. The disposal of radioactive wastes is also a challenging issue. By considering these issues, there is a need of alternative methods for power generation.

Dr. Mendel asked his BIOL 260 class what their height was and what their parent's heights were. He plotted that data in the graph below to determine if height was a heritable trait. A. Is height a heritable trait? If yes, what is the heritability value? (2 pts) B. If the phenotypic variation is 30, what is the variation due to additive alleles?

Experiment:  Each team will be provided with 5g of a mixture of acetanilide and salicylic acid. You will divide it into three 1.5 g portions in separate 125 mL Erlenmeyer flasks savıng some for melting point analysis. Dissolve the mixture in each flask in ~60mL of DI water by heating to boiling on a hotplate. Take the flasks off the hotplate once you have a clear solution and let them stand on the bench top for 5 mins and then allow them to cool as described below. Sample A-Let the first sample cool slowly to room temperature by letting it stand on your lab bench, with occasional stirring to promote crystallization. Sample B-Cool the second sample 1n a tap-water bath to 10-15 °C Sample C-Cool the third sample in an ice-bath to 0-2 °C Results: weight after recrystalization and melting point temp. A=0.624g,102-115° B=0.765g, 80-105° C=1.135g, 77-108 What is the percent yield of A,B, and C.
