A 2-mm-thick 5-L vessel made of nickel is used to store hydrogen gas at 358 K and 300 kPa. If the total inner surface area of the vessel is 1600 cm2, determine the rate of gas loss from the nickel vessel via mass diffusion. Also, determine the fraction of the hydrogen lost by mass diffusion after one year of storage.

28. which is not a reason that water is used to store spent fuel rods from nuclear power plants? water increases the speed of the chain reaction in the fuel rods. water protects nuclear power plant workers from the high temperature and radiation of the fuel rods. water acts as a radiation shield to reduce the radiation levels. water cools the spent rods. salts action
