AS Of Jahuary 2009, the USA has produced 60,000 metric tons of nuclear waste in 60 years of operating 104 nuclear power plants.
On average, how much waste is produced by each plant on a monthly basis?
O0.8tons per month
O83.3 tons per month
104 tons per month
O 866.3 tons per month

Waste produced by each plant : 0.8 tons per month

Given

60,000 metric tons of nuclear waste in 60 years of operating 104

nuclear power plants.

Required

Waste produced

Solution

60,000 metric tons=60 years, so in one year :

1000 metric tons/year = 83.33 metric tons/month

For each plant :

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!
