Some nuclear waste is stored about 600 meters below the desert in New Mexico inside caverns dug

out of an ancient bed of rock salt. The land above

the storage site is owned by the federal

government. Why do you think this location was

chosen?

When you perform this reaction, what could remain at the end of the reaction? check all that apply. excess reactant aqueous copper chloride excess reactant aluminum oxygen product solid copper carbon dioxide product aqueous aluminum chloride water

Americium-241 undergoes fission to produce three neutrons per fission event. if a neutron-absorbing material is mixed in with this sample so that the rate of neutron production drops down to 1.8 neutrons per fission event, which will be effective at achieving a critical mass? check all that apply. remove a deflective shield surrounding the sample. remove absorbent material mixed in with the sample. compress the sample of americium-241.

Many ionic compounds and a few highly polar covalent compounds are because they completely ionize in water to create a solution filled with charged ions that can conduct an electric current.
