Savion listed the steps involved when nuclear power plants generate electricity. nuclear reaction occurs. nuclear energy is converted to radiant and thermal energy. heat is used to generate steam. light and heat are released. steam turns turbines. mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy. which best explains how to correct savion’s error?
a. in step 2, change “radiant and thermal ” to “chemical and mechanical.”
b. reorder the steps so that step 4 appears before step 3.
c. reorder the steps so that step 6 appears before step 5.
d. in step 6, change “mechanical” to “thermal.”

Answer is: b.reorder the steps so that step 4 appears before step 3.

The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.

In this example energy is transformed:

1) from chemical energy to thermal and radiant energy.

2) from thermal energy to kinetic energy.

3) from kinetic energy to electric energy.

Nuclear energy is the energy found in the nucleus of an atom. For example nuclear fission is radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts and huge amount of energy is released.

1.consider the following balanced equation and answer parts a through. show calculations for each part.  

3 ag(s) + 4 hno3(aq) → 3 agno3(aq) + no(g) + 2 h2o(l)  

a. calculate the number of moles of agno3 produced by the reaction of 3 moles of ag with excess hno3. if the number to the left of the compound represents the number of moles of the compound which are present, then 3 moles of ag react with 4 moles hno3 to produce 3 moles agno3 (aq).

so the answer to a would be 3 moles.

b. calculate the number of moles of agno3 produced by the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3.  

i'm not sure how to plug in the grams of silver into an equation using moles to find how many moles are produced.

c. calculate the number of grams of agno3 produced by the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3  

d. calculate the number of moles of no produced as a byproduct of the reaction of 108 grams of ag with excess hno3.  

e. calculate the number of grams of no produced as a byproduct starting with 108 grams of ag and excess hno3.
