Some nuclear power plants use plutonium-239, which is produced in breeder reactors. The rate-determining step is the second β⁻ emission. How long does it take to make 1.00 kg of ²³⁹Pu if the reaction is complete when the product is 90.% ²³⁹Pu?

Respuesta :

It takes t = 0.357 days e to make 1.00 kg of ²³⁹Pu if the reaction is complete when the product is 90.% ²³⁹Pu.

What is power plants?

An industrial facility for the production of electricity is referred to as a power station, sometimes known as a power plant, generating station, or generating plant. In most cases, power plants are wired into a grid.

Half life of 239Pu is 2.35 days

K = ln2/t₀.₅

= ln 2/ 2.35

K = 0.294956/ day

N₀ = 1kg

Nₐ = 0.90kg

K = 1/t ln N₀/ Nₐ

t = 1/K ln(N₀/Nₐ)

t = 0.357 days
