5 Questions
What is the balanced chemical reaction between the nuclear reactor-generated gas and the air component?
2Zr + 2H2O + O2 -> 2ZrO2 + 2H2
What is the density of water produced in the reaction?
1 g/cm3
What is the gas constant, R, used in the calculations?
0.08206 L.atm.K-1.mol-1
What is the pressure of the gas generated from the reaction between zirconium and steam in atmospheres (atm) units?
1.9 atm
What can the gas generated from the zirconium and steam reaction do when it reacts with another gas found in the air?
React explosively to form water.
Challenge yourself to derive a balanced chemical reaction between the gas generated by zirconium reacting with steam in a nuclear reactor and an air component. Calculate the pressure of the gas produced under specific conditions and material quantities provided. Put your chemical equation balancing and pressure calculation skills to the test!
