3. Zirconium is one of the few metals that retains its structure integrity upon exposure to radiation. The fuel rods in most nuclear reactors therefore are often made of zirconium. Answer the following questions about the redox properties of zirconium based on the half-reaction:
ZrO2‧H2O + H2O +→ Zr+
= -2.36 V
d. If 1.00 x 103 kg of Zr (91.22 a.u.) reacts, what mass of H2 is produced? What volume of H2 at 1.0 atm and 1000°C is produced?
This is a large modal.
