Question

Do you feel that people’s safety is compromised when they live near a nuclear power plant? Why or why not? What sort of information do you think that someone living near a power plant should try to obtain? Why?

Answer 1

According to the Bronsted-Lowry theory, since the carbonate ion takes up or accepts a hydrogen ion, it must be a base. The partial ionization of sodium carbonate indicates that it is weak, not strong. Therefore, sodium carbonate is a weak base.

Answer 2

Hi there!

I think populations' safety living near nuclear power plants are compromised. If there were a leak, the poison would have a greater potential to kill people living close to the source than farther away.
I think people should be taught and obtain an escape procedure in the event of a nuclear leak emergency. When a leak near them occurs, it is more likely that they can escape faster.

Hope this helps!
