The major drawback of fossil fuels is that they warm the planet i.e. they cause global warming.

The reaction typically gives off heat and light as well. The general equation for a complete combustion reaction is:

                                  Fuel + O2 → CO2 + H2O + ENERGY

<h3>Disadvantages of Fossil fuels</h3>

The term "fossil fuels" refers to flammable organic geologic formations, including dead organic matter that has been buried hundreds of feet beneath sediment.

  • Fossil fuel emissions include various oxides, such as carbon, nitrogen, and sulfate, which cause acid rain and harm the soil's fertility and water quality.
  • Both coal and petroleum burning discharge a significant amount of pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to pollution levels.
  • Gases like carbon dioxide are released through the burning of fossil fuels, which aids in climate change.

What is the mass of water necessary to generate 11.2 L of hydrogen gas if calcium metal reacts with water at standard temperatur
12345 [234]

Answer:

The mass of water is 18 g

Explanation:

The reaction of calcium with water can be represented in the equation below:

Ca + 2H₂O --------->Ca(OH)₂ +H₂

1 Mole of gas at STP = 22.4L

From the displacement reaction above, calculate the mass of water that will produce 22.4L of hydrogen gas at STP.

Mass of 2H₂O = 2(2x1 + 16) = 2X18 = 36 g/mol

Using proportional analysis;

36 g of 2H₂O produced 22.4 L of H₂, then

what mass of 2H₂O will produce 11.2L of  H₂ ?

Mathematically,

22.4 L ----------------------------------> 36g

11.2 L -----------------------------------> ?

Cross and multiply, to obtain the expression below

= (11.2 X 36)/22.4

= 18 g

Therefore, the mass of water is 18 g

What is the significance of a gene?Immersive Reader
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Explanation:

A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA. Every person has two copies of each gene, one inherited from each parent. Most genes are the same in all people, but a small number of genes (less than 1 percent of the total) are slightly different between people. These small differences contribute to each person’s unique physical features.
