what is a major drawback of using fossil fuels they warmn the planet they contain no greenohuse gases

Chemistry

Charra [1.4K]1 year ago
7 0

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.

Identify the examples of diffusion in the list below. Check all that apply.
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer;

  • A teacher takes the cap off a permanent marker. A few minutes later, students at the back of the classroom complain about the odor of the marker.
  • A cooking school student burns a piece of toast. Soon, the entire kitchen smells like burnt toast.
  • Toxic fumes produced by a chemical factory are detected in the air in a town several miles away.
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Diffusion is a type of passive transport that involves the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.
  • <em><u>Diffusion takes place in liquids and gases, since their particles can move randomly from one region to another.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Therefore, diffusion results from the random movement of particles in which the net movement is down the concentration gradient  that is, from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.</u></em>

Answer:

7) Example: Gravitational force

Gravitational force, also known as gravity, is a type of non- contact force.

10) Unbalanced forces can cause an object to accelerate, make a stationary object move, or cause a moving object to stop.

12) Gravitational force, Frictional force, Magnetic force

13) Friction is beneficial when we are walking as it prevents us from slipping.

For the table, find the net force first and that would help us to find the direction and the type of force (balanced/ unbalanced).

As written in Q11, add all the forces together to determine the net force acting on an object. More specifically, add the forces that act in one direction together. Then subtract the forces acting in the other direction.

<u>Let's look at the teddy bear (Q14 -16):</u>

Take note that we have to look at the direction of the arrow not which side the arrow is on (left/ right of the bear).

Total force acting towards the left

= 16 +7

= 23N

Total force acting on the right= 22N

Net force

= 23 -22

= 1N towards the left

Thus, 14) Unbalanced (since the net force is not 0N)

15) 1N

15) 1N16) left

<u>Vase question</u><u>:</u>

Total downward force

= 11 +33

= 44N

Total upward force

= 25 +19

= 44N

Net force= 0N

17) Balanced

17) Balanced18) 0N

17) Balanced18) 0N19) No direction

<u>Bicycle</u><u> </u><u>question</u><u>:</u>

Total force acting towards the right

= 65 +115

= 180N

Total force to the left= 170N

Net force

= 180 -170

= 10N to the right

20) Unbalanced

20) Unbalanced21) 10N

20) Unbalanced21) 10N22) To the right

what will the new volume of a 22.4L same of a gas at STP if the pressure remains constant and the temperature is cut in half? A.
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{C. 11.2 L}}

Explanation:

The pressure is constant, so we can use Charles' Law to calculate the volume.

\dfrac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \dfrac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}

Data:

V₁ = 22.4 L; T₁ = 273.15 K

V₂ = ?;         T₂ = 136.58 K

Calculations:

\dfrac{ 22.4}{273.15} = \dfrac{ V_{2}}{136.58}\\\\0.082 00 = \dfrac{ V_{2}}{136.58}\\\\V_{2} =0.082 00 \times 136.58 = \boxed{\textbf{11.2 L}}

Every water molecule has two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom. This fact supports the concept that elements in a compoun
dezoksy [38]
<span>The answer is (1) chemically combined in a fixed proportion. Elements in a compound are bound by a chemical bond. So, oxygen and hydrogen are bound chemically. Further, their proportion never changes, it is always 1 oxygen atom and 2 hydrogen atoms in water. Thus, elements in a compound are chemically combined in a fixed proportion.Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help!</span>
