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.

Q.1-

Given,

mass - 10grams

volume - 24 cm³

density = mass/volume

density = 10/24

density = 0.416 g/cm³

Q.2-

Given,

mass - 700grams

volume - 1100cm³

density = mass/volume

density = 700/1100

density = 0.6363 g/cm³

How many moles of HCl are present in 0.70 L of a 0.63 M HCl solution?

eimsori [14]

So the molarity equation is moles of solute/liters of solution. so i’m pretty sure the answer should be 0.63/0.70= .9

The energy released from 1 gram of uranium is more than 1 million times greater than the energy released from 3 grams of coal. T

SVEN [57.7K]

The energy released from 1 gram of uranium is more than 1 million times greater than the energy released from 3 grams of coal is True.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear Fission is the process in which splitting of a nucleus takes place that releases free neutrons and lighter nuclei. The fission of heavy elements like "Uranium is highly exothermic" and releases "200 million eV" compared to the energy that is released by burning coal which gives a few eV.

In the given example, it is obvious that the energy released from 1 gram of uranium is more than that of the energy released from 3 grams of coal because the amount of energy released during nuclear fission is millions of times more efficient per mass than that of coal considering only $\frac{1}{10}^{th}$ part of the original nuclei is converted to energy.
