400 BTU of wasted heat energy is present in the form of electricity.

<h3><u>Energy sources and usage</u></h3>
  • Potential energy sources include fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. Other energy sources include hydro, solar, and wind.
  • Additionally, nuclear energy may also come from radioactive materials.But energy will constantly lose its strength.
  • Industries would never be able to derive a full amount of energy from their sources.We can only obtain 60% of the energy in ideal situations, such as the Carnot engine. This is if the case is ideal. Actually, we receive considerably less than this for roughly 40%.

So, when efficiency is 60%, energy is used 60% of the time and lost 40% of the time. Thus, according to question, the energy that is wasted is:

1000 BTUx (40/100) = 400 BTU

<h2>Orderly Internal Arrangement of Atoms</h2>

Explanation:

  • Crystals have an orderly internal arrangement of atoms arranged in a lattice pattern.
  • Crystalline structure is generally known as an ordered arrangement of the particles like ions, molecules, or atoms that are placed altogether in a three-dimensional space of a lattice.
  • The repeating pattern is known as a unit cell of the structure which is the smallest group of particles of the whole crystal structure.

Using data from Ms.Baltzers students, they found the mass of a piece of brown metal was 14.2 grams, and the volume of that same
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

d = 7.9 g/mL

Explanation:

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL , kg/L

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

Symbol:

The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.

Given data:

Mass of brown metal = 14.2 g

Volume = 1.8 mL

Density = ?

Solution:

d = m/v

d = 14.2 g/1.8 mL

d = 7.9 g/mL

When heat is applied to 80 grams of CaCO3, it yields 39 grams of CO2. Determine
galben [10]

<u>Answer:</u> The percentage yield of CO_2 is 90.26%.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass. The equation used is:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} ......(1)

Given mass of CaCO_3 = 80 g

Molar mass of CaCO_3 = 100 g/mol

Plugging values in equation 1:

\text{Moles of }CaCO_3=\frac{80g}{100g/mol}=0.8 mol

For the given chemical equation:

CaCO_3\rightarow CaO+CO_2

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 1 mole of CaCO_3 produces 1 mole of CO_2

So, 0.8 moles of CaCO_3 will produce = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.8=0.8mol of CO_2

Molar mass of CO_2 = 44 g/mol

Plugging values in equation 1:

\text{Mass of }CO_2=(0.8mol\times 44g/mol)=35.2g

The percent yield of a reaction is calculated by using an equation:

\% \text{yield}=\frac{\text{Actual value}}{\text{Theoretical value}}\times 100 ......(2)

Given values:

Actual value of CO_2 = 35.2 g

Theoretical value of H_2CO_3 = 39 g

Plugging values in equation 2:

\% \text{yield of }CO_2=\frac{35.2g}{39g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of }CO_2=90.26\%

Hence, the percentage yield of CO_2 is 90.26%.
