Which of the following types of coal has the highest energy content and produces the fewest polluting chemicals?

Chemistry
1 answer:
4vir4ik [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Anthracite: The highest rank of coal. This coal is hard, brittle, and black lustrous. It is often referred to as hard coal, containing a high percentage of fixed carbon and a low percentage of volatile matter. It has the highest carbon content, the fewest impurities, and the highest energy density of all types of coal and is the highest ranking of coals.

Explanation: There are four ranks of coal

Coal rank measures the carbon content which is in correlation with calorific value and metamorphic grade. It has a very high carbon (over 90%) and low volatile content (below 5%)1.

"the number of quantum numbers needed to describe the state of an atomic electron is"
Blababa [14]
To completely describe an electron in an atom, four quantum numbers are needed: energy (n), angular momentum (ℓ), magnetic moment (mℓ), and spin (ms). The first quantum number describes the electron shell, or energy level, of an atom.

When iridium-192 is used in cancer treatment, a small cylindrical piece of 192ir, 0.6 mm in diameter and 3.5 mm long, is surgica
Ivan

Iridium-192 is used in cancer treatment, a small cylindrical piece of 192 Ir, 0.6 mm in diameter (0.3mm radius) and 3.5 mm long, is surgically inserted into the tumor. if the density of iridium is 22.42 g/cm3, how many iridium atoms are present in the sample?

Let us start by computing for the volume of the cylinder. V = π(r^2)*h where r and h are the radius and height of the cylinder, respectively. Let's convert all given dimensions to cm first. Radius = 0.03 cm, height is 0.35cm long.

V = π * (0.03cm)^2 * 0.35 cm = 9.896*10^-4 cm^3

Now we have the volume of 192-Ir, let's use the density provided to get it's mass, and once we have the mass let's use the molar mass to get the amount of moles. After getting the amount of moles, we use Avogadro's number to convert moles into number of atoms. See the calculation below and see if all units "cancel":

9.896*10^-4 cm^3 * (22.42 g/cm3) * (1 mole / 191.963 g) * (6.022x10^23 atoms /mole)

= 6.96 x 10^19 atoms of Ir-122 are present.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas found in the ground and in building materials. It is easily inhaled and emits alp
MrMuchimi

Answer:

9.28 g/L

Explanation:

We will be using the ideal gas law to solve this problem:

PV = nRT where P is the pressure (atm)

                           V is the volume (L)

                           R is the gas constant 0.08205 Latm/Kmol

                           T is the temperature (K)

                           n is the number of moles

The number of moles is the mass divided by the molecular weight, and from here we can solve for the density. (Note here we use the atomic weight of radon since its is a monoatomic noble gas)

PV = m/AW RT ⇒  P = (m/V ) RT/AW ⇒   P AW /RT =D

0.950 atm x 222.0 g/mol / [( 0.08205 Latm/Kmol ) x 277 K ] = D

9.28 g/L = D
