Coal-fired plants put coal through a combustion reaction, in order to generate heat energy. While nuclear plants use principals of fission to generate power.

A combustion reaction does not split an atom, while fission is the process of breaking apart atoms, so we can conclude hat it isn’t #1.

I don’t think humans have even been able to reliably fuse atoms together, thus #2 can not be correct.

Fission is not a chemical reaction, therefore it can’t be #4.

I think both provide heat which then heats water thus turning a turbine that generates electricity. #3 is deductively the correct answer.

Apply scientific knowledge and understanding to determine how many grams of carbon dioxide are produced from the combustion of 2
lidiya [134]

Answer:

749 grams CO₂

Explanation:

To find the amount of carbon dioxide produced, you need to (1) convert grams C₃H₈ to moles C₃H₈ (via molar mass from periodic table), then (2) convert moles C₃H₈ to moles CO₂ (via mole-to-mole ratio via reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles CO₂ to grams CO₂ (via molar mass from periodic table). It is important to arrange the ratios/conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The desired unit should be in the numerator. The final answer should have 3 significant figures because the given value (250. grams) has 3 sig figs.

Molar Mass (C₃H₈): 3(12.01 g/mol) + 8(1.008 g/mol)

Molar Mass (C₃H₈): 44.094 g/mol

1 C₃H₈ + 5 O₂ ---> 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O

Molar Mass (CO₂): 12.01 g/mol + 2(16.00 g/mol)

Molar Mass (CO₂): 44.01 g/mol

250. g C₃H₈         1 mole C₃H₈           3 moles CO₂              44.01 g
------------------  x  ----------------------  x  ----------------------  x  --------------------  =
                               44.094 g              1 mole C₃H₈            1 mole CO₂

= 749 grams CO₂

A flashlight battery is an example of a
kompoz [17]
<span>Dry cell battery

When an automotive battery is fully charged, the sulfuric acid and water mixture will have a specific gravity of about 1.3. Specific gravity is actually the difference in the weight of water in comparison to a specific fluid. It is measured by a hydrometer. The amount of charge in the battery is normally measured by the specific gravity of the battery. The specific gravity of water is 1 and anything less than one is considered less dense while anything that has a specific gravity of more than 1 is considered more dense than water. </span>

Can you use active transport in a sentence
otez555 [7]

Active transport is the moving of molecules across the membrane of the cell against the concentration gradient with the use of ATP.

Low to high concentration. Concentration gradient is the diffusion (movement of molecules from regions of low concentration) from high to low with the gradient. Active transport is from low to high, against the gradient.

How much pollution is in urban streams ?
Marizza181 [45]

Explanation: Pollution in urban streams (commonly caused by improperly disposed waste and/or acid rain) always has a negative effect on the environment. <em>Urban rivers are extremely polluted in some areas</em>, such as India. Actions have been taken to clear the streams, and progress has been made.

Hope this helps!

What is the likely impact of water's high specific heat on life on Earth?
valkas [14]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The high specific heat capacity of water means that it takes much more energy to raise the temperatures of water by one (1) degree than land. This means that on a hot sunny day, land temperatures would increase dramatically while ocean temperatures would only rise slightly. Conversely,  at night, the land cools rapidly while oceans cool slowly hence the temperatures drop slightly.
