Answer:

Anthracite

Explanation:

Anthracite produce highest amount of energy than other. It contain 86-97 percent carbon. Bituminous coal contain 45-86 percent carbon.

Subbituminous cola have 35-45 percent carbon while lignite contain 25-35 percent carbon.

Coal is source of many organic materials. It is fossil fuel and form after long period decay of plants. It is formed when trees are buried under earth

about 500 million years ago. The chemical and bacterial reactions take place and plant wood converted into the peat.

Than because of high temperature and pressure inside the earth peat is converted into the coal.

Through other processes it is than used to make the fuels such as coke. coal tar and coal gas.

Coal tar is the source of many organic compounds which are separated through fractional distillation.

About 80% of coal in Pakistan is used to bake the bricks and also used in lime kilns and for domestic purpose.

If I have 340 mL of a 1.5 M NaBr solution, what will the concentration be if I add 560 mL more water to it?

ipn [44]

Answer:

0.5667 M ≅ 0.57 M.

Explanation:

It is known that the no. of millimoles of a solution before dilution is equal to the no. of millimoles of the solution after the dilution.

It can be expressed as:

(MV) before dilution = (MV) after dilution.

M before dilution = 1.5 M, V before dilution = 340 mL.

M after dilution = ??? M, V after dilution = 340 mL + 560 mL = 900 mL.

∴ M after dilution = (MV) before dilution/(V) after dilution = (1.5 M)(340 mL)/(900 mL) = 0.5667 M ≅ 0.57 M.

What are all the intermolecular forces present in a sample of BrF?

yuradex [85]

Answer:

dipole-dipole

Explanation:

Intermolecular forces exists between the molecules of a substance in a particular state of matter.

The type of intermolecular forces present in a substance is determined by the electronegativity difference between the atoms that compose the substance.

There is a non zero electronegativity difference between Br and F hence the molecule is polar and the intermolecular forces between the molecules of BrF are dipole-dipole forces.

Determine how many atoms of pure silver will be created when 19.83 x 1023 atoms of copper are used in the following reaction:

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

$\boxed{3.966 \times 10^{24}\text{ atoms of Ag}}$

Explanation:

(a) Balanced equation

Cu + 2AgNO₃ ⟶ Cu(NO₃)₂+ 2Ag

(b) Calculation

You want to convert atoms of Cu to atoms of Ag.

The atomic ratio is ratio is 2 atoms Ag:1 atom Cu

$\text{Atoms of Ag} = 19.83 \times 10^{23}\text{atoms Cu} \times \dfrac{\text{2 atoms Ag}}{\text{1 atom Cu}}\\\\= 3.966 \times 10^{24}\text{ atoms of Ag}\\\\\text{The reaction will produce }\boxed{\mathbf{3.966 \times 10^{24}}\textbf{ atoms of Ag}}$
