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.

Suppose you are provided with a 30.86 g sample of potassium chlorate to perform this experiment. What is the mass of oxygen you

oee [108]

Answer:

The mass of oxygen is 12.10 g.

Explanation:

The decomposition reaction of potassium chlorate is the following:

2KClO₃(s) → 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)

We need to find the number of moles of KClO₃:

$\eta_{KClO_{3}} = \frac{m}{M}$

Where:

m: is the mass = 30.86 g

M: is the molar mass = 122.55 g/mol

$\eta_{KClO_{3}} = \frac{30.86 g}{122.55 g/mol} = 0.252 moles$

Now, we can find the number of moles of O₂ knowing that the ratio between KClO₃ and O₂ is 2:3

$\eta_{O_{2}} = \frac{3}{2}*0.252 moles = 0.378 moles$

Finally, the mass of O₂ is:

$m = 0.378 moles*32 g/mol = 12.10 g$

Therefore, the mass of oxygen is 12.10 g.

I hope it helps you!

Electrons must be able to flow through a material in order for the material to conduct

djverab [1.8K]

The molecular structure of the solids has lower ability to conduct electricity due to tight holding by nucleus.

<h3>Why molecular solids are poor conductors?</h3>

Molecular solids are also poor conductors of electricity because their valence electrons are tightly held by the nuclear charges present in the nucleus while on the other hand, Metals are good electrical conductors in the solid form due to the presence of free electrons that helps in the conduction of electricity.
