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.

The average atomic mass of the imaginary element : 47.255 amu

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The elements in nature have several types of isotopes

Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes

Mass atom X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.% ..

isotope E-47 47.011 amu, 87.34%

isotope E-48 48.008 amu, 6.895

isotope E-49 50.009 amu, 5.77%

The average atomic mass :

$\tt avg~mass=0.8734\times 47.011+0.06895\times 48.008+0.0577\times 50.009\\\\avg~mass=41.059+3.310+2.886\\\\avg~mass=47.255~amu$

The boiling point of water is 1000C.

sergejj [24]

Answer:

a) The heat which we supply to water during boiling is used to overcome these forces of attraction between the particles so that they become totally free and change into a gas. This latent heat does not increase the kinetic energy of water particles and hence no rise in temperature takes place during the boiling of water.

b) Steam produces more severe burns than boiling water even though both are at 100oC because steam contains more heat, in the form of latent heat, than boiling water.

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete but some general explanation provides a clear answer to what is been asked in the question.

An ionic/electrovalent compound is a compound whose constituent atoms are joined together by ionic bond. Ionic bond is a bond involving the transfer of valence electron(s) from an atom (to form a positively charged cation) to another atom (to form a negatively charged anion). The atom transferring is usually a metal while the atom receiving is usually a non-metal.

For example (as shown in the attachment), in the formation of NaCl salt, the sodium (Na) transfers the single electron (valence) on it's outermost shell to chlorine (Cl) which ordinarily has 7 electrons on it's outermost shell but becomes 8 after receiving the valence electron from sodium. It should also be noted that Na is a metal while Cl is a non-metal.
