You know that each carbon atom can take as much as 4 bonds with other elements. A hydrogen can only take one bond, while an oxygen can take 2. Thus, the chemical formula of H₂CO may be written as H₂C=O which is acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde is an aldehyde. It has a higher vapor pressure because aldehydes have much stronger bonds than hydrogen bonds in alcohols. Hence, it would need a lot energy, thus higher vapor pressure, to break the bonds of an aldehyde than it would for an alcohol.

Construct an argument for or against the immediate introduction of fuel-cell cars. Include likely points of objection from those
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Explanation:

Fuel Cell Cars are the vehicles built to run on hydrogen gas rather than running on the hydrocarbon.

Hydrocarbons are the organic compounds which are derived mostly from the crude oil. They are usually composed of Hydrogen and Carbon.

Fuel cell cars are much more better than the regular vehicles running on hydrocarbon in so many ways especially environmentally.

Listed below are some of the advantages of fuel cell cars over the regular vehicles

Fuel cells have a higher efficiency than diesel or gas engines.

Most fuel cells operate silently, compared to internal combustion engines. They are therefore ideally suited for use within buildings such as hospitals.

Fuel cells can eliminate pollution caused by burning fossil fuels; for hydrogen fuelled fuel cells, the only by-product at point of use is water.

If the hydrogen comes from the electrolysis of water driven by renewable energy, then using fuel cells eliminates greenhouse gases over the whole cycle.

Fuel cells do not need conventional fuels such as oil or gas and can therefore reduce economic dependence on oil producing countries, creating greater energy security for the user nation.

Since hydrogen can be produced anywhere where there is water and a source of power, generation of fuel can be distributed and does not have to be grid-dependent.

The use of stationary fuel cells to generate power at the point of use allows for a decentralised power grid that is potentially more stable.
