Explain how burning coal to generate electricity is really just an energy conversion starting with solar energy from the Sun and

ending with turning on a light in your house.
Chemistry

GuDViN [60]4 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Energy conversion in using coal to generate electricity:

   Solar energy → Chemical energy → Heat energy → Mechanical energy  → Electrical energy

Solar energy from the sun is used by plants in the process of photosynthesis to manufacture their food. This solar energy is used to produce glucose and other substances useful for the sustenance of the plant. The food and plant matter are made up of a lot carbon compounds that posses chemical energy. When plants dies, the matter is collected in an anoxic environment and shallow swamps where they are lithified to form coal.

In power plants, coal is pulverized into smaller bits and burnt to produce heat energy. The heat energy is used to heat water to produce steam. Turbines have been engineered to transform mechanical energy into electrical energy as they rotate when driven by steam from boilers.

Electrical energy is seen as light in our homes.

Which fundamental mechanisms appear in the reaction between pyridinium chlorochromate and a secondary alcohol
oksano4ka [1.4K]

The idea is to foretell the formation of a carbonyl compound by the reaction between alcohol and too much pyridinium chlorochromate. An oxidizing agent called pyridinium chlorochromate converts the alcohol group into the 1carbonyl group.

The carbonyl molecule that results from the reaction will depend on the reactant's OH group. Pyridinium chlorochromate [PCC] converts primary OH to aldehydes, whereas it converts secondary OH to ketones, and oxidation of tertiary OH has little effect. Alcohols and pyridinium chlorochromate [PCC] react to create a carbonyl molecule.

From primary alcohols to aldehydes and from secondary alcohols to ketones, pyridinium chlorochromate oxidizes alcohols one step up the oxidation ladder. pyridinium chlorochromate will not oxidize aldehydes to carboxylic acids, in contrast to chromic acid. Comparable to Pyridine (the Collins reagent) and CrO3 will both oxidize primary alcohols to aldehydes. Here are two instances of pyridinium chlorochromate being used.

How many atoms are in 0.075 mol of titanium?
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>4.5 × 10²²</h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of atoms of titanium , given it's number of moles we use the formula

<h3>N = n × L</h3>

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question

n = 0.075 mol

We have

N = 0.075 × 6.02 × 10²³

We have the final answer as

<h3>4.5 × 10²²</h3>

Hope this helps you
