Answer and explanation;

Coal has aromatic hydrocarbons with high molar mass and has a high ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Burning coal produces more soot than burning other fossil fuels does because of it.

Fossil fuel mixtures of hydrocarbons that formed from the remains of plants or animals. Burning fossil fuels increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This increase may affect temperatures, amounts of rain and sea levels worldwide. Some sulfur and nitrogen are in fossil fuels, and air contains nitrogen.

Answer: 228.8 g

Explanation:

1) Chemical equation, balanced: given

$2H_20_2---\ \textgreater \ 2H_2O + O_2$

2) mole ratios

2 mol H2O2 : 2 mol H2O :1 mol O2

3) proportion with the unknown quantity of O2:

2 mol H2O2 14.3 mol H2O2
------------------- = -----------------------
1mol O2 x

4) Solve for x:

x = 14.3 mol H2O2 * 1 mol O2 / 2 mol H2O2 = 7.15 mol O2

5) Convert 7.15 mol O2 to grams

molar mass = mass in grams / number of moles

=> mass in grams = number of moles * molar mass

molar mass of O2 = 2 * 16.00 g/mol = 32.00 g/mol

mass in grams O2 = 7.15 moles * 32.00 g / mol = 228.8 g

Answer: 228.8 g

Different between organic fertilizer and inorganic fertilizer

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Organic fertilizers are made from mined rock minerals, and natural plant and animal materials. They include ingredients like manure, guano, dried and powdered blood, ground bone, crushed shells, finely pulverized fish, phosphate rock, and wood.

Inorganic fertilizer is synthetic, comprised of minerals and synthetic chemicals. Most of the minerals in inorganic fertilizer are mined from the earth, and balanced inorganic fertilizers are high in all three macronutrients and can contain ammonium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, and potassium chloride.
