Why does coal usually produce more soot than other fossil fuels when burned?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Elenna [48]3 years ago
6 0

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.

. Explain why some desert animals excrete uric acid rather than ammonia.<br>(2 marks)​
avanturin [10]

Answer:

AFAIK

Explanation:

uric acid is much less toxic than ammonia, hence bigger concentrations of it are tolerated in the body. This means you can excrete it while excreting very little water - beneficial wherever water's not abundant.

There's a tradeoff though, uric acid requires more energy to synthesize than ammonia, so pretty much all fish, say, excrete ammonia rather than uric acid - it's no problem to dilute ammonia since there's no water shortage.
