Explain why energy sources do not have 100% efficiency. Why do you think some have lower efficiencies?
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Energy sources do not have 100% efficiency because <em>the processes of energy conversion to usable forms involves energy losses. </em>

Some have lower efficiencies due to; <u>energy losses in form of heat</u> during conversion, <u>poor technology applied during conversion</u> of energy and<u> lack of desire equipment</u> to use in the energy conversion system.

Explanation:

The desired form of energy for use is derived from conversion of energy from the source using an energy converter into another form which is usable. The efficiency of the energy converter is calculated as;

л = output energy/input energy

The efficiency of energy is limited to the cost of equipment required for conversion from energy source by the energy converter to a form which is usable. Additionally, because energy sources are scarce, the technology to use in energy  conversion is a factor affecting energy efficiency in that high efficiency will require advanced technology with better equipment leading higher costs of that energy form. when heat losses are involved during energy conversion, efficiency lowers, thus its better if such losses are used as energy input in another system.

How many grams are in 3.14 moles of PI₃?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 1290 \ g \ PI_3}}

Explanation:

We want to convert from moles to grams, so we must use the molar mass.

<h3>1. Molar Mass</h3>

The molar mass is the mass of 1 mole of a substance. It is the same as the atomic masses on the Periodic Table, but the units are grams per mole (g/mol) instead of atomic mass units (amu).

We are given the compound PI₃ or phosphorus triiodide. Look up the molar masses of the individual elements.

  • Phosphorus (P): 30.973762 g/mol
  • Iodine (I): 126.9045 g/mol

Note that there is a subscript of 3 after the I in the formula. This means there are 3 moles of iodine in 1 mole of the compound PI₃. We should multiply iodine's molar mass by 3, then add phosphorus's molar mass.

  • I₃: 126.9045 * 3=380.7135 g/mol
  • PI₃: 30.973762 + 380.7135 = 411.687262 g/mol

<h3>2. Convert Moles to Grams</h3>

Use the molar mass as a ratio.

\frac {411.687262 \ g \ PI_3}{ 1 \  mol \ PI_3}

We want to convert 3.14 moles to grams, so we multiply by that value.

3.14 \ mol \ PI_3 *\frac {411.687262 \ g \ PI_3}{ 1 \  mol \ PI_3}

The units of moles of PI₃ cancel.

3.14 *\frac {411.687262 \ g \ PI_3}{ 1 }

1292.698 \ g\ PI_3

<h3>3. Round</h3>

The original measurement of moles has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the tens place.

  • 1292.698

The 2 in the ones place tells us to leave the 9.

1290 \ g \ PI_3

3.14 moles of phosphorous triiodide is approximately equal to <u>1290 grams of phosphorus triodide.</u>

The reaction of hemoglobin with oxygen can be written as follows. hb + o2 â hbo2 if the amount of oxygen available to the blood
riadik2000 [5.3K]
Oxygen is needed to carry out a lot of biochemical processes in the body. If the amount of oxygen available to the blood decreases significantly a lot of things will go wrong in the body. For instance, lack of adequate oxygen will lead to the death of neurons which will eventually leads to brain cells death and irreparable brain damage. Oxygen is also needed for cellular respiration, without respiration, there will not be oxygen for carrying out various cellular activities and this will result into death. Oxygen deprivation will also leads to difficulty in breathing and other associated problems.
