Which fossil fuel has the least amount of carbon dioxide released in the air each year

The correct answer is - natural gas.

The natural gas is the fossil fuel that releases the least amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It actually releases very little to none. The reason for that is that the natural gas is a fossil fuel which has the methane as its main ingredient. Even when used, it is not causing some serious pollution, instead the pollution comes from not well managed infrastructure and movement from one place to another of the natural gas. The biggest problem, pollution wise, comes from the leaking of the natural gas, when methane is released into the atmosphere.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Natural gas</u><u> produces the least amount of CO2 in the air</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The amount of CO2 produced when a fuel is burned is a function of the carbon content of the fuel. The heat content, or the amount of energy produced when a fuel is burned, is mainly determined by the carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) content of the fuel. Natural gas emits 50 to 60 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) when combusted in air as compared to other fossil fuels

When iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3) is exposed to carbon monoxide (CO) under high pressure, metallic iron (Fe) and carbon dioxide (CO2)
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The equation is Fe₂O₃ + CO ⇒ Fe + CO₂.

The balanced reaction equation is Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⇒ 2Fe + 3CO₂.

Explanation:

First, we have to write our equation. It's actually pretty straightforward - first we look for our reactants (looks like it's Fe₂O₃ and CO), then we look for our products (Fe and CO₂). Then, we have to balance it so that both sides have the same number of both element.

Currently, we have the equation Fe₂O₃ + CO ⇒ Fe + CO₂. There are 2 Fe atoms, 4 O atoms, and 1 C atom on the left side. There is 1 Fe atom, 2 O atoms, and 1 C atom on the right side.

First thing we can do is give our Fe on the right side a coefficient of 2. This will make it equivalent to the 2 Fe atoms on the left side:

Fe₂O₃ + CO ⇒ 2Fe + CO₂

Next, we need to make sure that we have the same number of C and O atoms on each side. This takes a little bit of thinking, but what we have to do is give CO a coefficient of 3 and CO₂ a coefficient of 3. This gives us 6 O atoms on the left side (when we include the O₃) and 6 O atoms on the right side (since there are 3 O₂ atoms and 3 times 2 is 6). Here's what that looks like:

Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⇒ 2Fe + 3CO₂

And that's how I balanced the equation. It can be confusing, but with enough practice, it will get easier and easier. :)

What mass (in mg) does 2.63 moles of nickel have? 3.56 × 105 mg 1.54 × 105 mg 2.23 × 104 mg 129 mg?
jarptica [38.1K]
<span>1.54 x 10^5 mg The atomic weight of nickel is 58.6934 Since you have 2.63 moles, the mass will be 2.63 * 58.6934 = 154.3636 grams. Multiply by 1000 to get milligrams 154.3636 * 1000 = 154363.6 g Convert to scientific notation 1.543636 x 10^5 Look at the available options and see what matches. 3.56 x 10^5 mg ; Nope, way too big 1.54 x 10^5 mg; Matches to the number of significant figures given. 2.23 x 10^4 mg; Nope, way too small 129 mg; Nope, way too small.</span>
