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

Chemistry

Natali5045456 [20]3 years ago
4 0

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

The weights of all elements are always compared to oxygen.
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12.

Explanation:

The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12 because the mass of carbon is 12 which is the exactly the sum of protons and neutrons.  

Oxygen was also considered the standard for some time but later this stander was rejected because in natural O¹⁷ and O¹⁸ were also present and this create the two different atomic mass tables.

AMU:

Atomic mass unit is define as the 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12.

C12 has six neutron and six protons in the nucleus.

This unit is used to express the masses of atoms. We know that masses of atoms are very small and we do not have any such type of balance that can measure very small quantity. So that is way we use this scale to measure small quantity. For example, according to this scale

relative atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.008 amu

relative atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999 amu

relative atomic mass of uranium is 238.0289 amu

relative atomic mass of chlorine is 35.453 amu

How much heat is required to convert 20.0 g of ice at 50.0⁰C to liquid water at 0.0⁰C? The specific heat of ice is 2.06 J/(g∙⁰C)
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

8740 joules are required to convert 20 grams of ice to liquid water.

Explanation:

The amount of heat required (Q), measured in joules, to convert ice at -50.0 ºC to liquid water at 0.0 ºC is the sum of sensible heat associated with ice and latent heat of fussion. That is:

Q = m\cdot [c\cdot (T_{f}-T_{o})+L_{f}] (1)

Where:

m - Mass, measured in grams.

c - Specific heat of ice, measured in joules per gram-degree Celsius.

T_{o}, T_{f} - Temperature, measured in degrees Celsius.

L_{f} - Latent heat of fussion, measured in joules per gram.

If we know that m = 20\,g, c = 2.06\,\frac{J}{g\cdot ^{\circ}C}, T_{f} = 0\,^{\circ}C, T_{o} = -50\,^{\circ}C and L_{f} = 334\,\frac{J}{g }, then the amount of heat is:

Q = (20\,g)\cdot \left\{\left(2.06\,\frac{J}{g\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot [0\,^{\circ}C-(-50\,^{\circ}C)]+334\,\frac{J}{g} \right\}

Q = 8740\,J

8740 joules are required to convert 20 grams of ice to liquid water.

An automobile tire at 30°C has a pressure of 3.00 atm. Temperature decreases to -5°C. Assume that there is no volume change in t
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

P₂ = 2.7 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial temperature = 30°C

Initial pressure = 3.00 atm

Final temperature = -5°C

Final pressure = ?

Solution:

Initial temperature = 30°C = 30 + 273 = 303 K

Final temperature = -5°C = -5 + 273 = 268 K

According to Gay-Lussac Law,

The pressure of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume and number of moles.

Mathematical relationship:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

Now we will put the values in formula:

3.0 atm / 303 K = P₂/268 K

P₂ = 3.0 atm × 268 K / 303 K

P₂ = 804 atm. K /293 K

P₂ = 2.7 atm
