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.
Answer:
20703.6J
Explanation:
Quantity of heat (Q) = mass of dioxane × enthalpy of fusion
Mass of dioxane = 142g
Enthalpy of fusion of dioxane = 145.8J/g
Q = 142g × 145.8J/g = 20703.6J
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>
= 226 Liters of oxygen
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
We use the equation;
LiClO4 (s) → 2O2 (g) + LiCl, to get the moles of oxygen;
Moles of LiClO4;
(500 g LiClO4) / (106.3916 g LiClO4/mol)
= 4.6996 moles
Moles of oxygen;
But, for every 1 mol LiClO4, two moles of O2 are produced;
= 9.3992 moles of Oxygen
V = nRT / P
= (9.3992 mol) x (8.3144621 L kPa/K mol) x (21 + 273) K / (101.5 kPa)
= 226 L of oxygen
Anesthetic in dentistry consists of a mixture of dinitrogen oxide (N₂O) and oxygen gas (O₂), which is administered through an inhaler over the nose. Total pressure of the mixture (
) is sum of partial pressure of N₂O (
) and partial pressure of O₂, (
).

=370 mmHg
So,
= (740-370) mmHg= 370 mmHg=370 torr
Hence, partial pressure of N₂O is 370 torr.
As, 1mmHg= 1 torr.
