Answer: True

Explanation:

Petroleum and natural gas are both fossil fuels. They contain a mixture of hydrocarbons but they commonly have alkanes as their composition. The petroleum and natural gas produce after the degradation and decomposition of the organic matter generated after the dead and decaying plant and animal matter under the heap of sediments for long years. The natural gas specifically have methane, butane and propane. Therefore, on the basis of the above description, this can be said that natural gas and petroleum are mostly alkanes.

A sample of water at 100°C is converted to steam after absorbing 820 kJ of heat. How grams of H2O are contained in the sample? A

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Since water is already at 100<span>°C all the energy is used to evaporate it.
Now we can calculate how many </span>mols of water are evaporated with 820kJ.
$N= \frac{820}{41} =20 mol$
We calculated that we got 20 mols of water evaporated. Now, all we have to do is find how many grams is a mol of water. Molar mass of water is <span>20.16 g/mol.
</span>The final answer is:
$m=20*20.16=403.2g$
