wel4 years ago
5 0

Fossil Fuels Account for Lowest Share of U.S. Energy Consumption in More than a Century. Fossil fuels supplied about 80 percent of the energy consumed in the United States in 2017, the lowest share since 1902, according to a new report from the U.S. Department of Energy.

Compare strontium with rubidium in terms of the following properties:
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Strontium is smaller

Strontium has the higher ionization energy

Strontium has more valence electrons

Explanation:

It must be understood that both elements belong to the same period i.e the same horizontal band of the periodic table

While Rubidium is an alkali metal(group 1) while Strontium is an alkali earth metal(group 2)

Since they are in the same period, periodic trends would be useful in evaluating their properties

In terms of atomic radius, rubidium is larger meaning it has a bigger atomic size

Generally, across the periodic table, atomic radius is expected to decrease and thus Rubidium which is leftmost is expected to have the higher atomic radius

Since strontium belongs to group 2 of the periodic table, it has 2 valence electrons which is more than the single valence electron that rubidium which is in group 1 has

In terms of ionization energy, the atom with the higher number of valence electrons will have the higher ionization energy which is strontium in this case

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Ketones and ketoacids are alternative fuels for the body that are made when glucose is in short supply. They are made in the liver from the breakdown of fats. Ketones are formed when there is not enough sugar or glucose to supply the body's fuel needs. This occurs overnight, and during dieting or fasting.

A certain substance X has a normal freezing point of −3.1°C and a molal freezing point depression constant =Kf·6.23°C·kgmol−1. C
muminat

Answer:

Freezing T° of solution =  - 7.35 °C

Explanation:

This is about the freezing point depression, a colligative property which depends on solute.

The formula is: Freezing T° pure solvent - Freezing T° solution = m . Kf . i

Freezing T° of pure solvent is -3.1°C

At this case, i = 1. As an organic compound the urea does not ionize.

We determine the molality (mol/kg of solvent)

We convert mass to moles:

12.3 g . 1mol / 60.06 g = 0.205 moles

0.205 mol / 0.3 kg = 0.682 mol/kg

We replace data in the formula:

-3.1°C - Freezing T° of solution  = 0.682 mol/kg . 6.23 kg°C/mol . 1

Freezing T° of solution = 0.682 mol/kg . 6.23 kg°C/mol . 1 + 3.1°C

Freezing T° of solution =  - 7.35 °C
