Answer:

the process that powers the sun and the stars. It is the reaction in which two atoms of hydrogen combine together, or fuse, to form an atom of helium. In the process some of the mass of the hydrogen is converted into energy. The easiest fusion reaction to make happen is combining deuterium (or “heavy hydrogen) with tritium (or “heavy-heavy hydrogen”) to make helium and a neutron. Deuterium is plentifully available in ordinary water. Tritium can be produced by combining the fusion neutron with the abundant light metal lithium. Thus fusion has the potential to be an inexhaustible source of energy.

How have humans contributed to an increase in carbon dioxide levels in the past 100 years?

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is an important green house gas. A small increase in the concentration of this gas can lead to the global rise in the surface temperature. Over the last 100 years, this gas has increased significantly. One of the main cause behind this the anthropogenic activities.

After the setup of the industrial revolution, there has been a large increase in this CO₂ concentration, as there are numerous large factories and indutries that releases this harmful gases. In addition to this, the burning up of fossil fuel also is responsible for the emission of large amount of carbon into the atmosphere.

Deforestation also is another cause, because trees are no longer there in vast quantities which takes up a large number of atmospheric carbon and in return liberates plenty of oxygen.

Thus, the activities done by man over the last century has led to the increase in the concentration of CO₂ into the atmosphere.

Please somebody give me the answers

RSB [31]

Answer:

1. 9.4 grams of methane produce 25.85 grams of CO2

2.Grams of water produced = 11.81 grams

3.Mass of Methane produced by 10.1 gram of O2 = 2.52 grams

4.Amount of methane consumed = 46.9 grams

5. Grams of Co2 produced = 8.32 grams

Explanation:

Molar masses :

Methane = CH4 = mass of C + 4x (mass of H)

CH4 = 12 +4(1) = 16 grams

1 mole of CH4 = 16 gram

Oxygen O2 = 2 x (mass of O) = 2x(16) = 32 gram (1 mole of O2 =32 gram)

Carbon Dioxide =CO2 = mass of C + 2(mass of O)

= 12 + 2(16)

= 44 grams (1 mole of CO2 = 44 gram )

Water = H2O = 18 grams ( 1 mole of H2O = 18 gram)

1 mole of each molecule is equal to their molar masses

The balanced equation is :

$1CH_{4}(g)+2O_{2}\rightarrow 1CO_{2}+2H_{2}O(l)$

According to Stoichiometry :

1 mole of CH4 = 2 Mole of O2 = 1 mole of CO2 = 2 mole of H2O

1. From the equation ,

1 mole of methane produce =1 mole of CO2

16 gram of methane = 44 gram of CO2

1 gram of methane =

$\frac{44}{16}$ gram of CO2

9.4 gram of CH4 =

$\frac{44}{16}\times 9.4$ gram of CO2

= 25 .85 gram of CO2

2 mole of O2 produces = 2 mole of H2O(water)

1 mole of O2 produces = 1 mole of H2O

32 gram of O2 = 18 gram of water

1 gram of O2 =

$\frac{18}{32}$

21 gram of O2 =

$\frac{18}{32}\times 21$

11.81 gram of water

3. 1 mole of CH4 = 2 mole of O2

16 gram of CH4 = 2(32) = 64 grams of O2

64 gram of O2 needs = 16 grams of CH4

1 gram of O2 needs =

$\frac{16}{64}$

10.1 gram of O =

$\frac{16}{64}\times 10.1$ of CH4

= 2.52 gram

1 mole of CO2 is produced from = 1 mole of CH4

44 gram of CO2 is produced from 16 gram of CH4

1 gram CO2 =

$\frac{16}{44}$ gram of CH4

129 gram of CO2 =

$\frac{16}{44}\times 129$ gram of CH4

= 46.90 grams

2 mole of O2 produce = 1 mole of CO2

2x 32 gram of O2 = 44 gram of CO2

1 gram of O2 =

$\frac{44}{64}$ of CO2

12.1 gram of O2 produce=

$\frac{44}{64}\times 12.1$ of CO2

= 8.318 gram

Note : Write the quantity give on left side of "="

write the substance asked on right side of "="
