Burning wood to power engines and machines ushered in the Industrial Revolution in 1769.Coal became the major fuel in the early

twentieth century and was replaced by petroleum inthe 1950s. Coal (C), natural gas (CH4), and petroleum (mainly octane, C8H18) are themodern-day fossil fuels. Write balanced equations for their reactions with oxygen(combustion) including the amount of heat produced. What is the environmentalsignificance of these changes in sources of energy

4 0

Answer:

Natural gas combustion equation:

CH4 + O2 ==> CO2 + 2 H2O + HEAT

Octane or oil combustion equation:

2C8H18 + 25 O2 ===> 16CO2 + 18 H2O.

If these fuels were replaced by self-sustaining energy sources, the contamination of the environment would be less, since their combustion generates toxic compounds that damage the ozone layer, promoting the greenhouse effect, increasing the Earth's temperature and also promoting the increase in the passage of ultraviolet radiation.

Explanation:

The combustion reactions are exothermic, and irreversible, they can be complete and incomplete combustions.

They always consist of oxygen as a reagent and water and carbon dioxide as a product (complete), in the case of the incomplete the difference is that the products vary and there may be waste or chemical compounds that failed to burn.

What is the function of a mordant in gram staining?
Anna71 [15]
The  function  of  mordant  in  the   gram  staining  is  to   expose  grams  positive  cell  to  the  decolorizer  which  dissolves  the  lipids  in  the  cell  wall   thus  allowing  the  crystals  violent-iodine  to  leach  out  of  the  cell. This  facilitate  the  cell  subsequently   be  stained  by  with  safranin.

How many sulfur atoms are present in 100 grams of this compound? Report your answer to three significant figures.
kap26 [50]

Answer:

1.88 × 10²⁴ atoms

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Mass of sulfur: 100 g

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 100 g of sulfur

The molar mass of sulfur is 32.07 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 100 g of sulfur are:

100 g × (1 mol/32.07 g) = 3.12 mol

Step 3: Calculate the number of atoms in 3.12 moles of sulfur

We will use Avogadro's number: there are 6.02 × 10²³ atoms of sulfur in 1 mole of sulfur.

3.12 mol × (6.02 × 10²³ atoms/1 mol) = 1.88 × 10²⁴ atoms

Question 7-Which of the following is not an acid-base neutralization reaction?
docker41 [41]

Answer:- It is choice D. H_2SO_4+2NaCl\rightarrow 2HCl+Na_2SO_4

Explanations:- In general, a neutralization reaction is the reaction of an acid with base to form salt and water.

in first reaction the reaction is taking place between ammonia(a base) and hydrochloric acid(an acid) to form their salt(ammonium chloride). So, it is an acid-base neutralization reaction.

In second reaction, sodium hydroxide(a base) is reacting with acetic acid(an acid) to form their salt(sodium acetate) and water. So, it is an acid-base neutralization reaction.

In third reaction, Nitric acid is reacting with calcium hydroxide(a base) to form a salt(calcium nitrate) and water. So, it is an acid-base neutralization reaction.

In fourth reaction, sulfuruc acid is reacting a sodium chloride(a salt) to give a double replacement reaction. It is not an acid-base neutralization reaction as it's not taking place between an acid and base.

So, the correct choice is D. H_2SO_4+2NaCl\rightarrow 2HCl+Na_2SO_4

En un recipiente colocamos unos cubos de hielo luego tapamos y observamos que sucede despues de un tiempo
SSSSS [86.1K]

Three questions come along with the given statement. It is in Spanish language:



a) Por qué se humedeció la parte exterior del frasco?


b) Por qué el hielo disminuyó su volumen y ahora es agua?


c) Por qué puede haber agua en el exterior?



These are the three answers (in English).



First question:



a) Por qué se humedeció la parte exterior del frasco?



The question is Why did the outside of the bottle get wet?



Answer:



The outside of the bottle get wet because the ice cubes cooled the walls of the bottle, so the air surrounding the bottle also cooled.



The air contains humidity (water) in gas phase. The hotter the air the more the amount of humidity it can retain, the cooler the air the less the amount of humidity it can retain.


Then, when the air close to the walls of the bootle got cooler some of the water in the air became liquid and those are the drops of water that you see in the outside of the bottle.



Second question



b) Por qué el hielo disminuyó su volumen y ahora es agua?



The question is Why did the ice diminish its volume and now it is water?



Answer:




The ice diminished its volume and now it is water, becasue the ice, which is cooler than the surroundings, received heat energy (from the surroundings) and then its temperature increased. At some moment, this temperature reached the melting point of the ice (water) and it started to become liquid.



Third question



c) Por qué puede haber agua en el exterior?



The question is: Why can there be water outside?




Answer:



The water outside is outside since the beginning: it is in the air. You do not see it because it is gas state. When the air close to the walss of the bottle got cooler, part of the water in the air became liquid.
