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

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.

For the following reaction, 35.4 grams of zinc oxide are allowed to react with 6.96 grams of water . zinc oxide(s) + water(l) --
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

m_{Zn(OH)_2}=38.4g

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for the undergoing chemical reaction:

ZnO(s)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow Zn(OH)_2

We evaluate the yielded moles of zinc hydroxide by each reactant as shown below:

n_{Zn(OH)_2}^{by ZnO}=35.4gZnO*\frac{1molZnO}{81.38gZnO}*\frac{1molZn(OH)_2}{1molZnO}  =0.435molZn(OH)_2\\\\n_{Zn(OH)_2}^{by H_2O}=6.96gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18.02gH_2O}*\frac{1molZn(OH)_2}{1molH_2O}  =0.386molZn(OH)_2

In such a way, since the water yields a smaller amount of zinc hydroxide we conclude it is the limiting reactant so the maximum mass is computed below:

m_{Zn(OH)_2}=0.386molZn(OH)_2*\frac{99.424 gZn(OH)_2}{1molZn(OH)_2} \\\\m_{Zn(OH)_2}=38.4g

Because the water limits the yielded amount of zinc hydroxide.

Best regards!

What happens if you choose the wrong solvent while setting up your NMR experiment?
MissTica

Answer:

Please see the answer..hope its works

Explanation:

The NMR spectrometer will acquire data for the wrong chemical shift range and you will potentially have skewed data when opening spinworks-NMR spectrometer examines a specific 12 ppm range based on the expected solvent peak, and if a different solvent is used a different range may be examined

To explain further, If the user declares the wrong solvent, one of two things may happen. Firstly, the spectrometer may not be able to establish a deuterium lock and will report an error and not run the sample. Secondly, the spectrometer may be able to establish a lock despite the fact that the deuterium signal is off resonance. If the lock is established, the field strength will be set to a value appropriate to put the declared solvent signal on-resonance. When a proton NMR spectrum is collected, the chemical shift scale will be incorrect by an amount equal to the proton chemical shift difference between the true solvent and the declared solvent.
