Both are oxidation reactions. Burning is just a lot faster than rusting.

4. Which of these are environmental costs of using

Vinvika [58]

Answer: b. The waste generated is hazardous and must be disposed of.

c. Nuclear material can be spilled into the ocean if reactors are near the coast.

d. A large amount of cold water is generated, which must be stored somewhere.

Explanation:

The main environmental costs for produced during the nuclear power plant consists of procurement of fuel and the thermal load is also produced with cold water discharge in the sea. This can contaminate the sea, hence, must be stored somewhere. The nuclear waste consists of radioactive substances which are hazardous for the environment. The nuclear based electricity does not produce carbon dioxide.

Problem PageQuestionSteam reforming of methane ( ) produces "synthesis gas," a mixture of carbon monoxide gas and hydrogen gas,

Serhud [2]

The question is incomplete. Her eis the complete question.

Steam reforming methane (CH4) produces "synthesis gas", a mixture of carbon monoxide gas and hydrogen gas, which is the starting point for many important industrial chemical syntheses. An industrial chemist studying this reaction fills a 125L tank with 20 mol of methane gas and 10 mol of water vapor at 38°C. He then raises the temperature, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium measures the amount of gas hydrogen to be 18 mol. Calculate the concentration equilibrium constant for the steam reforming of methane at the final temperature of the mixture. Round your answer to significant digits.

Answer: $K_{c}$ = 2. $10^{-2}$

Explanation: The reaction for steam reforming methane is:

$CH_{4} + H_{2}O$ ⇒ $CO_{} + 3H_{2}$

To calculate the concentration equilibrium constant, first calculate the molarity ( $\frac{mol}{L}$ ) of each molecule of the reaction.

At 38°C: At the initial temperature, there no products yet

Molarity of CH4:

CH4 = $\frac{20}{125}$ = 0.16M

Molarity of H20:

H2O = $\frac{10}{125}$ = 0.08M

At final temperature:

Molarity of H2:

H2 = $\frac{18}{125}$ = 0.144M

According to the chemical reaction, the combination of 1 mol of each reagents produces 1 mol of CO and 3 mols of H2, so, for the products, the ratio is 1:3.

Molarity of CO:

CO = $\frac{0.144}{3}$ = 0.048M

For the reagents, the proportion is 1:1, but they had an initial concentration, so, when in equilibrium, the concentration will be:

Molarity of CH4:

CH4 = 0.16 - 0.048 = 0.112M

Molarity of H2O:

H20 = 0.08 - 0.048 = 0.032M

The equilibrium constant is given by:

$K_{c} = \frac{[CO][H_{2}]^{3} }{[CH_{4}][H_{2}O ] }$

$K_{c}$ = $\frac{0.048.0.144^{3} }{0.112.0.032}$

$K_{c}$ = 2. $10^{-2}$

The concentration equilibrium constant for the process is $K_{c}$ = 2. $10^{-2}$ .
