A camper burned a piece of paper to start a campfire. is burning paper a physical or chemical change? why?

1 answer:

4 0

A camper burning a piece of paper to start a campfire is a chemical change - the way you can think of this is to consider the fact that the paper cannot be put back together and has become ash, so this is therefore a chemical change. The carbon in the paper is oxidized into other chemical including carbon dioxide. Mass was conserved during this reaction because the mass is still the same, just in a different form.

Methanol (ch3oh) can be made by the reaction of co with h2: co(g)+2h2(g)⇌ch3oh(g) to maximize the equilibrium yield of methanol,

BlackZzzverrR [31]

The enthalpy of the creation of Methanol is negative. This means heat is released when the reaction proceeds. You would want to use a low temperature.

Define natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and liquefied natural gas (LNG). What three countries have most of the world’

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

The answer is treated below.

Explanation:

Natural gas: Natural gas is not used in its pure form; it is processed and converted into cleaner fuel for consumption. It is a fossil fuel composed almost entirely of methane, but contain small amounts of other gases, including ethane, propane, pentane and butane. It is a combustible, gaseous mixture of simple hydrocarbon compounds, usually found in deep underground reservoirs formed by porous rock. Natural gas is mainly used as fuel for generating heat and electricity.

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG): Liquefied Petroleum Gas is a byproduct of natural gas and oil extraction and crude oil refining . At room temperature, liquefied petroleum gas is a colourless and odourless gas which consists generally of butane (C4H10) or propane (C3H8) or a mixture of both.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG): Is natural gas that has been liquefied for ease of transport or storage. It is refrigerated to a very low temperature (-162 Celsius). At this temperature it becomes an odourless, non-toxic liquid that can be safely transported over long distances.

Three countries that have most of the world’s natural gas reserves

Russia
Iran
Qatar

Major advantages of using conventional natural gas as an energy resource:

It is less expensive when compared to other fossil fuels.
It is safer and easier to store when compared to other fossil fuels

Major disadvantages of using conventional natural gas as an energy resource:

It costs more to recover the remaining natural gas because of flow, access, etc.
It is not a renewable source.
it is a combustible material, It must be handled with care.
It does not contribute to greenhouse gases.

Three sources of unconventional natural gas :

Tight Gas
Shale Gas
Coalbed Methane

Major problems related to the use of Tight Gas

When Hydrofluoric acid is used to release tight gas in reserves it potentially an issue simply because the substance is so dangerous. A spill or a leak could harm workers and pollute groundwater for uses.

Major problems related to the use of Shale Gas

Risk of ground and surface water contamination.
Have impacts on air quality.

Major problems related to the use of Coalbed Methane

The development of coalbed methane will result to soil disturbance from construction of wells, roads, and the associated pipeline and electric power rights-of-ways.
It has impact on wildlife.
