What is the order of energy sources for least net carbon dioxide emission?

Chemistry

Answer:

Explanation:

Peat is the least carbon efficient fuel source when compared to other fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas or coal, and its combustion can emit over 90% of total CO2 emissions of the full peat energy chain.

Burning wood pellets releases as much or even more carbon dioxide per unit of energy as burning coal, so in order for burning pellets to be carbon-neutral the carbon emitted into the atmosphere has to be recaptured in regenerated forests

Biofuels may be carbon-neutral because the plants that are used to make biofuels (such as corn and sugarcane for ethanol and soy beans and oil palm trees for biodiesel) absorb CO2 as they grow and may offset the CO2 emissions when biofuels are produced and burned.

Growing plants for biofuels is controversial because the land, fertilizers, and energy for growing biofuel crops could be used to grow food crops instead. In some parts of the world, large areas of natural vegetation and forests have been cut down to grow sugar cane for ethanol and soybeans and oil palm trees for biodiesel.

Pyrolysis with biochar carbon sequestration provides a tool to combine sustainable soil management (carbon sequestration), and renewable energy production. While producing renewable energy from biomass, carbon sequestration, agricultural productivity, and environmental quality can be sustained and improved if the biomass is transferred to an inactive carbon pool and redistributed to agricultural fields.

Which of the following elements is going to be the most reactive and why? Nitrogen or Oxygen?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

(C) Oxygen because it has the strongest attractive force and the largest

electronegativity

Explanation:

Oxygen will be most reactive

configuration = 1s^22s^22p^4

As oxygen need only two electrons to complete its octet.

Oxygen will have stronger force than nitrogen as it will tend to pull electrons more to complete its octet. Also along the period electronegativity increases so oxygen has higher electronegativity than nitrogen
