Explain why oil is called a fossil fuel.

2 answers:

6 0

Fossil fuels are called so because they have been derived from fossils, which were formed millions of years ago during the time of the dinosaurs. They are fossilized organic remains that over millions of years have been converted to oil, gas, and coal. ... These fuels are made up of decomposed plant and animal matter.

Oil is referred to as a fossil fuel because it is derived from fossils.

Fossil fuels are the result of dinosaur remains being put under pressure for millions of years.

Answer:

23.34 %.

Explanation:

The percentage of water must be calculated as a mass percent.

We need to find the mass of water, and the total mass in one mole of the compound. For that we need to use the atomic masses of each element and take in consideration the number of atoms of each element in the formula unit.

Atomic masses of the elements:

Cd: 112.411 g/mol, N: 14.0067 g/mol, O: 15.999 g/mol, and H: 1.008 g/mol.

Mass of the formula unit:

Cd(NO₃)₂•4H₂O

mass of the formula unit = (At. mass of Cd) + 2(At. mass of N) + 10(At. mass of O) + 8(At. mass of H) = (112.411 g/mol) + 2(14.0067 g/mol) + 10(15.999 g/mol) + 8(1.008 g/mol) = 308.5 g/mol.

Mass of water in the formula unit:

mass of water = (4 × 2 × 1.008 g/mol) + (4 × 15.999 g/mol) = 72.0 g/mol.

So, the percent of water in the compound = [mass of water / mass of the formula unit] × 100 = [(72.0 g/mol)/(308.5 g/mol)] × 100 = 23.34 %

What is the molarity of a solution of sulfuric acid if 49.0 mL of it are neutralized by a titration

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

THE MOLARITY OF THE ACID IS 0.232M

Explanation:

Molarity is the number of moles of solute per liter of a solution.

In titration, the molarity of the acid and the molarity of the base are related by this equation:

Ca VA / CbVb = na / nb

Ca = concentration of the acid = ?

Va = volume of the acid = 49 mL

Cb = concentration of the base = 0.333M

Vb = volume of the base = 68.4mL

Na = number of mole of acid = 1

Nb = number of mole of base = 2

Equation for the reaction:

H2SO4 + 2NaOH --------> Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Solving for the molarity of the acid, we have :

Ca = CbVbNa / VaNb

Ca = 0.333M * 68.4mL * 1 / 49mL *2

Ca = 22.7772 * 10^-3 / 98 *10^-3

Ca = 0.232M

The molarity of the acid is therefore 0.232M.

What is smaller than atoms and bigger than molecule

AnnyKZ [126]

Atoms are smaller than molecules, and they are also the smallest building blocks of matter. Atoms make up molecules when two or more atoms bond.
