Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Natural gas is defined as the gas which is formed naturally beneath the surface of Earth that mostly contains methane and small amounts of ethane, propane etc.

Since, natural gas upon burning produces water and carbon dioxide resulting in the release of a clean gas as compared to other fuels. Carbon dioxide produced upon burning of natural gas is 50-60% lesser in amount as compared to release of carbon dioxide upon burning of coal.

Therefore, we can conclude that burning coal produces more carbon dioxide than burning natural gas.

How do you know if a reaction is endothermic?
Vikentia [17]
In an exothermic reaction, heat is produced along with products. But in endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed. If the number of products is less than the sum of the enthalpies of the reactants, the reaction will be exothermic. If the number of products is more than the sum of the enthalpies of the reactants, the reaction is endothermic.

(chem) which is more concentrated: 45.0 grams of HCOOH dissolved in 189 mL of water or 1.5 moles of CH↓2COOH dissolved in twice
Liula [17]

Answer:

CH3COOH would be more concentrated

Explanation:

The higher the concentration value, the more concentrated it is.

The relationship between concentration, moles and volume is given by the equation;

Concentration = No of moles / Volume

5.0 grams of HCOOH dissolved in 189 mL of water

Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass = 5 / 46.03 = 0.1086 mol

Concentration = 0.1086 / 0.189 = 0.5746 mol/L

1.5 moles of CH3COOH dissolved in twice as much water

Volume = 2 * 189 = 378 ml = 0.378 L

Concentration = 1.5 / 0.378 = 3.9683 mol/L

Comparing both concentration values;

CH3COOH would be more concentrated
