Discuss the environmental impacts or gas fracking.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Allushta [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

gas fracking is a process of drilling into the surface of the earth and injecting the rocks with a mixture of chemicals, sand and water at high pressure t release gas.

Explanation:

environmental impacts of gas fracking.

1. during fracking a chemical called methane is released into the atmosphere which is a greenhouse gas and thus pollutes the air

2. Fracking uses gallons of water. Thus, during this process a lot of water is wasted and that directly causes the shortage of clean and hygienic water available for the surrounding residents.

3. It is also a cause for soil degradation and soil pollution. fracking is a high risk potential for oil spill which degrades the soil. It also harms the vegetation around the fracking site.

4. Due to high pressure used during fracking, it may also cause natural disasters like earthquakes.

Calcula el pH de las siguientes sustancias formadas durante una erupción volcánica:
Virty [35]

<em>Calculate the pH of the following substances formed during a volcanic eruption: </em>

<em>• Acid rain if the [H +] is 1.9 x 10-5 </em>

<em>• Sulfurous acid if [H +] = 0.10 </em>

<em>• Nitric acid if [H +] = 0.11</em>

<em />

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

pH is the degree of acidity of a solution that depends on the concentration of H⁺ ions. The greater the value the more acidic the solution and the smaller the pH.  

pH = - log [H⁺]  

  • pH acid rain

\tt pH=-log[1.9\times 10^{-5}]\\\\pH=5-log1.9\\\\pH=4.72

  • pH Sulfurous acid

\tt pH=-log[10^{-1}]\\\\pH=1

  • pH Nitric acid

\tt pH=-log[11\times 10^{-2}]\\\\pH=2-log~11=0.959

a couple of pennies have a mas of 5.2 grams. Asuming that the pennies are 100% percent copper,how many moles of copper are the p
dangina [55]

Answer:

5.2g copper (Cu) => 0.082 moles copper (2 sig.figs.)

Explanation:

mole conversions:

grams to moles => divide by formula wt.

moles to grams => multiply by formula wt.

gas volumes to moles => divide volume by 22.4Liters/mole (STP conditions only)

This problem:

mass to moles => divide by formula wt.

mass = 5.2g = 5.2g/63.5g/mole = 0.082 moles copper (2 sig.figs.)

During the combustion of 2.00 g of coal, the temperature of 500 g of water inside the calorimeter increased from 25.0°c to 43.7°
pantera1 [17]
Answer is: 39,083kJ.
m(coal) = 2,00g.
m(water) = 500g.
ΔT = 43,7°C - 25°C = 18,7°C, <span>difference at temperatures.</span>
c(water) = 4,18 J/g·°C, <span>specific heat of water
</span>Q = m(water)·ΔT·c(water), heat of reaction.
Q = 500g·18,7°C·4,18J/g·°C.
Q = 39083J = 39,083kJ.
