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.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

                    3.2 moles of Oxygen

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                        Acetic Acid having chemical formula C₂H₄O₂ and structural formula attached below is the second member of carboxylic family in organic compounds. It is commonly used as vinegar<em> i.e</em>. a mixture containing 5 % Acetic acid and 95 % water.

As shown in structure 1 mole of Acetic acid contains 2 moles of Carbon atoms, 4 moles of Hydrogen atoms and 2 moles of Oxygen atoms respectively. Hence, the number of moles of Oxygen atoms contained by acetic acid containing 3.2 moles of Carbon is calculated as,

                      2 moles of C accompany  =  2 moles of O

So,

               3.2 moles of C will accompany  =  X moles of O

Solving for X,

                     X  =  (3.2 mol C × 2 mol O) ÷ 2 mol C

                      X =  3.2 mol of Oxygen

How many atoms of hydrogen are in two moles of ch4?
ziro4ka [17]
There are four Hydrogen atoms in one molecule of Methane (CH₄).
And there are 6.022×10²³ molecules in 1 mole of CH₄.
So,
Number of Hydrogen atoms is 1 mole of CH₄ are,

                      =  6.022 × 10²³ × 4
                 
                      =  2.4 ×10²⁴ Hydrogen Atoms

Now calculating for 2 moles,

As,
                   1 mole of CH₄ contains  =  2.4 ×10²⁴ Hydrogen Atom
Then,
             2 moles of CH₄ will contain  =  X Hydrogen Atoms

Solving for X,
                          X  =  (2 moles × 2.4 ×10²⁴ Hydrogen Atom) ÷ 1 mole

                          X  =  4.8 × 10²⁴ Hydrogen Atoms

Which of the following requires an oxidizing agent?
laila [671]
Correct Answer: First Option

An oxidizing agent causes the oxidation of the other atom/element by itself being reduced. In simple words we can state that oxidizing agent gains electrons from the other atom/element i.e. the other atom loses electrons.

From the given options we have to find in which of them electrons are being removed. When the electrons are removed, the number of protons in the atom will be more than the number of electrons. As a result the net charge on the atom will be positive. 

First option lists such a change. Initially charge on Al is neutral, 3 electrons are removed and it get +3 charge. This shows that Al is being oxidized, so it needs an oxidizing agent.
