Previously in this lesson it was mentioned that, according to some reports, in the past 35 years, world oil consumption has grow

n about 45% and continues to rise. Although crude oil, or petroleum, is a natural resource, it is nonrenewable and must undergo an expensive refining process before people can use it to power their cars. Respond to this statement by describing two potential effects of such a rise in oil consumption. Also, indicate whether or not you are confident that there will be ample alternative fuels to use if we drain the oil supply.

<span>First potential effects of such a rise in oil consumption.

The first and most important potential effect could be the drain of all oil, causing an effect on our lives and on the market that could be nearly catastrophic, due to the collapse of the offer that would influence nearly all sector of the economy with a downfall which consequences are impossible to foreseen but it is possible to tell they would not be pleasant.
----
</span>Second potential effects of such a rise in oil consumption. 

The second potential effects could be the fact that as oil becomes rarer and harder to get, would also get more expensive, with a repercussion on our lifestyle that would cause many people to either lose their job or not be able to afford a car or anything powered by oil. Without valid alternatives, some sectors could experience an economic crisis of great proportion.

Am I confident that there will be ample alternative fuels to use if we drain the oil supply?

Yes, I am confident that there will be ample alternative fuels to use if we drain the oil supply. Solar and wind fuels are the future in the sector of energy, not only because oil is a non-renewable resource, but for climatic purpose too since oil is one of the greatest contributors to the human-made global warming that we are experiencing right now.

In going across a row of the periodic table, protons and electrons are added and ionization energy generally increases. In going
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ionization energy:

It is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the electron from isolated gaseous atom to make the ion.

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell.

When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required.  Where as,

When we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.

Hydrofluoric acid, hf, has a ka of 6.8 × 10−4. what are [h3o+], [f−], and [oh−] in 0.710 m hf?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

[H₃O⁺] = [F⁻] = 2.2 x 10⁻² M. & [OH⁻] = 4.55 x 10⁻¹³.

Explanation:

  • For a weak acid like HF, the dissociation of HF will be:

<em>HF + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + F⁻.</em>

[H₃O⁺] = [F⁻].

<em>∵ [H₃O⁺] = √Ka.C,</em>

Ka = 6.8 x 10⁻⁴, C = 0.710 M.

∴ [H₃O⁺] = √Ka.C = √(6.8 x 10⁻⁴)(0.710) = 2.197 x 10⁻² M ≅ 2.2 x 10⁻² M.

<em>∴ [H₃O⁺] = [F⁻] = 2.2 x 10⁻² M.</em>

<em></em>

∵ [H₃O⁺][OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴.

<em>∴ [OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴/[H₃O⁺]</em> = 10⁻¹⁴/(2.2 x 10⁻²) = <em>4.55 x 10⁻¹³.</em>
