Answer:

but why are you asking about water

Explanation:

when combustion is done with coal hydrocarbons are released in air this pollute the air

I don’t know what that guy was talking about above but here’s how it is connected to water and air

Answer:
Air:
When coal is burned it releases a number of airborne toxins and pollutants. They include mercury, lead, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulates, and various other heavy metals. Health impacts can range from asthma and breathing difficulties, to brain damage, heart problems, cancer, neurological disorders, and premature death.

Although limits set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have helped prevent some of these emissions, many plants don’t have the necessary pollution controls installed. The future of these protections remains unclear.

Water:
When you burn charcoal in your grill at home, ash is leftover. The same is true for coal-fired power plants, which produce more than 100 million tons of coal ash every year. More than half of that waste ends up in ponds, lakes, landfills, and other sites where, over time, it can contaminate waterways and drinking water supplies.

Other water impacts include acid rock drainage from coal mines, the obliteration of mountain streams and valleys by mountain top removal mining, and the energy-water collisions that occur when coal plants rely too heavily on local water supplies.

How many moles, kmols in: 100 g of CO2, 1 litre of ethyl alcohol of density 0.789 g/cm3 and a) 1.5m3 of O2 at 25°C and 1 atm. b)
Nutka1998 [239]

Explanation:

1) Mass of carbon dioxide = 100 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Moles of carbon dioxide =\frac{100 g}{44 g/mol}=2.273 moles

1 mol = 0.001 kmol

2.273 moles= 2.273 × 0.001 kmol = 2.273\times 10^{-3} kmol

2) 1 liter of ethyl alcohol of density 0.789 g/cm^3

Volume of ethyl alcohol ,V= 1 L = 1000 mL

Density of ethyl alcohol =d = 0.789 g/cm^3

1 cm^3=1 mL

Mass of ethyl alcohol = m

m=d\times V=0.789 g/cm^3\times 1000 mL=789 g

Molar mass of  ethyl alcohol = 46 g/mol

Moles of ethyl alcohol = \frac{789 g}{46 g/mol}=17.152 mol

17.152 mol=17.152\times 0.001 kmol=1.7152\times 10^{-4} kmol

3) Volume of oxygen gas,V =1.5 m^3=1500 L

1 m^3= 1000 L

Temperature of the gas = T= 25°C = 298.15 K

Pressure of the gas ,P= 1 atm

Moles of oxygen gas = n

PV=nRT

n=\frac{RT}{PV}=\frac{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 298.15 K}{1 atm\times 1500 L}=0.01632 mol

0.01632 mol = 0.01632 × 0.001 kmol=1.632\times 10^{-5} kmol

4) Volume water in mixture = 1 L

Density of water =  1000 kg/m^3=\frac{1,000,000 g}{1000 L}=1000 g/L

Mass of water = 1000 g/L\times 1 L = 1000 g

Volume of alcohol = 2.5 L

Density of alcohol =  789 kg/m^3=\frac{789000 g}{1000 L}=789 g/L

Mass of alcohol = 789 g/L\times 2.5 L = 1972.5 g

Mass of mixture = 1000 g + 1972.5 g = 2972.5 g

Mass percentage of water :

\frac{1000 g}{2972.5 g}\times 100=33.64\%

Mass percentage of alcohol :

\frac{1972.5 g}{2972.5 g}\times 100=66.36\%

Moles of water :

n_1=\frac{1000 g}{18 g/mol}=55.55 mol

Moles of alcohol =

n_2=\frac{1972.5 g}{46 g/mol}=42.88 mol

Mole fraction of water :

\chi_1=\frac{n_1}{n_1+n_2}=\frac{55.55 mol}{55.55 mol+42.88 mol}=0.5644

Mole fraction of alcohol :

\chi_2=\frac{n_2}{n_1+n_2}=\frac{42.88 mol}{55.55 mol+42.88 mol}=0.4356
