How do we turn petroleum into energy we use?

Chemistry

You don't "turn" it into energy; petroleum HAS stored energy (chemical energy).However, you can turn it into ANOTHER TYPE OF ENERGY; usually this is done by burning the petroleum, and using it to drive machinery.

Since burning fuels is wasteful (the efficiency is limited, in theory, to the Carnot efficiency of a heat engine), other options are being explored, such as chemical reactions in a fuel cell. But such technology is not yet used on a large scale.

Beaker A contains 100.0 g of water initially at 10EC. Beaker B contains 100.0 g of water initially at 20°C. The contents of the
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

(A) 15.0 °C

Explanation:

The water in beaker A gains heat because its initial temperature (10 °C) is less than the initial temperature of the water in beaker B (20 °C) which loses heat.

Let T3 be the final temperature

Heat gained by beaker A = heat loss by beaker B

mc(T3 - T1) = mc(T2 - T3)

The mass and specific heat of water in both beakers are the same. Therefore, (T3 - T1) = (T2 - T3)

T1 is initial temperature of beaker A = 10 °C

T2 is initial temperature of beaker B = 20 °C

T3 - 10 = 20 - T3

T3 + T3 = 20 + 10

2T3 = 30

T3 = 30/2 = 15 °C

The formation of a white cloud
saw5 [17]
Most clouds are white. That's because water and ice particles that make up a cloud have just the right amount and sizes to scatter light in all possible wavelengths. When light of practically all wavelengths combine, the result is white light.
