How do we turn petroleum into energy we use?

Chemistry
1 answer:
arlik [135]3 years ago
7 0

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.

A chemist requires 0.802 mol Na2CO3 for a reaction. How many grams does this correspond to?
Komok [63]

Answer:

Ok:

Explanation:

So grams = mols*MolarMass. Here, MolarMass (MM) = 105.99g which can be found using the periodic table. mols is given to be 0.802. We can then plug in to get that it corresponds to 85.0g.
