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.

What would happen to the volume of the container if the pressure is increased by a factor of 2​
telo118 [61]

Answer:

volume of the container will decreases if pressure increases.

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law:

Pressure is inversely proportional to volume which means if pressure of a gas increases the volume of the gas will decreases as gas molecules will collide and come closer forcefully so volume will decreases. And its formula for determining volume and pressure is:

<em>PV=nRT</em>

where "R" is a ideal gas constant

"T" is temperature and

"n" is number of particles given in moles while "V" is volume and "P" is pressure.

What is the relationship between the motion of molecules and the kinetic energy of the particles?
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Kinetic Molecular Theory, an increase in temperature will increase the average kinetic energy of the molecules. As the particles move faster, they will likely hit the edge of the container more often.
