How do we turn petroleum into energy we use?

Chemistry
1 answer:
arlik [135]4 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.

Which of the following describes the stage that occurs after condensation in the water cycle?
NISA [10]

Answer:

Precipitation

Explanation:

There are four main stages in the water cycle. They are evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection. Let's look at each of these stages.

There is a structure of CH3CH2CHCHCH2CH3, with a –CH2CH3 group attached to the third and fourth carbons.
NARA [144]

Explanation:

2,3-diethyl hexane

At first we select a long chain.

Then, we number that chain from that side where substituent position is closer.

Then, we write it's IUPAC name

Position of substituent + substituent name + chain name + suffix

Here,

2,3 + -diethyl + hex + -ane

= 2,3-diethyl hexane

Adding energy has no effect on the rate of evaporation? True or False ?
zlopas [31]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Evaporation occurs when molecules in a liquid gain enough energy that they overcome attractions from other molecules and break away to become a gas. Adding energy increases the rate of evaporation.

Hope this helped!
