Answer:
Explanation:
Peat is the least carbon efficient fuel source when compared to other fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas or coal, and its combustion can emit over 90% of total CO2 emissions of the full peat energy chain.
Burning wood pellets releases as much or even more carbon dioxide per unit of energy as burning coal, so in order for burning pellets to be carbon-neutral the carbon emitted into the atmosphere has to be recaptured in regenerated forests
Biofuels may be carbon-neutral because the plants that are used to make biofuels (such as corn and sugarcane for ethanol and soy beans and oil palm trees for biodiesel) absorb CO2 as they grow and may offset the CO2 emissions when biofuels are produced and burned.
Growing plants for biofuels is controversial because the land, fertilizers, and energy for growing biofuel crops could be used to grow food crops instead. In some parts of the world, large areas of natural vegetation and forests have been cut down to grow sugar cane for ethanol and soybeans and oil palm trees for biodiesel.
Pyrolysis with biochar carbon sequestration provides a tool to combine sustainable soil management (carbon sequestration), and renewable energy production. While producing renewable energy from biomass, carbon sequestration, agricultural productivity, and environmental quality can be sustained and improved if the biomass is transferred to an inactive carbon pool and redistributed to agricultural fields.
Answer:
B) CsCl
Explanation:
The ionic character is formed between two kinds of atoms having a large electronegativity differences e.g metals (like those in groups IA and IIA) and nonmetals (like those in groups VIA and VIIA). The formation of an ionic character involves a transfer of electrons from the less electronegative atom(metal) to the more electronegative atom (non-metal) such that the two kinds of atoms now have completely filled outer shell like the noble gases.
In CsCl, electrons are being transferred from Cs⁺ to Cl⁻ . As a result of this transfer , the atom of the metal becomes positively charged (cation) while that of the non-metal becomes negatively charged (anion).
The highest percentage of ionic character will occur as a result of smaller negatively charged (anion) and larger positively charged (cation). From the options given, CsCl have the highest percentage of ionic character.
Answer:
The metal surface becomes more positive as electrons are lost from it.
Explanation:
Let us note that photoelectric effect refers to a phenomenon in which electrons are ejected from a clean metal surface irradiated with light of appropriate frequency. This photon must possess a frequency above the threshold frequency of the metal and its energy must exceed the work function of the metal. When these conditions are met, electrons are emitted from a clean metal surface, having a constant kinetic energy as long as the frequency of the incident photon remains constant.
However, as photoelectric effect progresses and electrons are lost from the metal surface, the metal surface becomes more positive. The more positive the surface, the greater the attraction of the positive surface for the emitted electrons. This reduces the kinetic energy of the emitted photons even though the frequency of incident photons is held constant.
Answer:
461.54 kg/h
Explanation:
First lets calculate the mass flow of the dry product:
Md=1000 kg/h*(1-0.58) = 420 kg/h
The mass flow of the moist final product is then:
Mm= 420 kg/h /(1-0.22) = 538.46 kg/h
The water to be evaporated is then the difference between the feed and the product.
W= 1000 kg/h - 538.46 kg/h = 461.54 kg/h
Kinetic Energy= 0.5 times velocity squared times mass
So KE= 0.5times 150 times 40 squared
