Two friends were discussing different renewable energy resources. They talked about the advantages and disadvantages of using bi

omass or wind energy. The friends could not agree on which would be the best choice for North Texas.
Friend 1: “Wind Energy is the best option for where we live.”

Friend 2: “I disagree, biomass makes more sense to use here.”

Which friend do you most agree with?

Explain why you agree with that friend. Use the advantages and disadvantages you learned about to justify your thinking.

Use this chemical equation to answer the following questions: Cl + O3 ➞ ClO + O2
barxatty [35]

Explanation:

1. Elements are substances made of the same kind of atoms, unlike compounds that are combination for different kinds of atoms. The elements in the reaction therefore are;

Cl and O₃

2. Yes, the equation is balanced. There is the same number of each element on either side of the equation. One (1) CL and three (3) O atoms.

3. Ozone is reduced. Other the other hand, Cl is oxidized. Remember a reduction reaction may involve the loss of one or more oxygen atoms or the acceptance of electrons. This occurs for O₃ which is reduced to O₂.

4. The equation complies with the conservation of matter as in the first law of thermodynamics. The number of atoms for each element on the other side of the equation remains the same. This means no matter(which also translated to energy) has been created or destroyed in the process.

A) Calculate the osmotic pressure difference between seawater and fresh water. For simplicity, assume thatall the dissolved salt
never [62]

Answer:

a)  Δπ = 1.264 atm

b) W = 128 joules

c)  ΔH >> W  ( a factor greater than 17,000 )

Explanation:

a) The osmotic pressure, π , is determined by :

π = nRT/V, where n= moles of solute

                          R= 0.0821 Latm/kmol

                          T = 300 K

calling π(sw) osmotic pressure for  for sea water and π (fw) for fresh water,

salinity of sea water = 3.5 g / 1L water   (assuming only NaCl for the salts)

salinity of fresh water = 0.5 parts per thousand (range: 0- 0.5 ppt)

πsw = (3.5 g/58.44 g/mol) (0.0821 Latm/Kmol) (300 K ) /1 L = 1.475 atm

πfw = (0.5 g/58.44 g/mol) (0.0821 Latm/Kmol) (300 K ) /1 L = 0.211 atm

d water = 1 g/cm³

Δ π = (1.475 - 0.211) = 1.264 atm

b) W = Δπ V = 1.426 atm x 1L = 1.43 L-atm

1 L-atm = 101.33 j

W =  101.33 j/ Latm x  1.43 Latm = 128 joules

c) ΔH = Q₁ + nΔH vap, where

            Q₁  = heat required to bring the solution from 300 K to boiling, 373 K

            ΔH vap = heat of vaporization

Q = mCΔT = 1000 g x 4.186 j x 73 K = 305.6 j = 0.3056 kj

ΔH vap = (1000 g/ 18 g/mol ) 40.7 kj/mol = 2,261 kj

ΔH =  0.3056 kj + 2,261 kj = 2,261.3 kj

Note = Q << ΔH vap and we could have neglected it.

This result shows why nobody talks about evaporation of sea water to produce fresh water ΔH >> W

A positively charged substance is brought near the ion. What will most likely happen and why
d1i1m1o1n [39]

<u>Answer:</u> It repels positive ion and attracts negative ion.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are 2 types of ions:

1. Cations: These ions are positively charged ions which are formed when a substance looses electrons.

2. Anions: These ions are negatively charged ions which are formed when a substance gains electrons.

It is known that, like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other.

As, it is given that the substance is positively charged, so it will attract anion and repel cation.
