A West Virginia coal is burned at a rate of 8.02 kg/s. The coal has a sulfur content of 4.40 % and the bottom ash contains 2.80

Answer: The annual emission rate of SO2 is 1.08 × 10^{7} kg/yr

Explanation:

  • The rate <em>r</em> at which the coal is been burnt is 8.02 kg/s.
  • Amount of sulphur in the burning coal is given as 4.40 %

i.e., 4.4/100 × 8.02 = 0.353 kg/s. Which is equivalent to the rate at which the sulphur is been burnt.

  • Since the burning of sulphur oxidizes it to produce SO2, it follows that the non-oxidized portion of the sulphur will go with the bottom ash.

  • The bottom ash is said to contain 2.80 % of the input sulphur.

  • Hence the portion of the SO2 produced is 100 — 2.80 = 97.20 %.

  • The rate of the SO2 produced is percentage of SO2 × rate at high sulphur is been burnt.

  = 97.20/100 × 0.353 kg/s.

  = 0.343 kg/s.

  • To get the annual emission rate of SO2, we convert the kg/s into kg/yr.

1 kg/s = 1 kg/s × (60 × 60 × 24 × 365) s/yr

1 kg/s = 31536000 kg/yr

  • Therefore, 0.343 kg/s = 0.343 × 31536000 kg/yr

     = 10816848 kg/yr

     = 1.08 × 10^7 kg/yryr.

How can mechanical waves help in the treatment of cancer?
Andreas93 [3]

Mechanical waves can help in the treatment of cancer due to heat generated by the high frequency waves.

<h3>What is mechanical wave?</h3>

A mechanical wave is a wave that requires material medium for its propagation, example include;

  • water waves,
  • sound waves, and
  • seismic waves.

<h3> Mechanical waves in treatment of cancers</h3>

Sound wave in example of mechanical wave because it requires material medium for its propagation.

High-frequency sound waves (HIFU) is used in the  treatment  of cancer because the strong beam generates heat which is directed to a specific part of a cancer.

The heat generated destroys the cancer cells.

Thus, mechanical waves can help in the treatment of cancer due to heat generated by the high frequency waves.

7. Halfway through a cross country meet, a
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

3m/s

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Initial speed (s1) = 4 m/s

Final speed (S2) = 7m/s

Change in speed (ΔS)

ΔS = s2 — s1

ΔS = 7 — 4

ΔS = 3m/s

Therefore, the change in speed is 3m/s

Enter ionic and net equations: feso4(aq)+ na3po4(aq) arrow fe3(po4)2(s)+na2so4(aq)
stepan [7]

Answer:

<em> ionic equation : </em>3Fe(2+)(aq) + 3SO4(2-)(aq)+ 6Na(+)(aq) + 2PO4 (3-) (aq) → Fe3(PO4)2(s)+ 6Na(+) + 3SO4(2-)(aq)

<em> net ionic equation: </em>3Fe(2+)(aq)  + 2PO4 (3-)(aq) → Fe3(PO4)2(s)

Explanation:

The balanced equation is

3FeSO4(aq)+ 2Na3PO4(aq) → Fe3(PO4)2(s)+ 3Na2SO4(aq)

<em>Ionic equations: </em>Start with a balanced molecular equation.  Break all soluble strong electrolytes (compounds with (aq) beside them) into their ions . Indicate the correct formula and charge of each ion. Indicate the correct number of each ion . Write (aq) after each ion .Bring down all compounds with (s), (l), or (g) unchanged. The coefficents are given by the number of moles in the original equation

3Fe(2+)(aq) + 3SO4(2-)(aq)+ 6Na(+)(aq) + 2PO4 (3-) (aq) → Fe3(PO4)2(s)+ 6Na(+) + 3SO4(2-)(aq)

<em>Net ionic equations: </em>Write the balanced molecular equation.  Write the balanced complete ionic equation.  Cross out the spectator ions, it means the repeated ions that are present.  Write the "leftovers" as the net ionic equation.

3Fe(2+)(aq)  + 2PO4 (3-)(aq) → Fe3(PO4)2(s)

H2O2 is a polyatomic ion<br> ?
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

If you are meaning O2^2- ion, well, don’t forget that ions have a charge, that has to be specified when referring to them. It is a polyatomic ion just because it consists of more than one atom, irrespective of the fact that these atoms are of the same element or not. It was given that name because at the early times chemistry was founded as a science, it was found that with respect to other oxygenated substances, peroxides contained more oxygen than expected: Latin prefix per- gives the terms it is attached to the meaning of being increased, enhanced, and similar.
