Answer:

CO (carbon Dioxide)

Explanation:

Fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum products contain carbon (C) and hydrogen (H). When they burn completely, carbon and hydrogen react with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O).

But in incomplete burning, a portion of carbon that contained in fossil fuel is not completely oxidized. As a result carbon monoxide (CO) is produced.

The carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that affects health. The maximum limit of carbon monoxide production allowed in flue products is 400 ppm (parts per million) and the gas flame produces 0 and 50 ppm of carbon monoxide.

Incomplete combustion results in the production of above 7,000 ppm of carbon monoxide. Such a high concentration of carbon monoxide is a health risk and can be fatal.

Answer:

Option (1)

Explanation:

The incomplete combustion of fossil generally occurs when there is less amount of air or oxygen. This incomplete combustion leads to the production of carbon monoxide and carbon along with water. It does not release any carbon dioxide.

The reaction that represents an incomplete combustion is-

Hydrocarbon (fossil) + oxygen (O₂) → Carbon Monoxide (CO) + carbon (C) + water (H₂O) .

This reaction releases this Carbon monoxide which is a very poisonous gas. This gases are trapped in the lungs and it creates difficulty for the blood to carry oxygen. This is the reason why the complete combustion of fossil is more preferred compared to the incomplete combustion.

Hence, the correct answer is option (1).

Scientists find trilobites during a routine dig. Trilobites were common in the Paleozoic Era (540 to 245 million years ago) and
Svetach [21]
<span>The rock layers must have formed at different times because they contain two different biozones. The rock layer containing the trilobites must have formed before the one containing the ammonites. The key thing to note here is that the Trilobites only lived from 540 to 248 million years ago. And that the Ammonites were from 245 to 65 million years ago. So there's a 3 million year gap between these 2 different creatures where neither of them existed. So the dig where the trilobites were found has to be at least 3 million years older than the dig where the Ammonites were found. So with that in mind, let's look at the options and see what makes sense. The rock layers must have formed at the same time because they both contain biozones. * This is nonsense no matter what dates you're speaking of. In effect it claims that all rocks that indicate life were created at the same time. So this is definitely a bad choice. The rock layers must have formed at different times because they contain two different biozones. * This is technically incorrect since it assumes that all biozones represent an unique period of time which is incorrect. However, since the biozones represented by the presence of Trilobites and Ammonites don't overlap, it is true that these these rock layers were formed at different times. I would have preferred if this option said "non overlapping biozones". But on the balance, I'd consider this option to be true, so it should be selected. The rock layer containing the trilobites must have formed before the one containing the ammonites. * This is definitely true since the last Trilobite died about 3 million years before the first Ammonite lived. So this is a correct choice. The rock layer containing the trilobites must have formed after the one containing the ammonites. * This is the opposite of the previous option. And since the previous option was true, this option must be false. So this is a bad choice.</span>

What stratigies can you use to reduce your electricity bill? How much money could you save?If possible, discuss your ideas with
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

A simple thing you can do is use less electricity. For example, people use electricity for light a lot and they can reduce that by just not using it in certain times like in the day time, they can open their windows for sun light and turn the lights on in night time. People also use too much electricity on gadgets and electronics and they can reduce that by just not charging them too often and using them a bit less. By doing these methods you can maybe save around 10$ to 100$ or even more.
