Answer: A. Pollution

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are the fuels which are excavated from undersurface and deep regions of the the earth crust. These are produce by millions of years of decomposition activity of soil microbes on organic matter generated after dead and decaying plants and animals. These fossil fuels are used as a source of energy.

The fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and natural gas produces toxic,harmful and polluting gases like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrous oxides on combustion and burning. These gases contaminate the air and water hence causes pollution.

Therefore, the main advantage of using fossil fuel is pollution.

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

83ºC

Explanation:

A bomb calorimeter is an instrument used to measure the heat that release or absorb a particular reaction.

The reaction of combustion of propane is:

C₃H₈ +  5O₂ → 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O ΔH = -2222kJ/mol

<em>1 mole of propane release 2222kJ</em>

10.0g of propane (Molar mass: 44.1g/mol).

10.0g ₓ (1mol/ 44.1g) = <em>0.227 moles of C₃H₈</em>

If 1 mole of propane release 2222kJ, 0.227moles will release (Release because molar heat is < 0):

0.227 moles of C₃H₈ ₓ (2222kJ / mol) = 504kJ.

Our calorimeter has a constant of 8.0kJ/ºC, that means if there are released 8.0kJ, the bomb calorimeter will increase its temperature in 1ºC. As there are released 504kJ:

504kJ ₓ (1ºC / 8.0kJ) = 63ºC will increase the temperature in the bomb calorimeter.

As initial temperature was 20ºC, final temperature will be:
