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.

1.) Why does carbon form covalent bonds?

juin [17]

For #1, I'd say it's "It will usually bond to multiple atoms which can provide a total of 4 additional electrons."

2. Ionic (I'm quite certain because anions/cations (-1 & +1) are Ionic from what I recall, if that's true it's Ionic.
3. "comparison of the associated families to which the elements belong" and
"the difference in electronegativities" are what I would choose, as I mentioned in a comment earlier.

If I'm wrong let me know, but I am at least 80% sure that these responses are correct from what I remember in Chemistry.

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Manganese commonly occurs in nature as a mineral. The extraction of manganese from the carbonite mineral rhodochrosite, involves a two-step process. In the first step, manganese (II) carbonate and oxygen react to form manganese (IV) oxide and carbon dioxide:

$2MnCO_3(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+2CO_2(g)$

In the second step, manganese (IV) oxide and aluminum react to form manganese and aluminum oxide:

$3MnO_2(s)+4Al(s)\rightarrow 3Mn(s)+2Al_2O_3(s)$

Write the net chemical equation for the production of manganese from manganese (II) carbonate, oxygen and aluminum. Be sure your equation is balanced.

Answer : The net chemical equation for the production of manganese is:

$6MnCO_3(s)+3O_2(g)+8Al(s)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+6Mn(s)+4Al_2O_3(s)$

Explanation :

The given two chemical reactions are:

(1) $2MnCO_3(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+2CO_2(g)$

(2) $3MnO_2(s)+4Al(s)\rightarrow 3Mn(s)+2Al_2O_3(s)$

First we are multiplying reaction 1 by 3, and reaction 2 by 2, we get:

(1)

(2) $6MnO_2(s)+8Al(s)\rightarrow 6Mn(s)+4Al_2O_3(s)$

Now we are adding both the reactions, we get the overall chemical reaction.

$6MnCO_3(s)+3O_2(g)+6MnO_2(s)+8Al(s)\rightarrow 6MnO_2(s)+6CO_2(g)+6Mn(s)+4Al_2O_3(s)$

The $MnO_2$ is common on both side, by cancelling it, we get:

The net chemical equation for the production of manganese is:

$6MnCO_3(s)+3O_2(g)+8Al(s)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+6Mn(s)+4Al_2O_3(s)$

The nutritional energy content (in Calories) present in 86g of broccoli with 6g of carbohydrates, 2.6g of protein, and 0.3g of f

asambeis [7]

Answer:

37.1 calories.

Approximately, 37.1 = 40 calories.

Explanation:

So, without mincing words let's dive straight into the solution to the question above.

We are given the following parameters which are going to help in solving this particular Question.

The mass of broccoli = 86g of broccoli, mass of carbohydrates present = 6g of carbohydrates, the mass of protein present = 2.6g of protein and the mass of fat present = 0.3g of fat.

Therefore, the nutritional energy content (in Calories) = (6 × 4) + (2.6 × 4) + (0.3 × 9) = 10.4 + 24 + 2.7 = 37.1

Hence, the nutritional energy content (in Calories) = 37.1 calories.

Approximately, 37.1 = 40 calories.
