Answer : The formula of the gas produced is, 
(phosphine gas)
Explanation :
According to the question, when sodium phosphide is treated with water then it react to give phosphine gas and sodium hydroxide.
The balanced chemical reaction will be:
By Stoichiometry of the reaction we can say that:
1 mole of sodium phosphide reacts with 3 moles of water to give 1 mole of phosphine gas and 3 moles of sodium hydroxide.
Thus, the formula of the gas produced is, (phosphine gas)
Answer:
Energy sources do not have 100% efficiency because <em>the processes of energy conversion to usable forms involves energy losses. </em>
Some have lower efficiencies due to; <u>energy losses in form of heat</u> during conversion, <u>poor technology applied during conversion</u> of energy and<u> lack of desire equipment</u> to use in the energy conversion system.
Explanation:
The desired form of energy for use is derived from conversion of energy from the source using an energy converter into another form which is usable. The efficiency of the energy converter is calculated as;
л = output energy/input energy
The efficiency of energy is limited to the cost of equipment required for conversion from energy source by the energy converter to a form which is usable. Additionally, because energy sources are scarce, the technology to use in energy conversion is a factor affecting energy efficiency in that high efficiency will require advanced technology with better equipment leading higher costs of that energy form. when heat losses are involved during energy conversion, efficiency lowers, thus its better if such losses are used as energy input in another system.
Claim: Earth's atmospheric CO2 levels were measured over the past 1000 years and correlated with average world temperatures. The data demostrate that Earth's temperature did not change during the period CO2 levels were steady. But the past 100 years show a dramatic rise in CO2 levels, with a corresponding rise in world temperatures. The CO2 rise can be traced back to the start of the industrial revolution, when machines began doing much of the work. These machine burn fossil fuels and the increased CO2 levels have led to a dramatic rise in world temperatures. The data clearly show the importance of reducing fossil fuel useage, as well as other CO2 emitters. A world of incresing temperatures will lead to greater natural disasters, such as storms, flooding, hurricanes, and drought - all of which upset the ecological balance of the planet.
The balanced chemical reaction for the described reaction above is,
Na2CO3 + 2HCl ---> 2NaCl + H2CO3
From the reaction, 1 mole of Na2CO3 is needed to produce 2 moles of NaCl. In terms of mass, 106 grams of Na2CO3 are needed to produce 116.9 grams of NaCl. From this,
(23.4 g NaCl) x (106 g Na2CO3 / 116.9 NaCl = 21.22 g Na2CO3
Thus, approximately 21.22 g Na2CO3 is needed for the desired reaction.
