sertanlavr [38]3 years ago

Answer : The correct answer is A. Nuclear reactors using Pu-239

B. burning coal

The sources which are not renewable are known as "non- renewable sources of energy .

Non - renewable sources are those which get expired after rapid use and can never be reproduced . These sources replenishes in very long time . Examples : Coal , petrol or fuels etc .

1) Nuclear reactors using Pu-239 : Nuclear reactors uses radioactive elements like uranium , plutonium etc , which are present in limit . after frequent use of these elements , they will vanish off , Hence we can say nuclear reactors are Non renewable source of energy .

2) Burning coal : Coal is used as one of the major source of fuel . On rapid utilization of coal they will finished from earth . It takes thousand of year for formation of coal . Hence , it is a Non -renewable source .

3) Photo-voltaic cell: These are cells which used solar energy . Solar energy is obtained from sun . Hence solar energy is renewable source of energy so is the photo voltaic cell .

4) Geothermal energy : Geothermal energy is source of energy that is extracted from earth's thermal energy . Since thermal energy of earth is present in very large amount and can be reproduced , hence it renewable source of energy .

5)Wind energy : Wind energy is source of energy that is obtained from wind. And wind is renewable source so the wine energy too .

Consequently , we can say only two of them " Nuclear reactors and burning of coal " are Non renewable force of energy .

What is the percent composition of nitrogen in a 2.57 g sample of Al(NO3)3?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

19.8% of Nitrogen

Explanation:

In the Al(NO₃)₃ there are:

1 atom of Al

3 atoms of N

And 9 atoms of O

The molar mass of Al(NO₃)₃ is:

1 Al * (26.98g/mol) = 26.98g/mol

3 N * (14g/mol) = 42g/mol

9 O * (16g/mol) = 144g/mol

26.98 + 42 + 144 = 212.98g/mol

We can do a conversion using these molar masses to find the mass of nitrogen is the sample, that is:

2.57g * (42g/mol / 212.98g/mol) =

0.51g N

Percent composition of nitrogen is:

0.51g N / 2.57g * 100

= 19.8% of Nitrogen

There are two binary compounds of mercury and oxygen. heating either of them results in the decomposition of the compound, with
grandymaker [24]

\text{Hg} \text{O} and \text{Hg}_{2} \text{O}.

Assuming complete decomposition of both samples,

  • m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure})
  • m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss})

First compound:

  • m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss}) = 0.6498 - 0.6018 = 0.048 \; g
  • m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure}) = 0.6018 \; g

n = m/M; 0.6498 \; g of the first compound would contain

  • n(\text{O atoms}) = 0.048 \; g  / 16 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.003 \; mol
  • n(\text{Hg atoms}) = 0.6018 \; g  / 200.58 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.003 \; mol

Oxygen and mercury atoms seemingly exist in the first compound at a 1:1 ratio; thus the empirical formula for this compound would be \text{Hg} \text{O} where the subscript "1" is omitted.

Similarly, for the second compound

  • m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss}) = 0.016 \; g
  • m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure}) = 0.4172 - 0.016 = 0.4012  \; g

n = m/M; 0.4172 \; g of the first compound would contain

  • n(\text{O atoms}) = 0.016 \; g  / 16 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.001 \; mol
  • n(\text{Hg atoms}) = 0.4012 \; g  / 200.58 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.002 \; mol

n(\text{Hg}) : n(\text{O}) \approx  2:1 and therefore the empirical formula

\text{Hg}_{2} \text{O}.

Drag the types of electromagnetic waves to place them in order of increasing frequency.
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer: UV Light is the highest!

Explanation:

Ultraviolet Light has the highest frequency between the three, Visible Light would stay in the middle since its in the middle of the spectrum, thus making Infrared the lowest.
