Answer:

it is organic

Coal is classed as an organic sedimentary rock and rocks are made from inorganic (not from living) material such as minerals. Coal is made from decomposed plants that are organic (were living)

How much energy is wasted as heat by an incandescent light globe
muminat

Electric current passes through a filament of an incandescent bulb, thereby increasing it temperature. When current flows, it contains electrons through the filament to produce light. Typically, incandescent light bulb consists of a glass enclosure that contains tungsten filament. The glass enclosure contains either a vacuum or an inert gas that serves as the filament protection from evaporating. Incandescent light bulbs contain a stem attached at to its base to allow the electrical contacts to run through the envelope without gas or air leaks.

Consider the following reaction at equilibrium. 2CO2 (g) 2CO (g) + O2 (g) H° = -514 kJ Le Châtelier's principle predicts that th
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

C. at low temperature and low pressure.

Explanation:

  • <em>Le Châtelier's principle </em><em>states that when there is an dynamic equilibrium, and this equilibrium is disturbed by an external factor, the equilibrium will be shifted in the direction that can cancel the effect of the external factor to reattain the equilibrium.</em>

<em />

  • For the reaction:

<em>2CO₂(g) ⇄ 2CO(g) + O₂(g), ΔH = -514 kJ.</em>

<em></em>

<em><u>Effect of pressure:</u></em>

  • When there is an increase in pressure, the equilibrium will shift towards the side with fewer moles of gas of the reaction. And when there is a decrease in pressure, the equilibrium will shift towards the side with more moles of gas of the reaction.
  • The reactants side (left) has 2.0 moles of gases and the products side (right) has 3.0 moles of gases.

<em>So, decreasing the pressure will shift the reaction to the side with higher no. of moles of gas (right side, products), </em><em>so the equilibrium partial pressure of CO (g) can be maximized at low pressure.</em>

<em></em>

<u><em>Effect of temperature:</em></u>

  • The reaction is exothermic because the sign of ΔH is (negative).
  • So, we can write the reaction as:

<em>2CO₂(g) ⇄ 2CO(g) + O₂(g) + heat.</em>

  • Decreasing the temperature will decrease the concentration of the products side, so the reaction will be shifted to the right side to suppress the decrease in the temperature, <em>so the equilibrium partial pressure of CO (g) can be maximized at low temperature.</em>

<em></em>

  • So, the right choice is:

<em>C. at low temperature and low pressure.</em>

Which of these is not a precaution taken at nuclear power plants to ensure safety? Safety systems are built into them. All parts
irga5000 [103]

Answer: Enriched uranium is the fuel source.

The nuclear power plants utilizes the radiation energy from the fission of the heavy molecular weight atomic particles. These radiations can cause damage when exposed to the external air, they are capable of causing explosion, mutation in the living beings. Therefore, safety measures should be taken to prevent the damages.

Enriched uranium is the fuel source is not the precaution taken at the nuclear power plant to ensure safety because it is just explaining the fact that the uranium is the source of radiation. All other factors such as safety systems are built into them, all parts are kept in good repair and processes are carefully monitored are relevant precautions.

Where do you measure the temperature when checking furnace temperature rise?
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The rise in Air temperature is the difference between heated supply of air from the furnace and temperature of the return.

Explanation:

The temperature of the furnace should be kept within the plates range. Temperature rise of the furnace should be measured while the installation. The outside air temperature of the furnace is easy to measure whereas inside temperature is more difficult to measure. An excessive temperature rise in the furnace could cause combustion problem.
