Which of the following statements best compares geothermal energy and the energy from natural gas based on their rates of renewa

l? Natural gas has a slower rate because any amount extracted is far lower than its generation inside Earth. Natural gas has a faster rate because, being a carbon resource, it quickly replenishes as part of the carbon cycle. Geothermal energy has a faster rate because a vast amount of heat energy is always present inside Earth's core. Geothermal energy has a slower rate because the water present below Earth's surface cools down periodically.

Answer:

Natural gas has a slower rate because any amount extracted is far lower than its generation inside Earth

Geothermal energy has a faster rate because a vast amount of heat energy is always present inside Earth's core.

Explanation:

Natural gas is formed by decay of plant and animal remains that have been subjected to decomposition for centuries under high pressure very far below the earth's crust. The process of fossilization by which natural gas is made takes millions of years. Hence its rate of renewal is very low compared to geothermal energy which involves heat from the earth's crust.

There is always a lot of heat trapped in the earth's core, hence the answer.

Answer: Natural gas has a faster rate because, being a carbon resource, it quickly replenishes as part of the carbon cycle.

Explanation:

Natural gas is a natural gas which consists of mixtures of hydrocarbons. It is primarily composed of methane, alkanes, small percentage of nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, helium and carbon dioxide.  

Being a carbon source it can be replenished easily due to decomposition of organic matter generated after the decomposition of dead animal and plant matter.  

The geothermal energy can be define as the energy obtained from the hot springs it includes the water that includes the thermal energy generate through heat present in the geosphere.  

Although the geothermal energy is the renewable source of energy but the time and period of it's generation remains unknown from the hot spring. Therefore, the rate of renewal of energy of natural gas is faster than the geothermal energy.

At a certain temperature the rate of this reaction is first order in HI with a rate constant of :0.0632s
Shalnov [3]

Answer : The time taken for the reaction is, 28 s.

Explanation :

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by :

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}

where,

k = rate constant  = 0.0632

t = time taken for the process  = ?

[A_o] = initial amount or concentration of the reactant  = 1.28 M

[A] = amount or concentration left time 't' = 1.28\times \frac{17}{100}=0.2176M

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get:

0.0632=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{1.28}{0.2176}

t=28s

Therefore, the time taken for the reaction is, 28 s.

At sea level, where the pressure was 104 kPa and temperature 21.1 ºC, a certain mass of air occupies 2.0 m3 . To what volume wil
Romashka [77]

Answer:

The volume of air at where the pressure and temperature are  52 kPa, -5.0 ºC is 3.64 m^3.

Explanation:

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 104 kPa

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 52 kPa

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 2.0m^3

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 21.1^oC=273+21.1=294.1K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = -5.0^oC=273+(-5.0)=268 K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{104 kPa\times 2.0m^3}{294.1 K}=\frac{52 kPa\times V_2}{268 K}

V_2=3.64 m^3

The volume of air at where the pressure and temperature are  52 kPa, -5.0 ºC is 3.64 m^3.

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

4) transferred from the valence shell of one atom to the valence shell of another atom

Explanation:

Electrons are located outside of the nucleus which contains the protons and the neutrons.

For bonds to form, valence electrons located in the outermost shell electrons are involved. These are the valence electrons. These outer shell electrons can be shared or transferred between two combining atoms to form stable atoms.

In ionic bonds, the electrons are transferred from one specie to another. The atom that loses the electrons becomes positively charged and the receiving atom becomes negatively charged. This is the crux of ionic bonds.
