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.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Pre-zygotic, temporal separation

Explanation:

Reproductive isolation mechanism is of two types:

  • Prezygotic mechanism
  • Postzygotic mechanism

Prezygotic mechanism isolation occurs before fertilization and helpful in preventing formation of fertile offspring.

In frog external fertilization occurs. In the external fertilization, eggs and sperms are released in water and fertilization occur outside the water.

Prezygotic isolating mechanisms may include behavioral isolation, temporal isolation, mechanical isolation, gametic isolation and habitat isolation.

Temporal separation in reproduction is the sexual activity in the same geographical range but in different periods.

Therefore, the given reproductive isolation is pre-zygotic, temporal separation.

If 72.5 grams of calcium metal (Ca) react with 65.0 grams of oxygen gas (O2) in a synthesis reaction, how many grams of the exce
Natali5045456 [20]
2Ca + O2 = 2CaO
First, determine which is the excess reactant
72.5 g Ca (1 mol) =1.8089725036
(40.078 g)

65 g O2 (1 mol) =2.0313769611
(15.999g × 2)
Since the ratio of to O2 is 2:1 in the balanced reaction, divide Ca's molar mass by 2 to get 0.9044862518. this isn't necessary because Ca is already obviously the limiting reactant. therefore, O2 is the excess reactant.

Now do the stoichiometry
72.5 g Ca (1 mol Ca) (1 mol O2)
(40.078 g Ca)(2 mol Ca)(31.998g O2)

=0.0282669621 g of O2 left over
