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.

PLEASE HELP QUICK!!! Electromagnetic Spectrum Activity Worksheet
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of frequencies (the spectrum) of electromagnetic radiation and their respective wavelengths and photon energies. The electromagnetic spectrum covers electromagnetic waves with frequencies ranging from below one hertz to above 10²⁵ hertz, corresponding to wavelengths from thousands of kilometers down to a fraction of the size of an atomic nucleus. This frequency range is divided into separate bands, and the electromagnetic waves within each frequency band are called by different names; beginning at the low frequency (long wavelength) end of the spectrum these are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays at the high-frequency (short wavelength) end. The electromagnetic waves in each of these bands have different characteristics, such as how they are produced, how they interact with matter, and their practical applications. There is no known limit for long wavelengths, while it is thought that the short wavelength limit is in the vicinity of the Planck length. Extreme ultraviolet, soft X-rays, hard X-rays and gamma rays are classified as ionizing radiation as their photons have enough energy to ionize atoms, causing chemical reactions. Exposure to these rays can be a health hazard, causing radiation sickness, DNA damage and cancer. Radiation of visible light wavelengths and lower are called nonionizing radiation as they cannot cause these effects.

How many atoms of Titanium are in 3 moles?
Nat2105 [25]

Explanation:

Because There are 6.022x10^23 atoms per mole; therefore, (6.022x10^23×3)=18.066x10^23 atoms of titanium.

Question: How will soap or alcohol affect the hydrogen bonds between different water molecules? Hypothesis: Materials: Penny, wa
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

A soap or alcohol will interfere with the hydrogen bonding between water molecules making it weaker

Explanation:

A water molecule is polar as the oxygen atom is strongly electronegative and draws the electrons it shares with the hydrogen atoms in the water molecule to itself. This creates a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom and partial positive charges on the hydrogen atoms. The attraction of neighboring oxygen to hydrogen atoms in a water molecule results in hydrogen bonding.

However, a detergent molecule which has a polar head and a hydrophobic tail, when added to water significantly interferes with the hydrogen bonding between water molecules. The polar head is attracted to water molecules whereas the hydrophobic tail of each molecule are not. The detergent molecules form clusters known as micelles with the polar heads attracted to water and the hydrophobic tails directed towards the center of the micelle, away from water molecules. This weakens the hydrogen bonding between water molecules

An alcohol contains a polar -OH group in its molecules. However, the hydrogen bonding between alcohol molecules are weaker than that in water because the other end of the alcohol molecule has a C-O bond which is less polar than the O-H bond. Therefore, when an alcohol is added to water, it weakens the hydrogen bonding in water.

This weakening of the hydrogen bonding in water also has the effect of lowering the surface tension of water.
