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.

___au2s3 ___h2 → ___au ___h2s
liberstina [14]
The best way to balance an equation is to balance one atom at a time.
You start with two Au atoms on the left, so you know the coefficient of Au on the right has to be 2. So at first we get,
Au2S3 + H2 --> 2Au + H2S
Then, notice you have 3 sulfur atoms on the left, so you need three on the right.
Our equation becomes
Au2S3 + H2 --> 2Au + 3H2S
Lastly, we now have six hydrogen atoms on the right, and only two on the left, so we assign a three to the H2 on the left
Au2S3 + 3H2 --> 2Au + 3H2S Is the balanced final equation.

Which of the following is a double replacement reaction?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter D.

Explanation:

Double replacement reaction is when the cation of one reactant replaces the metal of the other reactant and vice versa.

a. 2SO2 + O2 —> 2S03                          This is a combination reaction

b. Zn + Cu(NO3)2 → Zn(NO3)2 + Cu      This is a single replacement reaction.

c. 2H2O2–> 2H2O + O2                         This is a decomposition reaction

d . AgNO3 + NaCl → AgCl + NaNO3      This is a double replacement reaction
