Coal will eventually run out as it is an non-renewable energy. these are when they cannot be reproduced to make more,unlike would as u can replant them to create trees

Coal is made of carbon and also has more elements like hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur and nitrogen.
Coal starts as plant matter at the bottom of ocean/water. Eventually it is covered and buried by sediments where over a while, metamorphosis (a change in form) happens.
Coal is also one of the biggest, if not the largest, source of energy for the making of electricity.

Iupac name of h3C-C-Ch2-ch3

pshichka [43]

Answer:

The IUPAC name of given compound is 3−5−ethyl−5−−3−methylheptane. Explanation: The parental chain is of 7 carbons with single bonds hence it is heptane. Two substituents ethyl and methyl group are attached from an equal distance. Hence according to the alphabetical order preference, counting starts from carbon which is close to an ethyl group.

Stearic acid (C18H36O2) is a fatty acid, a molecule with a long hydrocarbon chain and an organic acid group (COOH) at the end. I

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

There is 9671 Kj of heat released

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation:

C18H36O2(s) + 26O2(g) --> 18CO2(g)+18H2O(g)

This means for 1 mole of C18H36O2 consumed there is 26 moles of O2 needed to produce 18 moles of CO2 and 18 moles of H2O.

Step 2: Calculate the heat of combustion

ΔH (combustion) = [18*(ΔHf of CO2) + 18*(ΔHf of H2O)] - [1*(ΔHf of C18H36O2) + 26*(ΔHf of O2)]

ΔH (combustion) = [18*(-394 kJ/mol) + 18*(-242 kJ/mol)] - [1*(-948 kJ/mol) + 26*(0 kJ/mol)]

ΔH (combustion) = [(-7092 kJ/mol) + (-4356 kJ/mol)] - (-948 kJ/mol)

= -10500 kJ/mol

ΔH (combustion) = heat released / number of moles of stearic acid

Step 3: Calculate moles of stearic acid

moles of stearic acid = mass / Molar mass of stearic acid

moles of stearic acid = 262g / 284.48 g/mole = 0.921 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of oxygen

moles of O2 = 914.5 / 32g/mole

moles of O2 = 28.578125 moles

Stearic acid is the limiting reactant: it will completely react

There will react 26*0.921 mole = 23.946 mole of O2

This means there will remain 4.63 moles of O2

Step 5: Calculate heat released

q = (ΔH combustion) * (moles of stearic acid) = (-10500 kJ/mol) * (0.921 moles) = 9671 Kj

There is 9671 Kj of heat released

The chemical equation is Mg(s) + O2(g) → MgO(s)

vredina [299]

Answer:

The magnesium will burn until consumed entirely. There is much more oxygen available in the atmosphere than needed to consume the magnesium. Thus the magnesium is the limiting reactant because it determines the amount of product formed.

Explanation:

Mg produces less amount of MgO than O2; therefore Mg is the limiting reagent. O2 produces more amount of MgO than Mg; therefore O2 is the excess reagent.
