Explain why the law of conservation of energy can mean that we do not have unlimited sources of energy.

1 answer:

5 0

<span>The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - it can only be converted from one form to another. It basically means that energy can't just appear, but has to be converted from existing energy; for example, the chemical energy in petrol is turned into electrical energy to power a car.Remember the total energy of universe is constant,,and no more energy can be drawn from out if we collect all universe's energy at a single point(its the big bang energy splitted during </span>

The acidity of normal rain water is due to ______.<br><br> a) SO2<br> b) CO2<br> c) NO2<br> d) NO

Viktor [21]

The correct answer choice is CO₂ (B)

Rainwater naturally contains acids derived from carbon dioxide in the air and reacts with water vapor to form weak acids

H₂O + CO₂ ---> H₂CO₃

<h3><em>Further Explanation</em></h3>

Rainwater can cause damage to buildings, animals or plants due to acid rain

Acid rain occurs because other gases in the air mix with toxic gases to form acids

Rainwater naturally contains acids derived from carbon dioxide in the air and reacts with water vapor to form weak acids

H₂O + CO₂ ---> H₂CO₃

However, due to exhaust gases from industry, motor vehicles, or power plants that use fossil fuels containing sulfur to produce sulfur dioxide gas which will produce sulfuric acid

Sulfur combustion from fossil fuels

S + O₂ ----> SO₂

SO₂ produced from this exhaust gas reacts with O₂ oxygen which oxidizes SO₂ to SO₃

SO₂ + O₂ ----> SO₃

SO3 formed reacts with water vapor in the air to produce sulfuric acid as acid rain

SO₃ + H₂O ---> H₂SO₄

To reduce the pollution from this fossil fuel, various studies are now carried out as substitute energy that is more environmentally friendly such as solar energy and so on

G determine the concentration of an hbr solution if a 45.00 ml aliquot of the solution yields 0.6485 g agbr when added to a solu

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

The molecular weight of silver bromide (AgBr) is 187.77 g/mole. The presence of the ions in solution can be shown as- AgBr (insoluble) ⇄ $Ag^{+}$ + $Br^{-1}$ .

45.00 mL of the aliquot contains 0.6485 g of AgBr. Thus 1000 mL of the aliquot contains $\frac{0.6485}{45}$ ×1000 = 14.411 gm-mole. Thus the solubility product $K_{sp}$ of AgBr = [ $Ag^{+}$ ]× $Br^{-}$ .
