Explain why energy sources do not have 100% efficiency. Why do you think some have lower efficiencies?

Chemistry

Answer:

Energy sources do not have 100% efficiency because <em>the processes of energy conversion to usable forms involves energy losses. </em>

Some have lower efficiencies due to; <u>energy losses in form of heat</u> during conversion, <u>poor technology applied during conversion</u> of energy and<u> lack of desire equipment</u> to use in the energy conversion system.

Explanation:

The desired form of energy for use is derived from conversion of energy from the source using an energy converter into another form which is usable. The efficiency of the energy converter is calculated as;

л = output energy/input energy

The efficiency of energy is limited to the cost of equipment required for conversion from energy source by the energy converter to a form which is usable. Additionally, because energy sources are scarce, the technology to use in energy  conversion is a factor affecting energy efficiency in that high efficiency will require advanced technology with better equipment leading higher costs of that energy form. when heat losses are involved during energy conversion, efficiency lowers, thus its better if such losses are used as energy input in another system.

In two or more complete sentences explain how to balance the chemical equation and classify its reaction type
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Hi! In this case, the reactioncan be correctly balance according to this: 2Al(s) + 3CuSO4(aq) –> Al2(SO4)3(aq) + 3Cu(s).

Explanation:

In this particulary reaction,two semi-reactions happens.

One involving the metallic aluminum that suffers an oxidation reaction:

Al (s) -> Al3 + (aq) + 3e–

and another is a reduction reaction involving copper;

2e– + Cu2 + (aq) -> Cu (s)
