In Ontario, some electricity comes from coal-burning generators. Coal is a natural form of carbon that has a large amount of sul

phur mixed in with it. Answer the following questions based on the burning of coal to produce energy.
a) Write the word equations and balanced chemical equations for the burning of carbon and the burning of sulphur. (4 marks)
b) Which of these products is harmful to the environment? How is it harmful? (2 marks)
c) Write the word equation and balanced chemical equation for the reaction that produces this harmful environmental effect. (2 marks)
d)Explain why it is important to make sure your furnace is tuned up and in proper working order before the winter

Answer:

a)

C(s)+O_{2}(g) \rightarrow CO_{2}(g)

S(s)+O_{2}(g) \rightarrow SO_{2}(g)

b)

Sulphurdioxide

c)

SO_{2}(g) + H_{2}O(l) \rightarrow H_{2}SO_{3}(l)

SO_{2}(g) + \frac{1}{2}O_{2} \rightarrow SO_{3}(g)

d)  

Incomplete combustion produce harmful gases.

Explanation:

a)

Carbon reacts with atmospheric oxygen to form carbondioxide as well as sulphur dioxide.

The chemical equations are as follows.

C(s)+O_{2}(g) \rightarrow CO_{2}(g)

S(s)+O_{2}(g) \rightarrow SO_{2}(g)

b)

Sulfur dioxide is very harmful to the environment to cause acid rains.

This harmful gas mix with rain water to form  sulphuric acid.

c)

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction that produces harmful environmental effects is as follows.

SO_{2}(g) + H_{2}O(l) \rightarrow H_{2}SO_{3}(l)

SO_{2}(g) + \frac{1}{2}O_{2} \rightarrow SO_{3}(g)

SO_{3}(g) +H_{2}O(l) \rightarrow H_{2}SO_{4}(l)

d)

In the absence of proper amount of oxygen required for combustion, incomplete combustion will take place which will result in formation of more carbondioxide an other harmful gases.

Crude oil was formed by hydrocarbons or distillate from decaying animal matter migrating to stratigraphic traps like folds in the sedimentary rocks like anticlines which are dome-shaped folds in the rocks. 

In North America, the First Nations used the pitchy tar sands near Fort McMurray to waterproof their canoes long ago before the white man arrived.

In Alberta, the first successful oil well to be drilled was in approximately 1947 called the Leduc well and then oil drilling blossomed from there. Crude oil would be refined to process this oil at that time and broken down into fractions.
Large scale expansion of the oil industry got impetus from the widespread use of automobiles and planes in the early part of the 20th century and then once discoveries like the Leduc well were made, then it became apparent that it was possible to figure out where the oil was and then it blossomed.
In 1907. Leo Baekeland invented bakelite from petroleum ie a polymer. 
Nylon and polyester were developed from petroleum in the 1930's and 1941 respectively.,
In 1865, Edward Roberts, an American discovered that by exploding a torpedo with explosive powder in it in an oil well it could increase the well yield by up to 1200% 
Peak oil is estimated to be very soon between 2010 and 2030 or most likely before 2020 so anytime soon and after that the reserves are expected to diminish. The world should be converting strongly to alternative energy sources the sooner the better especially to prevent the potential pollution of pipelines and oil tankersl

WHY is there a difference between how an electrolytes and non electrolytes affect collegiative properties?
natulia [17]
 <span>Colligative properties are dependent upon the number of molecules or ions present in solution. Therefore, 1 mole of Na2SO4 will produce 3 moles of ions and so it will have 3 times as much of an effect as 1 mole of sugar, which is not an electrolyte and can't dissociate to an appreciable extent.</span>
