Answer:

Salt domes storage has advantages in cost, security, environmental risk, and maintenance. Salt formations offer the lowest cost, most environmentally secure way to store crude oil for long periods of time. Stockpiling oil in artificially-created caverns deep within the rock-hard salt costs historically about $3.50 per barrel in capital costs. Storing oil in above ground tanks, by comparison, can cost $15 to $18 per barrel - or at least five times the expense. Also, because the salt caverns are 2,000-4,000 feet below the surface, geologic pressures will sea; any crack that develops in the salt formation, assuring that no crude oil leaks from the cavern. An added benefit is the natural temperature differential between the top of the caverns and the bottom - a distance of around 2,000 feet; the temperature differential keeps the crude oil continuously circulating in the caverns, giving the oil a consistent quality.

H2(g)+I2(g)→2HI(g)would not be affected by the addition of which gas?

denpristay [2]

Based on Le Chatelier's principle, the following factors will affect the chemical equilibrium

1) Temperature

2) Pressure

3) concentration

4) catalyst

The given equilibrium involves

H2(g) + I2(g) → 2HI(g)

The reactants are H2 and I2 while the product is HI. The equilibrium will be affected by changes in the concentration of H2, I2 or HI.

However, the equilibrium will not be affected by the addition of N2 since it is not involved in the reaction

Where does crude oil come from

telo118 [61]

Question : Where does crude oil come from?

So firstly Crude oil is a fossil fuel and,is know and called implies, Over time the fossils the remains of vegetation and various organisms, and bacteria and algae, are covered by an increasing amount of soil before they are converted through heat and pressure into matter composed largely of hydrocarbons.

Hopefully that helps you ! have a good day !
