Name the process that releases energy from fossil fuels.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Talja [164]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Combustion process

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons that are formed naturally. They are formed from the preservation of organic matter in an anaerobic environment.

When these hydrocarbons are combusted in the presence of oxygen, they liberate carbon dioxide and water and a third product which is energy. The form of energy that results from combustion is heat energy.

Combustion is very key to most industries and machines that utilizes fossil fuels as a source of energy. In power plants, the heat energy is used to produce steam which in turn is used to drive turbines.

In internal combustion engines of vehicles, the process of combustion is in place. The chemical energy in fossil fuels are converted to heat energy which in turn is used to drive pistons.

A 0.20 mol sample of MgCl2(s) and a 0.10 mol sample of KCl(s) are dissolved in water and diluted to 500 mL. What is the concentr
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

1 M

Explanation:

Magnesium chloride will furnish chloride ions as:

MgCl_2\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2Cl^-

Given :

Moles of magnesium chloride = 0.20 mol

Thus, moles of chlorine furnished by magnesium chloride is twice the moles of magnesium chloride as shown below:

Moles =2\times 0.20\ moles

Moles of chloride ions by magnesium chloride = 0.40 moles

Potassium chloride will furnish chloride ions as:

KCl\rightarrow K^{+}+Cl^-

Given :

Moles of potassium chloride = 0.10 moles

Thus, moles of chlorine furnished by potassium chloride is same as the moles of potassium chloride as shown below:

Moles of chloride ions by potassium chloride = 0.10 moles

Total moles = 0.40 + 0.10 moles = 0.50 moles

Given, Volume = 500 mL = 0.5 L (1 mL = 10⁻³ L)

Concentration of chloride ions is:

Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Molarity_{Cl^-}=\frac{0.50}{0.5}

<u> The final concentration of chloride anion = 1 M</u>

What happens to the entropy in the reaction I^2(s) ►I^2(g)?
swat32

Answer:

D. Entropy increases in the reaction.

Explanation:

Entropy is the degree of randomness in a system. In the reaction given we go from a solid to a gas, therefore there is an increase in the randomness. This means there is an increase in entropy.

Answer:

The entropy of a substance can be obtained by measuring the heat required to raise the temperature a given amount, using a reversible process . The standard molar entropy, So, is the entropy of 1 mole of a substance in its standard state, at 1 atm of pressure. (Below are listed tips)

- At absolute zero (0 K), the entropy of a pure, perfect crystal is zero.

- The entropy of a substance can be obtained by measuring the heat required to raise the temperature a given amount, using a reversible process.

- The standard molar entropy, So, is the entropy of 1 mole of a substance in its standard state, at 1 atm of pressure.

What is the pH of a solution that contains 0.83M HCN (Ka = 4.9x10-10) and 0.64 M potassium cyanide?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

pH= 9.2

Explanation:

Henderson hasselbach equation

pKa= log Ka= log (4.9 x 10^-10)=9.3

pH=Pka+log \frac{[A-]}{[HA]}

pH=9.3+log \frac{[CN-]}{[HCN]}

pH=9.3+log \frac{[0.64 M]}{[0.83 M]}

pH= 9.2

How many molecules are there in 4.50 moles of CuCl, 2H2O?​
Finger [1]

Answer:

<h2>2.709 × 10²⁴ molecules</h2>

Explanation:

The number of molecules can be found by using the formula

N = n × L

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

N = 4.5 × 6.02 × 10²³

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.709 × 10²⁴ molecules</h3>

Hope this helps you
