Answer:The correct answer is option:

'A resource that cannot be replenished in a short period of time'.

Explanation:

Renewable resources: Resources which are capable of restoring themselves overtime through natural process.They never get exhausted completely.For example: bio mass energy, solar energy etc.

Non-Renewable resources: Resources that cannot be replenished overtime through natural process.These are the resources which are used in wise manner so that to prevent their exhaustion. For example: coal, petroleum etc.

Hence, from the given the options the correct answer is :

'A resource that cannot be replenished in a short period of time'.

4. How many grams of ammonium carbonate are needed to decompose in order to produce

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

14.23g of (NH4)2CO3

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction.

(NH4)2CO3 –> (NH4)2O + CO2

Next,, we shall determine the mass of (NH4)2CO3 that decomposed and the mass of CO2 produced from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of (NH4)2CO3 = 2[14+(4x1)] + 12 + (16x3)

= 2[14 +4] + 12 + 48

= 2[18] + 60 = 96g/mol

Mass of (NH4)2CO3 from the balanced equation = 1 x 96 = 96g

Molar mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 44g/mol

Mass of CO2 from the balanced equation = 1 x 44 = 44g.

Summary:

From the balanced equation above,

96g of (NH4)2CO3 decomposed to produce 44g of CO2.

Finally, we can determine the mass of (NH4)2CO3 that decomposed to produce 6.52g of CO2 as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

96g of (NH4)2CO3 decomposed to produce 44g of CO2.

Therefore, Xg of (NH4)2CO3 will decompose to produce 6.52g of CO2 i.e

Xg of (NH4)2CO3 = (96 x 6.52)/44

Xg of (NH4)2CO3 = 14.23g

Therefore, 14.23g of (NH4)2CO3 is needed to produce 6.52g of CO2.

A nuclear reactor core must stay at or below 95 °C to remain in good working condition. Cool water at a temperature of 10 °C is

aliina [53]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{67 000 g}}$

Explanation:

This is a problem in calorimetry — the measurement of the quantities of heat that flow from one object to another.

It is based on the Law of Conservation of Energy — Energy can be transformed from one type to another, but it cannot be destroyed or created.

If heat flows out of the reactor (negative), the same amount of heat must flow into the water (positive).

Since there is no change in total energy,

heat₁ + heat₂ = 0

The symbol for the quantity of heat transferred is q, so we can rewrite the word equation as

q₁ + q₂ = 0

The formula for the heat absorbed or released by an object is

q = mCΔT, where

m = the mass of the sample

C = the specific heat capacity of the sample, and

ΔT = T_f - T_i = the change in temperature

1. Equation

There are two heat flows in this problem,

heat released by reactor + heat absorbed by water = 0

q₁ + q₂ = 0

q₁ + m₂C₂ΔT₂ = 0

2. Data:

q₁ = -23 746 kJ

m₂ = ?; C₂ = 4.184 J°C⁻¹g⁻¹; T_f = 95 °C; T_i = 10 °C

3. Calculations

(a) Convert kilojoules to joules

$q_{1} = -\text{23 746 kJ} \times \dfrac{\text{1000 J}}{\text{1 kJ}} = -\text{23 746 000 J}$

(b) ΔT

ΔT₂ = T_f - T_i = 95 °C - 10 °C = 85 °C

(c) m₂

$\begin{array}{rcl}q_{1} + q_{2} & = & 0\\\text{-23 746 000 J} + m_{2} \times 4.184 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$} \times 85 \, ^{\circ}\text{C} & = & 0\\\text{-23 746 000 J} + 356m_{2} \text{J$\cdot$g}^{-1} & = & 0\\356m_{2} \text{g}^{-1} & = & 23746000\\m_2&=& \dfrac{23746000}{\text{356 g}^{-1}}\\\\ & = & \textbf{67000 g}\\\end{array}\\$
