Answer: $CuSO_4$

Explanation: For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here Copper is having an oxidation state of +2 and sulfate is a polyatomic ion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine to form neutral $CuSO_4$ .

The cations and anions being oppositely charged attract each other through strong coloumbic forces and form an ionic bond.

$Cu^{2+}+SO_4^{2-}\rightarrow CuSO_4$

Answer:

Water

Explanation:

Hydropower plants capture the energy of falling water to generate electricity. A turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy. Then a generator converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy.

A civil engineering student is considering buying an electric car. However, the conscious student wants to make sure her carbon

svetlana [45]

Answer:

$\text{An gasoline-powered vehicle has }\\\boxed{\text{five times the carbon footprint}}\text{ of an electric vehicle.}$

Explanation:

1. Miles travelled in an average month

$\text{Miles} = \text{1 mo} \times \dfrac{\text{52 wk}}{\text{12 mo}} \times \dfrac{\text{5 da}}{\text{1 wk}} \times \dfrac{\text{16 mi}}{\text{1 da}} = \text{347 mi}$

2. Using a gasoline powered vehicle

(a) Moles of heptane used

$n = \text{347 mi} \times \dfrac{\text{1 gal}}{\text{36.5 mi}}\times \dfrac{\text{3.785 L}}{\text{1 gal}} \times \dfrac{\text{679.5 g}}{\text{1L}} \times \dfrac{ \text{1 mol}}{\text{100.20 g}}= \text{244 mol}$

(b) Equation for combustion

C₇H₁₆ + O₂ ⟶ 7CO₂ + 8H₂O

(c) Moles of CO₂ formed

$n = \text{244 mol heptane} \times \dfrac{\text{7 mol CO$_{2}$}}{\text{1 mol heptane}} = \text{1710 mol CO$_{2}$}$

(d) Volume of CO₂ formed

At 20 °C and 1 atm, the molar volume of a gas is 24.0 L.

$V = \text{1710 mol } \times \dfrac{\text{24.0 L}}{\text{1 mol}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 gal}}{\text{3.785 L}} = \textbf{10 800 gal}$

3. Using an electric vehicle

(a) Theoretical energy used

$\text{Theor. Energy} = \text{347 mi} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kWh}}{\text{5.2 mi}} = \text{66.7 kWh theor.}$

(b) Actual energy used

The power station is only 85 % efficient.

$\text{Actual energy used} = \text{66.7 kWh theor.} \times \dfrac{\text{100 kWh actual}}{\text{ 85 kWh theor.}}\times \dfrac{\text{3600 kJ}}{\text{1 kWh}}\\\\ = 2.82\times 10^{5} \text{ kJ}\$

(c) Combustion of CH₄

CH₄ + 2O₂ ⟶ CO₂ +2 H₂O

(d) Equivalent volume of CO₂

The heat of combustion of methane is -802.3 kJ·mol⁻¹

$V= 2.82\times 10^{5}\text{ kJ} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol methane}}{\text{802.3 kJ}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol CO$_{2}$} }{\text{1 mol methane}} \times \dfrac{ \text{24.0 L}}{ \text{1 mol CO$_{2}$}}\\\\ \times \dfrac{\text{1 gal}}{\text{3.875 L}} = \textbf{2180 gal}$

4. Comparison

$\dfrac{V_{\text{gasoline}}}{V_{\text{electric}}} = \dfrac{10800}{2180} = 5.0\\\\ \text{An gasoline-powered vehicle has }\\ \boxed{\textbf{ five times the carbon footprint}}\text{ of an electric vehicle.}$
