Delivering electricity to homes through high voltage lines, reduces the power loss that is caused by Joule's heating.
We know that:
P=VI
Where, P is power, V is the voltage and I is the current.
So if we keep P constant and make then voltage up, I must goes down.
According to Joule's first law : Power of heating generated by a conductor is directly proportional to the product of its resistance and the square of the current.
Now using the equation:
Q=I²Rt
Where Q is the heat generated, I is the current , R is the resistance and t is the time.
So by reduced I, heat loss will be reduced.
The mass of carbon dioxide produced from the complete combustion of 4.80 x10^-3 g of methane is 0.0132 grams
calculation
write the equation for combustion of methane (CH4)
CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O
find the moles of CH4 used = mass/molar mass
molar mass of CH4 = 12 +(1 x4) = 16 g/mol
moles =( 4.80 x10^-3 g) / 16 g/mol = 3 × 10^-4 moles
by use of mole ratio between Ch4 to CO2 which is 1:1 the moles of CO2 is also = 3 x10^-4 moles
mass of CO2 is therefore = moles x molar mass of Co2
The molar mass of Co2 = 12 +(16 ×2) = 44 g/mol
mass is therefore = (3 ×10^-4 moles) ×44 g/mol = 0.0132 grams
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbon that contains only single bonds, whereas Alkenes and Alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons which contain one or more double bond and triple bonds.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- A saturated hydrocarbon with an only single bond is called alkanes. Ethane consisting of two carbon atoms that are bonded with a single bond and six hydrogen atoms sharing the other valence electron of carbon atoms. The molecular structure of alkane is CnH2n+2.
- An unsaturated hydrocarbon with a two bond is called alkenes. Ethene consisting of two carbon atoms double-bonded to each other. The molecular structure of alkene is CnH2n.
- An unsaturated hydrocarbon with a triple bond is called as alkynes. It involves sharing three pairs of electrons. The molecular structure of alkyne is CnH2n-2.
