Answer:

Coal contains chemical potential energy

Explanation:

Chemical species are known to contain chemical energy. Chemical energy is contained in chemical bonds in a chemical substance.

Since energy can neither be created nor destroyed, energy contained in chemical bonds can be transformed from one form to another. Coal contains chemical energy.

One of the ways of generating electricity is the combination of fossil fuels. This involves the conversion of chemical energy to heat energy. The steam produced is used to turn a turbine. The turning off the turbine implies a conversion of heat to mechanical energy. The turning of the turbine now produces electrical energy.

The density of benzene at 15 ∘C is 0.8787 g/mL. Calculate the mass of 0.1200 L of benzene at this temperature.
Pavel [41]
Use the density to convert volume into mass. 

since the density is in g/ml and the volume was given in Liters, we need to first convert the Liters into mililiters. just multiply by 1000 or move the decimal three times.

0.1200 Liters= 120.0 mL

120.0 mL (0.8787 grams/ 1 mL)= 105 grams

There are multiple meanings for a base. A base can be a substance that accepts hydrogen ions, or it could be something that is not acidic, in other words meaning its pH is between 7 and 14.
