Describe the energy in coal and the way in which it’s converted to electrical energy. Write 50 to 100 words.

Chemistry

devlian [24]3 years ago

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 planets in the solar system revolve around the Sun because the Sun is
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer: Anyway, the basic reason why the planets revolve around, or orbit, the Sun, is that the gravity of the Sun keeps them in their orbits. ... If the Sun weren't there, the Earth would travel in a straight line. But the gravity of the Sun alters its course, causing it to travel around the Sun, in a shape very near to a circle

Mg (50.0 g) and HCI (75.0 g) were added together to produce MgCl2 and H2
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Mass of hydrogen produced  = 2.1 g

Mass of excess reactant left = 25.2 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Mg = 50.0 g

Mass of HCl = 75.0 g

Mass of hydrogen produced = ?

Mass of excess reactant left = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Mg + 2HCl      →       MgCl₂ + H₂

Number of moles of Mg:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 50 g/ 24 g/mol

Number of moles = 2.1 mol

Number of moles of HCl:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 75 g/ 36.5 g/mol

Number of moles = 2.1 mol

now we will compare the moles of hydrogen gas with both reactant.

                     Mg       :        H₂

                       1          :       1

                     2.1         :     2.1

                   HCl         :        H₂

                      2          :          1

                    2.1          :        1/2×2.1 = 1.05 mol

HCl is limiting reactant and will limit the yield of hydrogen gas.

Mass of hydrogen:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass=  1.05 mol ×2 g/mol

Mass = 2.1 g

Mg is present in excess.

Mass of Mg left:

         HCl            :           Mg

             2             :            1

            2.1            :         1/2×2.1 = 1.05

Out of 2.1 moles of Mg 1.05 react with HCl.

Moles of Mg left = 2.1 mol - 1.05 mol = 1.05 mol

Mass of Mg left:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.05 mol × 24 g/mol

Mass = 25.2 g

gregori [183]
In, 1937 Lawrence, in operating his cyclotron, bombarded a molybdenum-96 foil with deuterium ions (2h), producing for the first time an element not found in nature. He was initially unaware that the radioactivity produced by the "bombarded foil" was not from molybdenum but from a new, artificial element. It was his cooperation with Italian-American physicist <span>Emilio Segrè </span>that allowed the new element to be discovered. The answer is Technetium: Tc
