Answer:

D. Time and pressure changes dead plant material to peat.

Explanation:

There are four steps in the production of coal: peat, lignite, bituminous and anthracite.

Peat: in this stage dead plants are oxidized to water and carbon dioxide and buried under sediments. The partial decomposition of plant matter due to the absence of oxygen is called peat. There is no factor of time and pressure that changes dead plant material to peat.

Lignite: Peat is subjected to heat, pressure, and time to form lignite.

Bituminous: More pressure in lignite removes all the traces of plant matter and form “soft coal”, bituminous coal.

Anthracite: It is the last stage, in which hard coal forms with the combined pressure and high temperature.

Hence, the correct answer is "D. Time and pressure changes dead plant material to peat."

Why was mass lost from the crucible during the reaction?

Alexxandr [17]

If the crucible wasn't covered with a lid the reactants may have produced a gas that was released into the surroundings, or mass may have been lost in the form of water vapour.

How many grams of CaF2 would be needed to produce 1.12 moles of F2?

zlopas [31]

Step 1 : Write balanced chemical equation.

CaF₂ can be converted to F₂ in 2 steps. The reactions are mentioned below.

I] $CaF_{2} + H_{2} SO_{4} -------> 2HF + CaSO_{4}$

II] $2HF -------> H_{2} + F_{2}$

The final balanced equation for this reaction can be written as

$CaF_{2} + H_{2} SO_{4} ---------> CaSO_{4} + H_{2} + F_{2}$

Step 2: Find moles of CaF₂ Using balanced equation

We have 1.12 mol F₂

The mole ratio of CaF₂ and F₂ is 1:1

$1.12mol F_{2} * \frac{1molCaF_{2}}{1molF_{2}} = 1.12molCaF_{2}$

Step 3 : Calculate molar mass of CaF2.

Molar mass of CaF₂ can be calculated by adding atomic masses of Ca and F

Molar mass of CaF₂ = Ca + 2 (F)

Molar mass of CaF₂ = 40.08 + 18.998 = 78.08 g

Step 4 : Find grams of CaF₂

Grams of CaF₂ = $1.12molCaF_{2} *\frac{78.08gCaF_{2}}{1mol CaF_{2}}$

Grams of CaF₂ = 87.45 g

87.45 grams of CaF2 would be needed to produce 1.12 moles of F2.
