Chemistry
1 answer:
Lorico [155]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Burning of fossil fuels

Explanation:

Human activities that increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are;

1) Burning of fossil fuels in industrial and  internal combustion engines

2) Depletion of the available forest cover, due to the consumption of wood as a raw material

3) Farming expansion  that lead to clearing of forests for farming

4) Industrial activities such as the production of cement

5) Deforestation to provide land for development including buildings and infrastructure.

levacccp [35]

Answer:

Petroleum

Hydrocarbon gas liquids

Natural gas

Coal

Nuclear energy

Explanation:

These energy sources are called nonrenewable because their supplies are limited to the amounts that we can mine or extract from the earth. Coal, natural gas, and petroleum formed over thousands of years from the buried remains of ancient sea plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. That is why we also call those energy sources fossil fuels.

Most of the petroleum products consumed in the United States are made from crude oil, but petroleum liquids can also be made from natural gas and coal.

Nuclear energy is produced from uranium, a nonrenewable energy source whose atoms are split (through a process called nuclear fission) to create heat and, eventually, electricity. Scientists think uranium was created billions of years ago when stars formed. Uranium is found throughout the earth’s crust, but most of it is too difficult or too expensive to mine and process into fuel for nuclear power plants.

Anastasy [175]

Complete Question

4. A piece of metal weighing 0.0713 g was placed in a eudiometer containing dilute aqueous HCl. After the metal fully dissolved, 23.5 mL of hydrogen gas was collected by displace-ment of water and a 400 mm column of water was observed. The water temperature was 258C and the barometric pressure was 758.8 mm Hg (torr). Refer to the Introduction and data sheet to solve the following problems.

a) What is the vapor pressure of the water vapor in the column? (Consult Appendix E.)

b) What is the pressure of the water column expressed in mm Hg (torr)? The density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL.

c) Calculate the pressure of the hydrogen gas above the water in the column.

d) Calculate the volume occupied by the hydrogen gas at STP.

Answer:

a)  25\textdegree C=23.8 torrs

b) P_w=758.8

c)  P_w=758.8=735torr

d)  V_2=20.82mL

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Metal weight M_m=0.0713g

Volume Hydrogen V_h=23.5mL

Displace-ment Column of water 400 mm column of water

Temperature T =258\textdegree C

Barometric Pressure p=758.8mmHg

Vapour Pressure of water at 25^oC

Generally from (Consult Appendix E.)

a)

Va-pour Pressure of water at

25\textdegree C=23.8 torrs

b)

Pressure of Water column

P_w=758.8

c) Pressure of Water column (Consult Appendix E.)

P_w=758.8=735torr

d)

Generally the equation for ideal gas is mathematically given by

 \frac{p_1v_1}{T_1}=\frac{p_2v_2}{T_2}

Therefore

 V_2=\frac{p_1V_1T_2}{T_1p_2}

 V_2=\frac{735*23.5*273}{298*760}

 V_2=20.82mL

S<br> SIO₂ +3C Sic +20o<br> Sic ? mass in grams<br> С c-
seraphim [82]

Answer:

26.74g

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

SIO₂ + 3C --> SiC +2CO

From the balanced equation, the relationship between SiC and C is;

3 mol of C produces 1 mol of SiC

Converting mol to mass using; Mass = moles * Molar mass

Mass of SiC = 1 mol * 40.11 g/mol = 40.11g

This means;

3 mol of C produces 40.11g of SiC

2 mol of C produces xg of SiC

3 = 40.11

2 = x

x = 2 * 40.11 / 3 = 26.74g
