Explanation:

(A) Renewable resources are defined as the resources that can be used again and again.

For example, wind, hydroelectric energy, geothermal etc.

On the other hand, resources which cannot be used again and again and which cannot be replaced by natural means are known as non-renewable resources.

For example, coal, petroleum etc are all non-renewable resources.

Therefore, given options are distinguished as follows.

Renewable energy : Wind, Hydroelectric, Geothermal, Biomass, and Solar.

Non-renewable energy : Coal, Petroleum, Natural gas.

(B) Fuels which decompose for a long period of time and which arise from old life forms are known as fossil fuels.

When fossil fuels burn in the presence of air that is, combustion of fossil fuels give carbon dioxide and water.

tatiyna

Answer:

$T_2=12\°C$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the Charles' law equation which help us to understand the directly proportional relationship between volume and temperature:

$\frac{T_2}{V_2}=\frac{T_1}{V_1}$

Thus, by solving for the final temperature, T2, and making sure we use the temperatures in Kelvin, we can calculate the final temperature as shown below:

$T_2=\frac{T_1V_2}{V_1} \\\\T_2=\frac{(27+273)K*19L}{20.0L}\\\\T_2=285-273\\\\T_2=12\°C$

Best regards!

Answer: (3) silicon

Explanation:

Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.It can not be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.Example: Silicon (Si)

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: ethane $(C_2H_6)$ , propanone $(CH_3COCH_3)$ and water $(H_2O)$

Arun and Marcus are asked to compare the solubility of two salts in water at room temperature. The two salts are labelled X and

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

1) Salts X and Y

2) The solubility of the salts

3) a) The solvent

b) The solvent temperature

Explanation:

1) The independent variable is the variable that is suspected to be the cause of the subject of the investigation

The given investigation is meant to investigate the solubility of different salts

Therefore, the solubility is expected to be dependent on the type of salt, and the independent variable is the type of salt, X or Y

2) The dependent variable is the effect meant to be observed in the investigation, which is the solubility of the salt in water at room temperature

3) The control variables are the variables which are held constant during the investigation, including;

a) The solvent used if the investigation; water

b) The temperature of the solvent; Room temperature

What is responsible for moving the water to the ground?

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Water applied to the surface of a relatively dry soil infiltrates quickly due to the affinity of the soil particles for water. As time passes and the soil becomes wet, the force of gravity becomes the dominant force causing water to move.
