Answer: Different ways of distributing energy have different short-term and long-term environmental consequences.

Explanation:

Due to the big issue of some energy sources being non-renewable and some being renewable, lawmakers have a lot on their plate. Non-renewable sources of energy are harmful to the environment, but they work the best. Renewable sources of energy cost a lot and work, but they require a lot of effort.

What are some milk products made from lactic acid fermentation?

Nadusha1986 [10]

The presence of lactic acid, produced during the lactic acid fermentation is responsible for the sour taste and for the improved microbiological stability and safety of the food. This lactic acid fermentation is responsible for the sour taste of dairy products such as cheese, yoghurt and kefir.
1.Western world: yogurt, sourdough breads, sauerkraut, cucumber pickles and olives.
2.Middle East: pickled vegetables.
3.Korea: kimchi (fermented mixture of Chinese cabbage, radishes, red pepper, garlic and ginger)
4.Russia: kefir.
5.Egypt: laban rayab and laban zeer (fermented milks), kishk (fermented cereal and milk mixture)
6.Nigeria: gari (fermented cassava)
7.South Africa : magou (fermented maize porridge)
8.Thailand : nham (fermented fresh pork)
9.Philippines : balao balao (fermented rice and shrimp mixture)
Lactic acid fermentation also gives the sour taste to fermented vegetables such as traditionally cultured sauerkraut and pickles. The sugars in the cabbage are converted into lactic acid and serve as a preservative.

If volumes are additive and 253 mL of 0.19 M potassium bromide is mixed with 441 mL of a potassium dichromate solution to give a

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

The concentration of the Potassium Dichromate solution is 0.611 M

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand that in the final solution we'll have potassium ions coming from KBr and also K2Cr2O7, so we state the dissociation equations of both compounds:

KBr (aq) → K+ (aq) + Br- (aq)

K2Cr2O7 (aq) → 2K+ (aq) + Cr2O7 2- (aq)

According to these balanced equations when 1 mole of KBr dissociates, it generates 1 mole of potassium ions. Following the same thought, when 1 mole of K2Cr2O7 dissociates, we obtain 2 moles of potassium ions instead.

Having said that, we calculate the moles of potassium ions coming from the KBr solution:

0.19 M KBr: this means that we have 0.19 moles of KBr in 1000 mL solution. So:

1000 mL solution ----- 0.19 moles of KBr

253 mL solution ----- x = 0.04807 moles of KBr

As we said before, 1 mole of KBr will contribute with 1 mole of K+, so at the moment we have 0.04807 moles of K+.

Now, we are told that the final concentration of K+ is 0.846 M. This means we have 0.846 moles of K+ in 1000 mL solution. Considering that volumes are additive, we calculate the amount of K+ moles we have in the final volume solution (441 mL + 253 mL = 694 mL):

1000 mL solution ----- 0.846 moles K+

694 mL solution ----- x = 0.587124 moles K+

This is the final quantity of potassium ion moles we have present once we mixed the KBr and K2Cr2O7 solutions. Because we already know the amount of K+ moles that were added with the KBr solution (0.04807 moles), we can calculate the contribution corresponding to K2Cr2O7:

0.587124 final K+ moles - 0.04807 K+ moles from KBr = 0.539054 K+ moles from K2Cr2O7

If we go back and take a look a the chemical reactions, we can see that 1 mole of K2Cr2O7 dissociates into 2 moles of K+ ions, so:

2 K+ moles ----- 1 K2Cr2O7 mole

0.539054 K+ moles ---- x = 0.269527 K2Cr2O7 moles

Now this quantity of potassium dichromate moles came from the respective solution, that is 441 mL, so we calculate the amount of them that would be present in 1000 mL to determine de molar concentration:

441 mL ----- 0.269527 K2Cr2O7 moles

1000 mL ----- x = 0.6112 K2Cr2O7 moles = 0.6112 M

What are the names of the following three compounds (see attached)

balu736 [363]

Answer:

1. 4-ethyl-1-heptene

2. 6-ethyl-2-octene

3. 1-butyne

Explanation:

The compounds are named according to IUPAC rules.

Compound 1:

Identify the longest carbon chain. This chain is called the parent chain.
Identify all of the substituents (groups appending from the parent chain).
The parent chain is numbered so that the multiple bonds have the lowest numbers (double has the priority over alkyl substituents).
The longest chain contains 7 carbon atoms, so taken the name hept.
The double bond between C1 and C2, so take no. 1 and add the suffix ene to hept "1-heptene".
The ethyl group is the alkyl substituent on position 4.
So the name is 4-ethyl-1-heptene.

Compound 2:

Identify the longest carbon chain. This chain is called the parent chain.
Identify all of the substituents (groups appending from the parent chain).
The parent chain is numbered so that the multiple bonds have the lowest numbers (double has the priority over alkyl substituents).
The longest chain contains 8 carbon atoms, so taken the name oct.
The double bond between C2 and C3, so take no. 2 and add the suffix ene to oct "2-octene".
The ethyl group is the alkyl substituent on position 6.

So the name is 6-ethyl-2-octene.

Compound 3:

Identify the longest carbon chain. This chain is called the parent chain.
Identify all of the substituents (groups appending from the parent chain), there is no substituents.
The parent chain is numbered so that the multiple bonds have the lowest numbers (Triple bond here take the lowest number).
The longest chain contains 4 carbon atoms, so taken the name but.
The triple bond between C1 and C2, so take no. 1 and add the suffix yne to but "1-butyne".

So the name is 1-butyne.

The melting point of H₂O(s) is 0 °C. Would you expect the melting point of H₂S(s) to be 85 °C, 0 °C or -85 °C.? Justify your cho

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

-85 °C

Explanation:

O and S are in the same group( Group 16). Since S is below O it's atomic mass is higher than O. So molar mass of H2S is higher than H2O. The strength of Vanderwaal Interactions ( London dispersion forces) increases when the molar mass increases. However, only H2O can form H bonds with each other. This is because electronegativity of O is higher than S and therefore H in H2O has a higher partial positive charge than H of H2S.

H bond dominate among these 2 types of forces so the strength of attractions between molecules is higher in H2O than H2S. Therefore more energy should be supplied for H2O to break inter

molecular forces and convert from solid to liquid state than H2S. So mpt of H2O must be higher than that of H2S.
