What processes add methane (CH4) to the atmosphere​

Chemistry
1 answer:
tekilochka [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Cultivated rice paddies

Drilling of natural deposits

Fossil fuel use

Burning of biomass

Landfills

Explanation:

The bulk of the methane released into the atmosphere are as a result of various human activities.

  • Cultivated rice paddies are a known source of methane
  • The drilling of natural deposits and their exploration can release some methane into the atmosphere
  • Burning of fossil fuel and biomass is a source of methane
  • Landfills produces methane as organic materials begins to decay.

When the forward and reverse paths of a change occur at the same rate,
Zarrin [17]
The correct answer is option B. When the forward and reverse paths of a change occur at the same rate, <span>the system is in equilibrium specifically in dynamic equilibrium.</span> Dynamic equilibrium is the balance in a process that is continuing. It is achieved in a reaction when the forward rate of reaction and the backward rate of reaction is at the same value or equal.

If I need 2.2 moles of CO2 , and I have excess Fe2O3 , how many moles of C do I need?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

0.733 mol.

Explanation:

  • From the balanced equation:

<em>2Fe₂O₃ + C → Fe + 3CO₂,</em>

It is clear that 1.0 moles of Fe₂O₃  react with 1.0 mole of C to produce 1.0 mole of Fe and 3.0 moles of CO₂.

  • Since Fe₂O₃ is in excess, C will be the limiting reactant.

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

1.0 mole of C produces → 3.0 moles of CO₂, from the stichiometry.

??? mole of C produces → 2.2 moles of CO₂.

∴ The no. of moles of C needed to produce 2.2 moles of CO₂ = (1.0 mole of C) (2.2 mole of CO₂) / (3.0 mole of CO₂) = 0.733 mol.

The specific silver is How many joules of energy are needed to warm 4.37 g of silver from 25.0 degrees * C to 27.5 degrees * C ?
Alexxandr [17]

0.24J/g*degC * 4.37g * 2.5degC = 2.622J

The 2.5 degC is the difference between 25 and 27.5 deg C.

From the relative rates of effusion of ²³⁵UF₆ and ²³⁸UF₆ , find the number of steps needed to produce a sample of the enriched f
Dafna11 [192]

The number of steps required to manufacture a sample of the 3.0 mole%  ²³⁵U enriched fuel used in many nuclear reactors from the relative rates of effusion of ²³⁵UF₆ and ²³⁸UF₆. ²³⁵U occurs naturally in an abundance of 0.72% are :  mining, milling, conversion, enrichment, fuel fabrication and electricity generation.

<h3>What is Uranium abundance ? </h3>
  • The majority of the 500 commercial nuclear power reactors that are currently in operation or being built across the world need their fuel to be enriched in the U-235 isotope.
  • This enrichment is done commercially using centrifuges filled with gaseous uranium.
  • A laser-excitation-based method is being developed in Australia.
  • Uranium oxide needs to be changed into a fluoride before enrichment so that it can be treated as a gas at low temperature.
  • Uranium enrichment is a delicate technology from the perspective of non-proliferation and needs to be subject to strict international regulation. The capacity for world enrichment is vastly overbuilt.

The two isotopes of uranium that are most commonly found in nature are U-235 and U-238. The 'fission' or breaking of the U-235 atoms, which releases energy in the form of heat, is how nuclear reactors generate energy. The primary fissile isotope of uranium is U-235.

The U-235 isotope makes up 0.7% of naturally occurring uranium. The U-238 isotope, which has a small direct contribution to the fission process, makes up the majority of the remaining 99.3%. (though it does so indirectly by the formation of fissile isotopes of plutonium). A physical procedure called isotope separation is used to concentrate (or "enrich") one isotope in comparison to others. The majority of reactors are light water reactors (of the PWR and BWR kinds) and need their fuel to have uranium enriched by 0.7% to 3-5% U-235.

There is some interest in increasing the level of enrichment to around 7%, and even over 20% for particular special power reactor fuels, as high-assay LEU (HALEU).

Although uranium-235 and uranium-238 are chemically identical, they have different physical characteristics, most notably mass. The U-235 atom has an atomic mass of 235 units due to its 92 protons and 143 neutrons in its nucleus. The U-238 nucleus has 146 neutrons—three more than the U-235 nucleus—in addition to its 92 protons, giving it a mass of 238 units.

The isotopes may be separated due to the mass difference between U-235 and U-238, which also makes it possible to "enrich" or raise the proportion of U-235. This slight mass difference is used, directly or indirectly, in all current and historical enrichment procedures.

Some reactors employ naturally occurring uranium as its fuel, such as the British Magnox and Canadian Candu reactors. (By contrast, to manufacture at least 90% U-235, uranium needed for nuclear bombs would need to be enriched in facilities created just for that purpose.)

Uranium oxide from the mine is first transformed into uranium hexafluoride in a separate conversion plant because enrichment operations need the metal to be in a gaseous state at a low temperature.
