Answer:

I hope it helps u

Explanation:

The advantages of using natural gas rather than coal are the following,

Natural gas is present in large amount than coal.
Natural gas is less costly than other fossil fuel sources of energy.
It increases security by decreasing dependence.
Natural gas is more environmentally friendly.
Natural gas is much safer to store.
It is reliable.
Natural gas is a fossil fuel, though the global warming emissions from its combustion are much lower than those from coal or oil.
Natural gas emits 50 to 60 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) when combusted in a new, efficient natural gas-power plant compared with emissions from a typical new coal plant.

Answer:

Identify the "given" information and what the problem is asking you to "find."

Given : Cl2O7

Find: % Composition (% Cl and %O)

List other known quantities.

Mass of Cl in 1 mol Cl2O7 , 2 Cl : 2 x 35.45 g = 70.90 g

Mass of O in 1 mol Cl2O7 , 7 O: 7 x 16.00 g = 112.00 g

Molar mass of Cl2O7 = 182.90 g/mol

A tanker truck carrying 6.05×103 kg of concentrated sulfuric acid solution tips over and spills its load. The sulfuric acid solu

irinina [24]

Answer:

6,216.684 kilograms of sodium carbonate must be added to neutralize $6.05\times 10^3 kg$ of sulfuric acid solution.

Explanation:

Mass of sulfuric acid solution = $6.05\times 10^3 kg=6.05\times 10^6 g$

$1 kg = 10^3 g$

Percentage mass of sulfuric acid = 95.0%

Mass of sulfuric acid = $\frac{95.0}{100}\times 6.05\times 10^6 g$

$=5,747,500 g$

Moles of sulfuric acid = $\frac{5,747,500 g}{98 g/mol}=58,647.96 mol$

$H_2SO_4+Na_2CO_3\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+CO_2+H_2O$

According to reaction , 1 mole of sulfuric acid is neutralized by 1 mole of sodium carbonate.

Then 58,647.96 moles of sulfuric acisd will be neutralized by :

$\frac{1}{1}\times 58,647.96 mol=58,647.96 mol$ of sodium carbonate

Mass of 58,647.96 moles of sodium carbonate :

$106 g/mol\times 58,647.96 mol=6,216,683.76 g$

6,216,683.76 g = 6,216,683.76 × 0.001 kg = 6,216.684 kg

6,216.684 kilograms of sodium carbonate must be added to neutralize $6.05\times 10^3 kg$ of sulfuric acid solution.
