Answer: When coal is burned, chemical potential energy is transformed into thermal energy, light energy, and sound energy. Only the thermal energy is used for electricity production. Light and sound energy dissipate into the environment, immediately reducing efficiency.
Hope this helps.
CO2 is the emperical formula of carbon dioxide
MgCl2 because it is the only option in which a metal appears with a nonmetal. In this case, the metal transfers electrons to the nonmental because the metal has a lower ionization energy.
We are given the following equation:
y = y0 e^-0.0001216 t
where y = 1/5 y0, y0 is the original amount
So solving for time t:
1/5 y0= y0 e^-0.0001216 t
t = 13,235.51 years
So the human died about 13235.5 years ago
