How do CFC’s illustrate that technical advances can be a “double-edged” sword?

Chemistry

hram777 [196]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

CFC’s illustrate that technical advances can be a “double-edged” sword as CFC's were made for the advantages but soon or later it came as a disadvantage for environment.

CFC's was discovered with many advantages such as they are stable, non-corrosive, and replacement of harmful ammonia used in refrigerators  and air conditioning systems. But soon it is also discovered that CFC's are destroying  the upper atmosphere layer called ozone, which is a very big disadvantage for us. CFCs are major contributor  to global warming after carbon dioxide.

Hence, it proves that CFC’s shows how technological advancement can be “double-edged” sword.

When 16.9 g KOH is dissolved in 90.8 g of water in a coffee-cup calorimeter, the temperature rises from 18.5 °C to 34.27 °C. Wha
juin [17]

Answer:

-431.5 J/g

Explanation:

Mass of solution = Mass of solute + mass of solvent

Solute is KOH while solvent is water.

Mass of KOH = 16.9 g

Mass of water = 90.8 g

Mass of solution = 16.9 + 90.8

                          = 107.7 g

Change in temperature (Δt) = 34.27 - 18.5

                                           = 16.2 °C

Heat required to raise the temperature of water is released by dissolving KOH.

Therefore,

Heat released by KOH = m × s× Δt

                                    = 107.7 × 4.18 × 16.2

                                    = 7293 J

Heat released by per g KOH = 7293 J/16.9 g

                                             = 431.5 J/g

As heat is released therefore, enthalpy change would be negative.

Enthalpy change of KOH = -431.5 J/g

Liquid hydrogen peroxide, an oxidizing agent in many rocket fuel mixtures, releases oxygen gas on decomposition.
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

4.3 x 10⁶ kJ are released

Explanation:

From the balanced chemical equation we know that when 2 moles of hydrogen peroxide decompose, 191 kJ of heat are released. So what we need to calculate is the number of moles the 765 kg of H2O2 represent and calculate the heat released.

Molar Mass H2O2 = 34.01 g/mol

Mass H2O2 = 765 Kg x 1000 g/Kg = 765000 g

moles H2O2 = 1 Mol / 34.01 g x 765000  grams = 22.5 Mol

(-196.1 kJ/ 2 mol H2O2 )  x 22.5 mol H2O2 = -4.3 x 10⁶ kJ

Which Earth motion describes the wobbling of the Earth around its precessional axis and
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Nutation

Explanation:

The counterclockwise rotation of planet earth around its own axis is defined as the Earth Rotation. The earth rotates about the line called "the axis of rotation," it is an imaginary line that passes through the North and South Poles of the planet, which the earth rotates about.

Hence, earth rotates once in about 24 hours with respect to the Sun, from West to East and thus giving rise to;

a. Day and night

b. Seasons

The Earth motion which describes the wobbling of the Earth around its precessional axis and could alter the amount of seasonal effects is known as nutation.

Basically, nutation usually occurs when the precessional motion of a planetary body such as planet earth experience some form of irregularities when it is rotating.

Why does 4.03/0.0000035 = 1.2 x 106, instead of a different number of significant figures?
jasenka [17]

Explanations:- As per the significant figures rule, In multiplication and division, we go with least number of sig figs.

4.03 has three sig figs where as 0.0000035 has two sig figs only, The zeros in this number are not sig figs as they are just holding the place values. As the least number of sig figs here is two, the answer needs to be reported with two sig figs only.

\frac{4.03}{0.0000035}=1.2*10^6
