Answer:

The correct answer is - A. Ethanol reduces air pollution.

Explanation:

Ethanol is believed to be better fuel for the environment than other petroleum fuels. Ethanol emits lower carbon dioxide as it is clean smokeless fuel, and produces less or the same oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons.

It is produced by the process of fermentation of molasses by yeast. Mixing it with the other fuels is found to be CO2 reduces by 30% of emissions to the atmosphere.

D=___g/mL<br> v=100mL<br> m=1.5kg=___g

Bess [88]

The volume is 100mL.

The mass is 1.5kg which is equal to 1500g.

Thus, the density is 1500g / 100mL which is 15g/mL.

At a festival, spherical balloons with a radius of 280. Cm are to be inflated with hot air and released. The air at the festival

evablogger [386]

Answer:

8608.18 balloons

Explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

Data needed:

Enthalpy of propane formation: 103.85kJ / mol

Specific heat capacity of air: 1.009J · g ° C

Density of air at 100 ° C: 0.946kg / m3

Density of propane at 100 ° C: 1.440kg / m3

First we will calculate the propane heat (C3H8)

3000g * (1mol / 44g) * (103.85kJ / mol) * (1000J / 1kJ) = 7.08068 * 10 ^ 6 J

Then we can calculate the mass of the air with the heat formula

Q = mc delta T

m = Q / c delta T = (7.08068 * 10 ^ 6 J) / (1.009J / kg ° C * (100-25) ° C) =

m = 93566.96kg

We now calculate the volume of a balloon.

V = 4/3 * pi * r ^ 3 = 4/3 * 3.14 * 1.4m ^ 3 = 11.49m ^ 3

Now we calculate the mass of the balloon

mg = 0.946kg / m3 * 11.49m ^ 3 = 10.87kg

The amount of balloons is

93566.96kg / 10.87kg = 8608.18 balloons

Describe how particles of iron (Fe) an oxygen (O2) react to how produce oxide (Fe2O3), also known as rust.

forsale [732]

Answer:

Described by a redox reaction below

Explanation:

Iron(III) oxide is an ionic compound, since it consists of a metal, iron, and a nonmetal, oxygen.

Ionic compounds are formed when metals lose their valence electrons in order to have an octet in their previous shell and donate them to nonmetal atoms, so that nonmetals fill their outer shell to have an octet.

As a result, positive ions (cations) and negative ions (anions) are formed. When iron reacts with oxygen, the following reaction takes place:

$4 Fe (s) + 3 O_2 (g)\rightarrow 2 Fe_2O_3 (s)$

This is a redox (oxidation–reduction) reaction, since we have electron loss and gain. Four iron atoms lose a total of 12 electrons to obtain a +3 charge in the final compound, while 3 oxygen molecules gain these 12 electrons to become 6 oxide anions with a -2 charge.
