Chemical energy sources are often portable and provide large amounts of energy. Fossil fuels are one kind of chemical energy sou

rce. Most of the energy we use in the United States is generated by the combustion of fossil fuels. However, fossil fuel combustion adds greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, mostly CO2. One measure of the total amount of greenhouse gases that are emitted into the atmosphere each year is called a carbon footprint. Read this article to compare the carbon footprint of an average person in the United States to an average person around the world.
Knowing that greenhouse gases are contributing to climate change, how can we reduce our carbon footprint, particularly in the United States? Could hydrogen fuel replace fossil fuels in the future? Why or why not? Should the size of a person’s carbon footprint be limited by law? Why or why not?

You throw a barbeque for your friends. Before you start the grill, your propane tank has a pressure of 78 psi. When you’re finis
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

b. 485 kPa

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's law express that the pressure of a gas under constant volume is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. The equation is:

P1T2 = P2T1

<em>P is pressure and T absolute temperature of 1, initial state and 2, final state of the gas</em>

<em>Where P1 = 74psi</em>

<em>T2 = 20°C + 273.15 = 293.15K</em>

<em>P2 = ?</em>

<em>T1 = (95°F -32) * 5/9 + 273.15 = 308.15K</em>

<em />

Replacing:

74psi*293.15K = P2*308.15K

70.4psi

In kPa:

70.4psi * (6.895kPa / 1psi) =

<h3>b. 485 kPa </h3>

Why electronegative decrease going down the periodic table
liraira [26]
Moving down in a group, the electronegativity decreases due to an increase in the distance between the nucleus and the valence electron shell, thereby decreasing the attraction, making the atom have less of an attraction for electrons or protons.

Which of the following best describes an empirical formula?
Monica [59]

Answer:

Option C :

a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio

Explanation:

Empirical Formula:

Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.

So,

Tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule

For Example

      C₂H₆O₂ Consist of  Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O)

Now

Look at the ratio of these three atoms in the compound

                         C : H : O

                         2 : 6 : 2

Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio

                          C : H : O

                         2/2 : 6/2 : 2/2

                             1 : 3 : 1

So for the empirical formula the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is 1:3:1

So the empirical formula will be

                     Empirical formula of C₂H₆O₂ = CH₃O

So, Option C is correct :

a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio
