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?

Energy Sources (6 points) A. Sort the types of energy into the "renewable" and "nonrenewable" columns. (1 point)
denpristay [2]

Explanation:

(A)   Renewable resources are defined as the resources that can be used again and again.

For example, wind, hydroelectric energy, geothermal etc.

On the other hand, resources which cannot be used again and again and which cannot be replaced by natural means are known as non-renewable resources.

For example, coal, petroleum etc are all non-renewable resources.

Therefore, given options are distinguished as follows.

Renewable energy : Wind, Hydroelectric, Geothermal, Biomass, and Solar.

Non-renewable energy : Coal, Petroleum, Natural gas.

(B)    Fuels which decompose for a long period of time and which arise from old life forms are known as fossil fuels.

When fossil fuels burn in the presence of air that is, combustion of fossil fuels give carbon dioxide and water.

What is the empirical formula for a compound if a sample contains 3.72 g of P and 21.28 g of Cl
fenix001 [56]
M(P)=3.72 g
M(P)=31 g/mol

m(Cl)=21.28 g
M(Cl)=35.5 g/mol

n(P)=m(P)/M(P)
n(P)=3.72/31=0.12 mol

n(Cl)=m(Cl)/M(Cl)
n(Cl)=21.28/35.5=0.60 mol

P : Cl = 0.12 : 0.60 = 1 : 5

PCl₅ - is the empirical formula

Collected data consists of:

The number of moles of the magnesium (mg) is 0.00067 mol.

The number of moles of hydrogen gas is 0.0008 mol.

The volume of 1 more hydrogen gas (mL) at STP is 22.4 L.

<h3>Number of moles of the magnesium (mg)</h3>

The number of moles of the magnesium (mg) is calculated as follows;

number of moles = reacting mass / molar mass

molar mass of magnesium (mg) = 24 g/mol

number of moles = 0.016 g / 24 g/mol = 0.00067 mol.

<h3>Number of moles of hydrogen gas</h3>

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

Apply Boyle's law to determine the change in volume.

P1V1 = P2V2

V2 = (P1V1)/P2

V2 = (101.39 x 146)/(116.54)

V2 = 127.02 mL

Now determine the number of moles using the following value of ideal constant.

R = 8.314 LkPa/mol.K

n = (15.15 kPa x 0.127 L)/(8.314 x 290.95)

n = 0.0008

<h3>Volume of 1 mole of hydrogen gas at STP</h3>

V = nRT/P

V = (1 x 8.314 x 273) / (101.325)

V = 22.4 L

Please help on this one?

Answer:

\text{C. } _{36}^{85}\text{Kr}

Explanation:

Your nuclear equation is  

_{35}^{85}\text{Br} \longrightarrow \, _{-1}^{0}\text{e} +\, _{x}^{y}\text{X}

The main point to remember in balancing nuclear equations is that

  • the sum of the superscripts and must be the same on each side of the equation.
  • the sum of the subscripts must be the same on each side of the equation.  

Then  

85 = 0 + y, so y = 85 - 0 = 0  

35 = -1 + x, so x = 35 + 1 = 36

The nucleus with atomic number 36 and atomic mass 85 is krypton-85.  

The nuclear equation becomes  

_{35}^{85}\text{Br} \longrightarrow \, _{-1}^{0}\text{e} + \, _{36}^{85}\text{Kr}
