You don't "turn" it into energy; petroleum HAS stored energy (chemical energy).However, you can turn it into ANOTHER TYPE OF ENERGY; usually this is done by burning the petroleum, and using it to drive machinery.
Since burning fuels is wasteful (the efficiency is limited, in theory, to the Carnot efficiency of a heat engine), other options are being explored, such as chemical reactions in a fuel cell. But such technology is not yet used on a large scale.
Answer:On these combined scales of pH and pH it can be shown that because for water when pH = pH = 7 that pH + pH = 14. This relationship is useful in the inter conversion of values. For example, the pH at a 0.01 M solution of sodium hydroxide is 2, the pH of the same solution must be 14-2 = 12.
Explanation:
Answer:
0.00230 = <u>3 significant figures</u>
Explanation:
Significant digits or figures of a given number are the digits or figures that have meaning and contributes to the precision of the given number.
Therefore, <u>0.00230 = 3 significant figures.</u>
Reason: The non-zeros figures and the trailing zero after the decimal are significant. Whereas, all the leading zeros are not considered significant.
A stable isotope has just<em> the right number of neutrons for the number of protons </em>(the <em>n:p ratio</em>) to hold the nucleus together against the repulsions of the protons.
A radioactive isotope has either too few or too many neutrons for the nucleus to be stable,
The nucleus will then emit <em>alpha, beta, or gamma radiation</em> in an attempt to become more stable.
