Fossil fuels — coal, petroleum, and natural gas — are our main sources of energy, producing the vast majority of fuel, electricity, and heat used by people across the globe. In 2005 a whopping 86 percent of energy used worldwide came from fossil fuel combustion, and right now in the United States, the number isn’t much lower at about 85 percent. Unfortunately fossil fuels are also the primary culprit behind climate change. In the United States, they’re to blame for more than 80 percent of greenhouse gas emissions — and 98 percent of CO2 emissions alone. And while natural processes can absorb some of this CO2, an estimated 4.1 billion metric tons of it is added to our atmosphere each year. That number will rise dramatically if we don’t check ourselves.
Answer:
B. The water must gain thermal energy from its surroundings.
Explanation:
Boiling is the process whereby a substance is changed from a liquid state to a gaseous state due to the application of heat. For boiling to be achieved, a liquid substance must reach or exceed its boiling point, which is the specific temperature at which a specific liquid boils.
For this change of state i.e. from liquid to gas, to occur, atoms or molecules of the liquid must gain kinetic energy and move faster. However, this kinetic energy cannot be attained without a rise in temperature, which causes the molecules to gain THERMAL ENERGY or heat energy and move fast. Thermal energy is the energy that arises from a hot substance.
Therefore, for water to boil at a given pressure, it must gain thermal energy from its external surroundings, which causes its molecules to have an increased kinetic energy and move faster. This fast movement of the molecules causes the transition of phases (from liquid to gas).
Answer:
b. Fe-O
Explanation:
A way to predict melting points for ionic compounds is with electronegativity.
Electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.
The most electronegativity difference (E.D.), the highest melting point, thus:
E.D. Al-N = 3,0 - 1,6 = <em>1,4</em>
E.D. Fe-O = 3,5 - 1,8 = <em>1,7</em>
E.D. W-C = 2,5 - 1,7 = <em>0,8</em>
The most electronegativity difference is from Fe-O, thus, this ionic compound will have the highest melting point.
I hope it helps!
the answer is 0.000097 KM
A scale and a ruler. The scale to measure the mass, and a ruler to measure the volume.
