Answer:
1. (a) on land and offshore
2. (c) Boiling, evaporation and condensation
3.(d) Haematite and asphalt.
4. (a) octane
5.(d) petroleum gases, liquids and solids.
Explanation:
Cracking refers to the the breakdown of heavier fractions of crude oil to give the lighter fractions of crude oil having greater economic value. For instance, diesel oil may be cracked to yield gasoline which is composed of lighter hydrocarbons and has greater economic value. Cracking is of importance in the petroleum industry because it is used to produce lighter hydrocarbons from heavier ones.
Reforming is the conversion of straight chain hydrocarbons to branched chain hydrocarbons having a lesser tendency towards knocking of engines. It is very important in the petroleum industry because it leads to the production of better quality fuels with higher octane rating.
b) In Nigeria, oil producing communities are usually faced with the problem of damage to arable land due to oil exploration activities. Many oil producing communities in Nigeria are facing severe damage to the ecosystem due to oil drilling in those areas. Also, oil rich communities are at risk of crud oil spillage which contaminates water bodies and leads to loss of employment for the local people and death of aquatic animals.
Answer:
Synthesis reactions. Decomposition reactions. Combustion reactions.
Explanation:
Synthesis reactions. - Two or more reactants combine to make 1 new product
Decomposition reactions. - A single reactant breaks down to form 2 or more products.
Combustion reactions. - A single element or compound combines with oxygen gas releasing energy. This rapid oxidation is called burning.
Answer:
1.17 mol
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced equation
2 Al + 6 HCl → 2 AlCl₃ + 3 H₂
Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 85.0 g of HCl
The molar mass of HCl is 36.46 g/mol.
85.0 g × 1 mol/36.46 g = 2.33 mol
Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of H₂ produced from 2.33 moles of HCl
The molar ratio of HCl to H₂ is 6:3.
2.33 mol HCl × 3 mol H₂/6 mol H₂ = 1.17 mol H₂
Protons=electrons(12 electrons)
however it has a charge of +2 which means it loses two electrons, thus, there are 10 electrons.
