Question 2 Describe the energy in coal and the way in which it’s converted to electrical energy.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Scilla [17]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Its rich carbon content gives coal most of its energy content. When coal is burned in the presence of air or oxygen, heat energy is released. This energy can then be converted to other forms of useful energy. Coal-fired plants produce electricity by burning coal in a boiler to produce steam. The steam produced, under tremendous pressure, flows into a turbine, which spins a generator to create electricity.

Hope this helps! :)

Fill in the blanks: Electrons are ___ in an ionic bond, whereas they are___ in a polar covalent bond, and ___ in a nonpolar cova
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is "transferred; unequally shared; equally shared".

Explanation:

Ionic bonding occurs when a positively charged atom (cation) interacts with a negatively charged atom (anion). In ionic bonding, the cation transfers its electron to the anion. In polar covalent bonding, electrons are unequally shared. This means that the electrons spend more time in an atom than the other, which gives partial positive and negative charges to the atoms. On the other hand in nonpolar covalent bonding, the electrons are equally shared and no charges are created.

Consider the reaction given below.
Drupady [299]

Answer:

  • <u>K =  0.167 s⁻¹</u>

Explanation:

<u>1) Rate law, at a given temperature:</u>

  • Since all the data are obtained at the same temperature, the equilibrium constant is the same.

  • Since only reactants A and B participate in the reaction, you assume that the form of the rate law is:

        r = K [A]ᵃ [B]ᵇ

<u>2) Use the data from the table</u>

  • Since the first and second set of data have the same concentration of the reactant A, you can use them to find the exponent b:

        r₁ = (1.50)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s

        r₂ = (1.50)ᵃ (2.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s

         Divide r₂ by r₁:     [ 2.50 / 1.50] ᵇ = 1 ⇒ b = 0

  • Use the first and second set of data to find the exponent a:

        r₁ = (1.50)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s

        r₃ = (3.00)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 5.00 × 10⁻¹ M/s

        Divide r₃ by r₂: [3.00 / 1.50]ᵃ = [5.00 / 2.50]

                                  2ᵃ = 2 ⇒ a = 1

         

<u>3) Write the rate law</u>

  • r = K [A]¹ [B]⁰ = K[A]

This means, that the rate is independent of reactant B and is of first order respect reactant A.

<u>4) Use any set of data to find K</u>

With the first set of data

  • r = K (1.50 M) = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s ⇒ K = 0.250 M/s / 1.50 M = 0.167 s⁻¹

Result: the rate constant is K =  0.167 s⁻¹

What substance is added during hydrolysis in order to break down food macromolecules?
TEA [102]
Hey there! :D

Look at the word hydrolysis. Hydro= water Lysis = split. (Root words) 

So, water (in terms of the word) is added to help split and breakdown macromolecules. 

I hope this helps!
