Many electrical power plants use fossil fuels, a non-renewable resource to produce electricity?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alisiya [41]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Thermal Power Plants generate electricity by converting heat into electricity, essentially by burning a fuel. ... A coal power plant works in much the same way, but instead of a nuclear reactor heating water to make steam, the heat from the burning coal powers a steam turbine

Acetic acid, CH3COOH, can be produced by bubbling oxygen gas into acetaldehyde, CH3CHO, in the presence of
slamgirl [31]

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given as;

2CH3CHO + O2 → 2CH3COOH  

If 20.0 g CH3CHO and 10.0 g O2 were put into a reaction vessel, (a)

how many grams of acetic acid will be produced?

First thing's first, we have to find he limiting reactant. This is done by comparing the number of moles of the reactants.

From the equation of the reaction;

2 mol of CH3CHO reacts with 1 mol of O2

From the masses given;

Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass

CH3CHO;

Number of moles = 20 / 44.0526 = 0.454 mol

O2;

Number of moles = 10 / 32 = 0.3125 mol

The limiting reactant is CH3CHO because O2 would be in excess.

Back to the question;

2 mol of CH3CHO produces 2 mol of CH3COOH  

0.454 mol would produce x

Solving for x;

x = 0.454 * 2 / 2 = 0.454 mol

Converting to mass;

Mass = number of moles* Molar mass

Mass = 0.454 mol *  60.052 g/mol = 27.26 grams

(b) how many grams of the excess reactant remain after the reaction is

complete

The excess reactant is O2

Number of moles left = Initial Number of moles - Number of moles that reacted

Number of moles left =  0.3125 mol - (0.454 mol / 2)

Number of moles left = 0.0855 mol

Converting to mass;

Mass = 0.0855 mol * 32 g/mol = 2.736 grams

In the presence of excess oxygen, methane gas burns in a constant-pressure system to yield carbon dioxide and water: CH4 (g) 2O2
Degger [83]

Answer:

The energy released will be -94.56 kJ or -94.6 kJ.

Explanation:

The molar mass of methane is 16g/mol

The given reaction is:

CH_{4}(g) + 2O_{2} (g) --> CO_{2} (g)+ 2H_{2}O(l)

the enthalpy of reaction is given as  ΔH = -890.0 kJ

This means that when one mole of methane undergoes combustion it gives this much of energy.

Now as given that the amount of methane combusted = 1.70g

The energy released will be:

=\frac{energy released by one moleXgiven mass}{molarmass} =\frac{-890X1.7}{16}= -94.56 kJ
