Science has classified energy into two main forms: kinetic energy and potential energy. In addition, potential energy takes several forms of its own. Kinetic energy is defined as the energy of a moving object.
Answer:
C. Carbon dioxide
Explanation:
Carbon dioxide is one of the end-product of combustion reactions involving many fuels today.
With the rapid increase in urbanization and technological development, man demand for energy increased tremendously. The discovery of fossil fuels paved the way for the astronomical increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil invovles the process where the carbon atoms present in these fuels combine with oxygen in the air to make CO2. This has resulted in an increase in the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2).
The burning fossil fuels for electricity, industry, heat, and transportation are the major sources of the emossion of carbon dioxide.
Also, the cutting down of trees for paper production, building construction and for the establishment of settlements also increase the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Trees are help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis. However, when these trees are cut down, carbon dioxide accumulates in the atmosphere.
Answer:
Explanation:
<u>1) Data:</u>
a) m = 18 kg
b) T₁ = 285 K
c) T₂ = 318 K
d) Q = 267.3 kJ
e) S = ?
<u>2) Principles and equations</u>
The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat energy absorbed to increase the temperature of certain amount (gram, kg, or moles, depending on the definition or units) of the substance in 1 ° C or 1 K.
The mathematical relation between the specific heat and the heat energy absorbed is:
Where,
- Q is the heat absorbed,
- S is the specific heat, and
- ΔT is the temperature increase (T₂ - T₁)
<u>3) Solution:</u>
<u>a) Substitute the data into the equation:</u>
- 267.3 kJ = 18 kg × S × (318 K - 285 K)
<u>b) Solve for S and compute:</u>
- S = 267.3 kJ / (18 kg × 33 K) = 0.45 kJ / (Kg . K)
The options have not units, but I notice that the first answer is 1,000 times the answer I obtained, so I will make a conversion of units.
<u>c) Convert to J /( kg . k):</u>
- 0.45 kJ / (Kg . K) × 1,000 J / kJ = 450 J / (kg . K)
Now we can see that the option A is is the answer, assuming the units.
or simply 2,8 it is isoelectronic with argon
