Electric motors are an essential part of our daily life as many systems, applications, and services depend on them. Motors today have a long service life and require a minimum level of maintenance to make sure that they perform efficiently. In large buildings, motors have to be maintained on a regular basis because they need to be in operation all the time; one small problem could cause a great loss to the organization.
Usually in large organizations, a motor maintenance program is carried out in which the causes of motor failures are identified and some necessary steps are taken to avoid them or lower their impact. Motors need to be inspected regularly, and other maintenance activities need to be performed to ensure efficient operation. Whenever a problem occurs, it should be corrected immediately to avoid further loss.
A local community needs to provide more electricity for its growing population. Currently, the community's electricity needs are met by coal-burning power plants several kilometres away. Citizens are concerned that burning more coal will produce too much air pollution.
Which of the following could be used as an alternative energy resource to help minimise air pollution in this community?
A. hydroelectric energy
B. solar energy
C. wind energy
<u>D. all of these

A lone oxygen atom has 6 electrons in its outer shell which is not very stable, whereas as full octet (8 outer shell electrons) is stable. In order to achieve this two oxygen atoms will share 4 electrons, each contributing 2 electrons. Since these electrons exist within the orbitals of both atoms, to oxygen atoms essentially achieve a full octet.
86 percent is the percent yield for this experiment if he expected to produce 5g of product.
Explanation:
Given that:
mass of test tube = 5 grams
mass of test tube + reactant is 12.5 grams
mass of reactant = ( mass of test tube + reactant ) - (mass of test tube)
mass of reactant = 12.5 -5
= 7.5 grams
when 7.5 grams of reactant is heated mass of test tube was found to be 9.3 grams.
so mass of product formed = 9.3 - 5
= 4. 3 grams of product is formed (actual yield)
However, he expected the product to be 5 grams (theoretical yield)
Percent yield = 
x 100
putting the values in the formula:
percent yield = 
x 100
= 86 %
86 percent is the percent yield.
