Answer:

Explanation:

Nonrenewable energy resources, like coal, nuclear, oil, and natural gas, are available in limited supplies while renewable resources are replenished naturally and over relatively short periods of time. Yes, Biomass is renewable organic material that comes from plants and animals.

Answer:

Yes, biomass is a renewable energy source

Explanation:

Biomass—renewable energy from plants and animals

Nonrenewable energy resources, like coal, nuclear, oil, and natural gas, are available in limited supplies. Renewable resources are replenished naturally and over relatively short periods of time.

A chemistry student is given 700. mL of a clear aqueous solution at 26.Â° C. He is told an unknown amount of a certain compound

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The correct answer is - yes, 4.57 g of solute per 100 ml of solution

Explanation:

The correct answer is yes we can calculate the solubility of X in the water at 22.0Â°C. The salt will remain after the evaporate from the dissolved and cooled down at 26Â°C.

Then, the amount of solute dissolved in the 700 ml solution at 26°C is the weighed precipitate: 0.032 kg = 32 g.

Then solublity will be :

32. g solute / 700 ml solution = y / 100 ml solution

⇒ y = 32. g solute × 100 ml solution / 700 ml solution = 4.57 g.

Thus, the answer is 4.57 g of solute per 100 ml of solution.

Write the full ionic equation and net ionic equation for sodium dihydrogen phosphate + calcium carbonate, sodium oxilate + calcl

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Sodium dihydrogen phosphate + calcium carbonate

Full ionic equation

2 Na⁺(aq) + 2 H₂PO₄⁻(aq) + CaCO₃(s) ⇄ 2 Na⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq) + Ca(H₂PO₄)₂(s)

Net ionic equation

2 H₂PO₄⁻(aq) + CaCO₃(s) ⇄ CO₃²⁻(aq) + Ca(H₂PO₄)₂(s)

Sodium oxalate + calcium carbonate

Full ionic equation

2 Na⁺(aq) + C₂O₄²⁻(aq) + CaCO₃(s) ⇄ 2 Na⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq) + CaC₂O₄(s)

Net ionic equation

C₂O₄²⁻(aq) + CaCO₃(s) ⇄ CO₃²⁻(aq) + CaC₂O₄(s)

Sodium hydrogen phosphate + calcium carbonate

Full ionic equation

2 Na⁺(aq) + HPO₄²⁻(aq) + CaCO₃(s) ⇄ CaHPO₄(s) + 2 Na⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)

Net ionic equation

HPO₄²⁻(aq) + CaCO₃(s) ⇄ CaHPO₄(s) + CO₃²⁻(aq)

Explanation:

Let's consider two kind of equations:

Full ionic equation: includes all ions and species that do not dissociate in water.
Net ionic equation: includes only ions that participate in the reaction (not spectator ions) and species that do not dissociate in water.

What phenomenon in nature do scientists use to define the length of a meter? Why is this a better definition than “the length of

sergey [27]

Answer:

The natural phenomenon used to describe the length of a meter is the speed of light. The length of a meter is the length a light path travels in 1/(299792458) seconds through a vacuum.

The definition is better due to the uncertainty involved in the use of the length of a standard meter stick because the length of the meter stick could change due to atmospheric conditions from place to place

How does liquid turn into gas? (Question for my sister)

kodGreya [7K]

If you were to take water (like many other materials) and break it up into almost the smallest things you could, you’d get molecules. If the molecules are stuck together really tightly in a regular pattern, then they’re called a solid. The solid form of water is ice. This actually makes a lot of sense, because it certainly does seem like all the little parts of a solid (like ice) are stuck together very tightly.

When you heat something up, it makes the molecules move faster. If you heat up a typical solid, it melts and becomes a liquid. In a liquid (like water), the molecules are still stuck together, but they can move around some. What actually happens is that the molecules are still sort of sticking together, but they’re constantly breaking apart and sticking to different molecules. This also makes sense when you think about water. Water sort of sticks together, but it breaks apart /really/ easily.

If you heat a liquid like water up even more (like if you put it in a pot on the stove), then the molecules will move around so fast that they can’t even hold on to each other at all. When this happens, all of the molecules go flying apart and become a gas (like when you boil water to make steam). The process of gas molecules leaving the liquid to go into the gas is called "evaporation." The opposite process is called "condensation."

Hope this answers your question!
