Energy can be generated without burning fossil fuels

Explanation:

The main positive effect of nuclear power plants is that energy can be generated without burning off fossil fuels.

Nuclear power is an alternate source of energy.

As much as there are problems with disposal of radioactive wastes, nuclear energy does from power plants does not release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Burning of fossil fuel creates an environmental mess by releasing pollutants into the atmosphere.
This way, global warming can result.
Nuclear energy does not involve the burning of any fossil fuel. Nuclear fuels are used in this process.

Calculate the amount of oxygen gas collected by the displacement of water at 14◦C if the atmospheric pressure is 790 Torr and th

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer : The amount of oxygen gas collected are, 0.217 mol

Explanation :

Using ideal gas equation :

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of gas = $(790-12)torr=778torr=1.02atm$ (1 atm = 760 torr)

V = volume of gas = 5 L

T = temperature of gas = $14^oC=273+14=287K$

n = number of moles of gas = ?

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get:

$(1.02atm)\times (5L)=n\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times (287K)$

$n=0.217mole$

Thus, the amount of oxygen gas collected are, 0.217 mol

Which separation techniques will you apply for the separation of the following? a) oil from water b) kerosene and petrol c) salt

REY [17]

Answer:

A) Separating funnel method

B) Simple Distillation

C) Evaporation

D) Sublimation

E) It is based on the principle of separation whereby even though two substances are dissolved in the same solvent, their respective solubilities could be different. Thus, the component that has more solubility will rise fastest and will therefore get separated from the mixture.

Explanation:

B) Kerosene and petrol are both miscible liquids and the difference in their boiling point temperature is not more than 25°C. Thus, we make use of Simple distillation.

C) Can be separated by evaporation where the water is boiled and it evaporates and leaves the salt behind

D) To separate camphor from salt, we use sublimation so the camphor can change directly from solid to the gas state without passing through the liquid state.

E) Chromatography is used to separate components of a mixture.

It is based on the principle of separation whereby even though two substances are dissolved in the same solvent, their respective solubilities could be different. Thus, the component that has more solubility will rise fastest and will therefore get separated from the mixture.

One of the reactions that occurs in a blast furnace, in which iron ore is converted to cast iron, is Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2 Su

Tpy6a [65]

Answer : The percent purity of $Fe_2O_3$ in the original sample is 87.94 %

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is:

$Fe_2O3+3CO\rightarrow 2Fe+3CO_2$

First we have to calculate the mass of Fe.

$\text{Moles of }Fe=\frac{\text{Mass of }Fe}{\text{Molar mass of }Fe}$

Molar mass of Fe = 55.8 g/mole

$\text{Moles of }Fe=\frac{1.79\times 10^3kg}{55.8g/mole}=\frac{1.79\times 10^3\times 1000g}{55.8g/mole}=3.15\times 10^4mole$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $Fe_2O_3$

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

As, 2 moles of Fe produced from 1 mole of $Fe_2O_3$

So, $3.15\times 10^4mole$ of Fe produced from $\frac{3.15\times 10^4}{2}=15750$ mole of $Fe_2O_3$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $Fe_2O_3$

$\text{ Mass of }Fe_2O_3=\text{ Moles of }Fe_2O_3\times \text{ Molar mass of }Fe_2O_3$

Molar mass of $Fe_2O_3$ = 159.69 g/mole

$\text{ Mass of }Fe_2O_3=(15750moles)\times (159.69g/mole)=2.515\times 10^6g=2.515\times 10^3kg$

Now we have to calculate the percent purity of $Fe_2O_3$ in the original sample.

Mass of original sample = $2.86\times 10^3kg$

$\text{Percent purity}=\frac{\text{Mass of }Fe_2O_3}{\text{Mass of sample}}\times 100$

$\text{Percent purity}=\frac{2.515\times 10^3kg}{2.86\times 10^3kg}\times 100=87.94\%$

Therefore, the percent purity of $Fe_2O_3$ in the original sample is 87.94 %
