Answers:

Most of the world’s energy comes from what three sources?

Oil, coal, and gas.

These energy sources are called <u>fossil</u> fuels and they are <u>non-renewable</u> resources.

Fuel type: oil

How it's formed: from the remains of ancient marine organisms

Its uses: transportation, industrial power, heating and lighting, lubricants, petrochemical industry, and use of by-products

Fule type: coal

How it's formed: when dead plant matter decays into peat and is converted into coal by the heat and pressure of deep burial

Its uses: electricity generation, metal production, cement production, chemical production, gasification, and other industrial uses

Fuel type: gas

How it's formed: decomposed organic matter mixed with mud, silt, and sand on the seafloor

Its uses: heating & cooling buildings, cooking foods, fueling vehicles, and electricity generation

Consider the reaction of 35.0 g of iron as follows:

77julia77 [94]

Explanation:

4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3

Mass of iron = 35g

<em>How many moles of iron react?</em>

The relationship between mass and moles is given as;

Moles = mass / Molar mass

Molar mass of iron = 56g/mol

Number of moles = 35 / 56 = 0.625 mol

<em>How many moles of oxygen molecules must react?</em>

From the equation of the reaction;

4 mol of Fe reacts with 3 mol of Oxygen molecule

0.625 mol would react with x mol?

4 = 3

0.625 = x

x = 0.625 * 3 / 4 = 0.46875 mol

<em>How many moles of product form?</em>

From the equation of the reaction;

4 mol of Fe reacts to form 2 mol of Fe2O3

0.625 mol would form x mol of Fe2O3

4 = 2

0.625 = x

x = 0.625 * 2 / 4 = 0.3125 mol

<em>What mass of product forms?</em>

Moles = mass / Molar mass

Mass = Molar mass * Moles = 159.69 g/mol * 0.3125 mol = 49.9g

A chunk of tin weighing 18.5 grams and originally at 97.38 °C is dropped into an insulated cup containing 75.7 grams of water at

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

22.44°C will be the final temperature of the water.

Explanation:

Heat lost by tin will be equal to heat gained by the water

$-Q_1=Q_2$

Mass of tin = $m_1=18.5 g$

Specific heat capacity of tin = $c_1=0.21 J/g^oC$

Initial temperature of the tin = $T_1=97.38^oC$

Final temperature = $T_2$ =T

$Q_1=m_1c_1\times (T-T_1)$

Mass of water= $m_2=75.7 g$

Specific heat capacity of water= $c_2=4.184 J/g^oC$

Initial temperature of the water = $T_3=21.52^oC$

Final temperature of water = $T_2$ =T

$Q_2=m_2c_2\times (T-T_3)$

$-Q_1=Q_2$

$-(m_1c_1\times (T-T_1))=m_2c_2\times (T-T_3)$

On substituting all values:

$-(18.5 g\times 0.21 J/g^oC\times (T-97.38^oC))=75.7 g\times 4.184 J/g^oC\times (T-21.52 ^oC)$

we get, T = 22.44°C

22.44°C will be the final temperature of the water.

The closeness of a measurement to its true value is a measure of its ____.

Mrrafil [7]

Answer: The closeness of a measurement to its true value is a measure of its accuracy.

Explanation:

Precision refers to the closeness of two or more measurements to each other. Example: If we measure weight four times and we get 60 kg each time. Then the measurement is very precise.

Accuracy refers to the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value. Example: If the weight of the body is 60 kg and one person measures 58 kg and another person measures 59 kg. Then, the weight measured by second person is more accurate.

Thus the closeness of a measurement to its true value is a measure of its accuracy
