Describe the journey that a carbon atom inside a fossil fuel will take to become a carbon atom inside a plant

Chemistry
1 answer:
bixtya [17]3 years ago
4 0

When fossil fuels are burnt, CO2 is released into the air and is taken up by plants during photosynthesis to form glucose and subsequently starch.

Fossil fuels contain a large proportion of carbon atoms. When fossil fuels are burnt, these carbon atoms are released as carbon dioxide and escape to the atmosphere as atmospheric CO2 in air.

Recall that plants take up the CO2 in air during the process of photosynthesis. This CO2 becomes combined with water in the presence of sunlight to form glucose.

This glucose is converted to starch and stored in plant tissues. This is how the  carbon atom inside a fossil fuel  becomes a carbon atom inside a plant.

When 943 J of heat is added to 10 grams of oil at 28˚C , the temperature increases to 89˚C. What is the specific heat of the oil
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer: 1.55 Jg°C

Explanation:

The quantity of Heat Energy (Q) required to heat a substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Since,

Q = 943 joules

Mass of oil = 10g

C = ? (let unknown value be Z)

Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)

= 89°C - 28°C = 61°C

Then, Q = MCΦ

943 J = 10g x Z x 61°C

943J = 610g°C x Z

Z = (943J / 610g°C)

Z = 1.55 Jg°C

Thus, the specific heat of the oil is 1.55 Jg°C

(a) calculate %ic of the interatomic bonds for the intermetallic compound al6mn. (b) on the basis of this result what type of in
Tatiana [17]

The answer is:

a)0.25%

b) metallic bond

The explanation:

A) The percentage of ionic character in a compound having some covalent character can be calculated by the following equation. The percent ionic character = Observed dipole moment/Calculated dipole moment assuming 100% ionic bond × 100.

-The percent ionic character is a function of the electron negativities of the ions XA and XB .  The electronegativities for Al and Mn  are 1.5 and 1.6, respectively :

when %IC = [1-exp(-1/4) (XB-XA)^2].100

so, %IC =  [1  -  exp(- 0.25)(1.6- 1.5)^2] .  100 = 0.25%

 

(b) Because the percent ionic character is so small (0.25%) and this intermetallic compound is composed of two metals Al and Mn, the bonding is completely metallic.

Metallic bond:

• Metallic bonding can be either weak (68 kJ/mole or 0.7 eV/atom for Hg) or strong (850 kJ/mole or 8.8 eV/atom for W)

• Metallic bonding gives rise to high electrical and thermal conductivity.

-The electrons are loosely held since each atom has several unoccupied valence orbitals; it is relatively easy for the electrons to move about. In this manner the electrons allow atoms to slide past each other.

What is my control group in my experiment and why is it that?

Your control group would be the batteries since you CONTROL what brand you're using, for which one lasts the longest...aren't you suppose to figure that out when you do the experiment?
