Burning wood to power engines and machines ushered in the Industrial Revolution in 1769.Coal became the major fuel in the early

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Natural gas combustion equation:

CH4 + O2 ==> CO2 + 2 H2O + HEAT

Octane or oil combustion equation:

2C8H18 + 25 O2 ===> 16CO2 + 18 H2O.

If these fuels were replaced by self-sustaining energy sources, the contamination of the environment would be less, since their combustion generates toxic compounds that damage the ozone layer, promoting the greenhouse effect, increasing the Earth's temperature and also promoting the increase in the passage of ultraviolet radiation.

Explanation:

The combustion reactions are exothermic, and irreversible, they can be complete and incomplete combustions.

They always consist of oxygen as a reagent and water and carbon dioxide as a product (complete), in the case of the incomplete the difference is that the products vary and there may be waste or chemical compounds that failed to burn.

two people start out 100 meters apart from each other and start moving towards each other at the same time. One person is moving

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

1.332 meters per second. // 2.664 meters per second.

Explanation:

the slower person moved 33.3 meters, and the faster person moved 66.6 meters.

the slower person is moving 33.3 meters in 25 seconds, while the other person is moving 66.6 meters in 25 seconds

slower person moved 33.3/25 = 1.332 meters per second.

faster person moved 66.6/25 = 2.664 meters per second.

lana [24]

Answer:

This addition reaction yields 3-BromoPentane and 2-BromoPentane.

Explanation: The reaction is an addition reaction that follows the Markonikoff's principle engaging the electrophillic addition mechnism with electrophile having no lone pair so rearrangement of carbonation is possible. It yields two possible products.

What is the pH of a mixture of 0.042 M NaH2PO4 and 0.058 M Na2HPO4? Hint: The pKa of phosphate is 6.86.

AlekseyPX

Answer:

The pH value of the mixture will be 7.00

Explanation:

Mono and disodium hydrogen phosphate mixture act as a buffer to maintain pH value around 7. Henderson–Hasselbalch equation is used to determine the pH value of a buffer mixture, which is mathematically expressed as,

$pH=pK_{a} + log(\frac{[Base]}{[Acid]})$

According to the given conditions, the equation will become as follow

$pH=pK_{a} + log(\frac{[Na_{2}HPO_{4} ]}{[NaH_{2}PO_{4}]})$

The base and acid are assigned by observing the pKa values of both the compounds; smaller value means more acidic. NaH₂PO₄ has a pKa value of 6.86, while Na₂HPO₄ has a pKa value of 12.32 (not given, but it's a constant). Another more easy way is to the count the acidic hydrogen in the molecular formula; the compound with more acidic hydrogens will be assigned acidic and vice versa.

Placing all the given data we obtain,

$pH=6.86 + log(\frac{0.058}{0.042})$

$pH=7.00$
