Chemical energy sources are often portable and provide large amounts of energy. Fossil fuels are one kind of chemical energy sou

rce. Most of the energy we use in the United States is generated by the combustion of fossil fuels. However, fossil fuel combustion adds greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, mostly CO2. One measure of the total amount of greenhouse gases that are emitted into the atmosphere each year is called a carbon footprint. Study these images to compare the carbon footprint of an average person in the United States to an average person around the world.
Knowing that greenhouse gases are contributing to climate change, how can we reduce our carbon footprint, particularly in the United States? Could hydrogen fuel replace fossil fuels in the future? Why or why not? Should the size of a person’s carbon footprint be limited by law? Why or why not?

Light travels at a rate of 3.00 x 10^8 m/s. It takes light 8.30 min to travel from the surface of the sun to the earth. What is
bija089 [108]

Answer: The distance of the earth from the sun is 1.494\times 10^{11}m

Explanation:

Speed of light = 3.00\times 10 ^8 m/s

Time taken to travel from sun to earth = 8.30 mins = 8.3\times 60=498sec    (1min=60 s)

As we know ; Speed is defined as the distance travelled per unit time.

Distance=speed\times time

Hence distance between sun and earth =3.00\times 10^8m/s\times 498s=1.494\times 10^{11}m

Thus the distance of the earth from the sun is 1.494\times 10^{11}m

Hydrogen gas can be produced by reacting aluminum with sulfuric acid. how many moles of sulfuric acid are needed to completely r
g100num [7]
The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows
2Al + 3H₂SO₄ --> Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂
stoichiometry of Al to H₂SO₄ is 2:3
number of Al moles reacted - 15.0 mol 
if 2 mol of Al react with 3 mol of H₂SO₄
then 15.0 mol of Al reacts with - 3/2 x 15.0 mol = 22.5 mol 
22.5 mol of H₂SO₄ is required

Which of the following is an example of an insoluble substance being added to water?
Leni [432]

Answer:

Explanation: “Insoluble” generally means that a substance does not dissolve in water. Some examples include: sand, fats, wood, metals, and plastic. When we put them in water and try to mix them, they will not dissolve.

If 20.0g of CO2 and 4.4g of CO2
Ksivusya [100]

The given question is incorrect. The correct question is as follows.

If 20.0 g of O_{2} and 4.4 g of CO_{2}  are placed in a 5.00 L container at 21^{o}C, what is  the pressure of this mixture of gases?

Explanation:

As we know that number of moles equal to the mass of substance divided by its molar mass.

Mathematically,   No. of moles = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}}

Hence, we will calculate the moles of oxygen as follows.

       No. of moles = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}}

     Moles of O_{2} = \frac{20.0 g}{32 g/mol}

                            = 0.625 moles

Now,   moles of CO_{2} = \frac{4.4 g}{44 g/mol}

                                      = 0.1 moles

Therefore, total number of moles present are as follows.

Total moles = moles of O_{2} + moles of CO_{2}

                    = 0.625 + 0.1

                    = 0.725 moles

And, total temperature  will be:

                    T = (21 + 273) K = 294 K

According to ideal gas equation,  

                         PV = nRT

Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

                P = \frac{nRT}{V}

                   = \frac{0.725 mol \times 0.08206 Latm/mol K \times 294 K}{5.00 L}

                    = \frac{17.491089}{5} atm

                    = 3.498 atm

or,                = 3.50 atm (approx)

Therefore, we can conclude that the pressure of this mixture of gases is 3.50 atm.

How many neutrons and protons are there in the nuclei of the following atoms. a. Li-7 b. O-16 c. Th-232 d. Pu-239
ANEK [815]

Answer:

a.

P = 3 , N = 4

b.

P = 8 , N = 8

c.

P = 90 , N = 142

d.

P = 94 , N = 145

Explanation:

Mass number  = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Also,

Atomic number = Number of protons

<u>Li - 7</u>

Given, Mass number of Lithium = 7

For lithium, atomic number = 3

So,

Number of protons = 3

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 7 - 3 = 4

<u>O - 16</u>

Given, Mass number of oxygen = 16

For oxygen, atomic number = 8

So,

Number of protons = 8

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 16 - 8 = 8

<u>Th - 232</u>

Given, Mass number of Thorium = 232

For Thorium, atomic number = 90

So,

Number of protons = 90

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 232 - 90 = 142

<u>Pu - 239</u>

Given, Mass number of Plutonium = 239

For Plutonium, atomic number = 94

So,

Number of protons = 94

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 239 - 94 = 145
