Answer:

Because burning a non-renewable resource that is not good for the atmosphere, will always cause some kind of chemical reaction to happen.

Examples of these reactions are...

Acid rain, a very dangerous disaster.
Global warming.
Carbon increases.

When fossil fuels are burned, they release large amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the air. Greenhouse gases trap heat in our atmosphere, causing global warming. Already the average global temperature has increased by 1C

You are given a solution of HCOOH (formic acid) with an approximate concentration of 0.20 M and you will titrate this with a 0.1

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{36 mL}}$

Explanation:

1. Write the balanced chemical equation.

$\rm HCOOH + NaOH $ \longrightarrow$ HCOONa + H$_{2}$O$

2. Calculate the moles of HCOOH

$\text{Moles of HCOOH} =\text{20.00 mL HCOOH } \times \dfrac{\text{0.20 mmol HCOOHl}}{\text{1 mL HCOOH}} = \text{4.00 mmol HCOOH}$

3. Calculate the moles of NaOH.

$\text{Moles of NaOH = 4.00 mmol HCOOH } \times \dfrac{\text{1 mmol NaOH} }{\text{1 mmol HCOOH}} = \text{4.00 mmol NaOH}$

4. Calculate the volume of NaOH

$c = \text{4.00 mmol NaOH } \times \dfrac{\text{1 mL NaOH }}{\text{0.1105 mmol NaOH }} = \textbf{36 mL NaOH }\\\\\text{The titration will require }\boxed{\textbf{36 mL of NaOH}}$

On a graph, which type of line shows a direct proportion? A. upwardly curved line B. downwardly curved line C. straight line D.j

siniylev [52]

A straight line shows a direct proportion because each x-value has one y-value, and there is a correlation between the two values, not just random placement. Hope this helps! :)

The gas in an aerosol container is at a pressure of 3.50 atm at 24.0C. The caution on the container warns against storing it at

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

4.34atm

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

P1 = 3.50 atm

T1 = 24°C = 24 +273 = 297K

T2 = 95°C = 368K

P2 =?

Using P1 /T1 = P2 /T2, we can obtain the new pressure as follows:

P1 /T1 = P2 /T2

3.5 / 297 = P2 / 368

Cross multiply to express in linear form:

297 x P2 = 3.5 x 368

Divide both side by the 297

P2 = (3.5 x 368) /297

P2 = 4.34atm

Therefore, the gas pressure in the container at 95°C will be 4.34atm

What is the empirical formula of a molecule containing 65.5% carbon, 5.5% hydrogen, and 29.0% oxygen?

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The empirical formula is C3H3O

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Suppose the mass of the molecule = 100 grams

The molecule contains:

65.5 % Carbon = 65.5 grams

5.5 % Hydrogen = 5.5 grams

29.0% Oxygen = 29.0 grams

Molar mass of C = 12 g/mol

Molar mass of H = 1.01 g/mol

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles C = 65.5 grams / 12 g/mol = 5.46 moles

Moles H = 5.5 / 1.01 g/mol = 5.45 moles

Moles O = 29.0 grams / 16 g/mol = 1.8125 moles

Step 3: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

C: 5.46 / 1.8125 = 3

H = 5.45 / 1.8125 = 3

O = 1.8125/1.8125 = 1

The empirical formula is C3H3O

How can you separate talc from water?

butalik [34]

Well to separate talc from water you can use the method of Filtration

and if you don't know what Filtration is go to a dictionary for chemistry/Science

or if you you have one then you could use it .

[hope this helps]
