What is the overall energy transformation in a coal-fired power plant?.

Chemistry
1 answer:
polet [3.4K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer: When coal is burned, chemical potential energy is transformed into thermal energy, light energy, and sound energy. Only the thermal energy is used for electricity production. Light and sound energy dissipate into the environment, immediately reducing efficiency.

Hope this helps.

How does a substances temperature change when the average kinetic energy of its particles increases ? When the average kinetic e
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The temperature of a substance when the average kinetic energy of its particles increases and decreases when the average kinetic energy decreases.

Explanation:

Atoms and molecules are in constant motion. Kinetic energy is a form of energy, known as energy of motion. Kinetic energy is a form of energy, known as energy of motion. The kinetic energy of an object is that which is produced due to its movements, which depends on its mass (m) and speed (v).

Temperature refers to a quantity used to measure the kinetic energy of a system. That is, temperature is defined as an indicator of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a body.

So, since temperature is a measure of the speed with which they move, the higher the temperature the faster they move.

Finally, <u><em>the temperature of a substance when the average kinetic energy of its particles increases and decreases when the average kinetic energy decreases.</em></u>

which tool was mostly likely used in a procedure if the lab report shows that approximately 300 ml of water was used
DiKsa [7]

it is most likely a beaker, beacuse 300ml is quite a large volume. Otherwise, it would be a measuring cylinder or pippette

Two moles of magnesium (Mg) and five moles of oxygen (O2) are placed in a reaction vessel. When magnesium is ignited, it reacts
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{Mg is the limiting reactant}}

Explanation:

We are given the amounts of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.

We know that we will need moles, so, lets assemble the data in one place.

           2Mg + O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

n/mol:    2       5

Calculate the moles of MgO we can obtain from each reactant.

From Mg:  

The molar ratio of MgO:Mg is 2:2

\text{Moles of MgO} = \text{2 mol Mg} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol MgO}}{\text{2 mol Mg}} = \text{2 mol MgO}

From O₂:  

The molar ratio of MgO:O₂ is 2:1.

\text{Moles of MgO} = \text{5 mol O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol MgO}}{\text{1 mol O}_{2}} = \text{10 mol MgO}\\\\\boxed{\textbf{Mg is the limiting reactant}} \text{ because it gives the smaller amount of MgO}

Demonstrate your knowledge of waves.Describe the difference between mechanical and electromagnetic waves. Give an example of eac
4vir4ik [10]

There are some methods that differentiate waves; one thing is by its medium. Electromagnetic waves did not require a medium for transmission such as in a vacuum while mechanical waves require a medium to travel such as air, water or anything that can serve as a transmission aid.  

The most common sample of EM waves in telecommunication is radio, light and infra-red signals. An example of a mechanical wave is a sound wave, which requires air to travel. Oscillating molecules made the sound waves.
