Fossil fuels like the substance sulfur dioxide products are burnt to heat water under pressure , making them steam. This high pressure steam is used to spin the turbine generators which make electricity although this method is not really used anymore now. 5.) What are the potential hazards for using this resource? The potential hazards for using sulfur dioxide is it can affect our environment, plants, animals, the air that we breathe, our water resources and our planet.
Simple and Fractional Distillation of Cyclohexane and Toluene Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to become familiar with the processes of simple and fractional distillation. In this experiment a mixture of two volatile compounds, cyclohexane and toluene, were separated with the process of distillation. Distillation relies on each compound having distinct and separate boiling points. The pure products were analyzed with gas chromatography to determine the success of the distillation. Introduction: Distillation is the process of heating a liquid until it boils, then condensing and collecting the resulting hot vapors.
The study of specific heat falls under the category of Thermochemistry which is further divided into the category of Calorimetry. An instrument called a calorimeter is used to measure specific heat. A piece of metal is placed in a container of water. This is then boiled. The piece of metal is then taken out of the boiling water and placed in a calorimeter which contains room temperature water.
When the fuels combust, oxygen and fuels react, and heat released. The water then absorbed the heat from the combustion. In this experiment the calorimeter of energy is used to measure the temperature of the heat that is released from the cashew. The equation to find the energy produce during
4. Howell iron works purchased came with a furnace which was named Howell Iron works then traditionally pig iron would be worked into wrought iron in finery forges and later putting the furnaces more recently into steel. In these processes, pig Iron is melted and a strong current of air is directed over it while it is being stirred or agitated. This cause the dissolved impurities to be thoroughly oxidized. An intermediate known as refined iron, refined metal, and refined iron.
Name: 6.03: Calorimetry Data and Observations: Part I: Insert a complete data table, including appropriate significant figures and units, in the space below. Also include any observations that you made over the course of part I. (4 points) I observed that when the metal is placed inside the calorimeter, it transfers heat to the water making the water increase temperature while the metal will decrease temperature. I also noticed that the system was the metal and the surroundings is the water, this is because the water is taking in the heat from the metal making the water warm. Metal Name Mass of Metal Volume of water Initial temp.
C1.4.3 Hydrocarbon fuels Additional guidance: a) Most fuels, including coal, contain carbon and/or hydrogen and may also contain some sulfur. The gases released into the atmosphere when a fuel burns may include carbon dioxide, water (vapour), carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen. Solid particles (particulates) may also be released. Candidates should be able to relate products of combustion to the elements present in compounds in the fuel and to the extent of combustion (whether complete or partial). No details of how the oxides of nitrogen are formed are required, other than the fact that they are formed at high temperatures.
Water is used in photosynthesis by plants, which produce oxygen - this reaction is vital for the earth as the oxygen produced is used by humans to breath Water is used in coal powered electricity stations. The coal is burned which boils the water. The water becomes steam, which turns the turbine, activating the generator, then producing the electricity. Because water can also exist as a vapor it can be stored into the atmosphere and be delivered as rain across the planet. Water makes up 90% of the earth’s atmosphere and the other 20% is land Our bodies are about 60 percent water [source: Mayo Clinic].
Fully simplify the expression, tanx1+ tan2x . Use the knowledge that sin x= -35 and π2≤x ≤ 3π2 to express your simplified expression as an exact answer in fraction form. 4 Heat loss from electric hot water systems is an environmental issue. It is recognised that the heat loss from a closed, full hot water tank is proportional to the surface area of the tank. Determine the ratio of the heat loss from a 1m3 cylindrical tank of optimum dimensions (that is, the dimensions of the cylindrical tank for which the heat loss is a minimum) to the heat loss from a cubic tank with the same volume.
Energy can be converted to useful forms by various means. Energy and its conversion between forms can be expressed quantitatively. When converting energy, a significant fraction of that energy can be lost from the system (in the form of heat, sound, vibration, etc.) For example: in a power plant burning coal will produce heat energy, heat energy transfers to the water causing water to turn into steam, steam moves the turbine due to pressure, energy has now transferred from heat to mechanical energy, then mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy by the generators, here we have a good example of energy converted to another form. Define what we mean by fossil fuels and explain why there an attractive source of energy.
