The main component of natural gas is methane (CH4) at 60 to 90% followed by various combination of ethane, propane, and butane whose percentage can vary from 0 to 20% each. For each unit mass of alkanes, the combustion energy (energy released when the fuel reacts with oxygen) released is very high about 13 to 15 kcal/g, which is higher than even those generated by petrol or diesel. So, for heating or other energy generation purpose for household purposes, this source of energy is used.

The equation for combustion of methane is shown below. Upon combustion, carbondioxide and water is produced with simultaneous generation of heat which is the source of energy used for consumption.

CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2+ 2H2O + heat [ For methane, the combustion energy is ~ 6kcal/g]

As the CH2 units are increased in the alkanes, the combustion energy increases, for e.g., ethane has combustion energy of 7 kcal/g and propane has about 12 kcal/g.

Explanation:

Answer from: Quest

when 25.0 ml of 0.700 mol/l naoh was mixed in a calorimeter with 25.0 ml of 0.700 mol/l hcl, both initially at 20.0 °c, the temperature increased to 22.1 °c. the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 279 j/°c.

the equation for the reaction is:

naoh + hcl → nacl + h₂o

moles of hcl = 0.0250 l hcl ×

0.700

mol hcl

1 l hcl = 0.0175 mol hcl

volume of solution = (25.0 + 25.0) ml = 50.0 ml

mass of solution = 50.0 ml soln ×

1.00

ml soln

= 50.0 g soln

δt=t2-t1

= (22.1 – 20.0) °c = 2.1 °c

the heats involved are

heat from neutralization + heat to warm solution + heat to warm calorimeter = 0

q1+q2+q3=0

nδh+mcδt+cδt=0

0.0175 mol ×

δh

+ 50.0 g × 4.184 j·g⁻¹°c⁻¹ × 2.1 °c + 279 j°c⁻¹ × 2.1 °c = 0

0.0175 mol ×

δh

+ 439.32 j + 585.9 j = 0

0.0175 mol ×

δh

= -1025.22 j

δh=1025.22j0.0175 mol= -58 600 j/mol = -58.6 kj/mol

What is the relationship between wind and ocean waves? question 17 options: wind moving at higher speeds will transfer more energy to the water, resulting in stronger waves. wind moving at higher speeds will transfer energy over a larger part of the ocean water, resulting in waves with a shorter wavelength. winds moving at higher speeds with cause water to move forward at faster rates, causing larger ocean waves. winds moving at higher speeds will affect deeper water, resulting in waves that move at a faster rate. how do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents? question 15 options: as temperatures and salinity levels of water increase, the water rises to the surface where it creates currents as it moves to colder regions. they create changes in wind direction, moving denser water in the same direction as the wind and causing the deepwater circulation patterns found in the ocean. they equalize the forces on undersea currents caused by the coriolis effect as they replace more dense water with less dense water. they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.
