Which has not been suggested as a reasonably practical way to store large amounts of hydrogen in relatively small spaces for its

use as a fuel?
A. Liquefy hydrogen under pressure and store it much as we do with liquefied natural gas today.


B. Absorb hydrogen onto activated charcoal; then heat the mixture to release the hydrogen.


C. Store it in the form of ionic metal hydrides, such as LiH, which release hydrogen gas when they react with water.


D. Encapsulate hydrogen molecules in fullerene molecules (large, carbon-based molecules that can act like cages) that may be heated later to release the hydrogen.

Answer: A. Liquefy hydrogen under pressure and store it much as we do with liquefied natural gas today.

Explanation:

Current Hydrogen storage methods fall into one of two technologies;

  1. <em>physical storage</em> where compressed hydrogen gas is stored under pressure or as a liquid; and
  2. <em>chemical storage</em>, where the hydrogen is bonded with another material to form a hydride and released through a chemical reaction.

Physical storage solutions are commonly used technologies but are problematic when looking at using hydrogen to fuel vehicles. Compressed hydrogen gas needs to be stored under high pressure and  requires large and heavy tanks. Also, liquid hydrogen boils at -253°C (-423°F) so it needs to be stored cryogenically with heavy insulation and actually contains less hydrogen compared with the same volume of gasoline.  

Chemical storage methods allow hydrogen to be stored at much lower pressures and offer high storage performance due to the strong binding of hydrogen and the high storage densities. They also occupy relatively smaller spaces than either compressed hydrogen gas or liquified hydrogen. A large number of chemical storage systems are under investigation, which involve hydrolysis reactions, hydrogenation/dehydrogenation reactions, ammonia borane and other boron hydrides, ammonia, and alane etc.

Other practical storage methods being researched that focuses on storing hydrogen as a lightweight, compact energy carrier for mobile applications include;

  • Metal hydrides  e.g. LiH
  • Nanostructured metal hydrides
  • Non-metal hydrides
  • Carbohydrates
  • Synthesized hydrocarbons
  • Aluminum
  • Liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC)
  • Encapsulation , e.t.c.

You wish to extract an organic compound from an aqueous phase into an organic layer (three to six extractions on a marco scale).
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

It will be better to use solvents that are lighter than water, because their density has an influence on the miscibility . This will give you a better separation during extraction.

A 25.0 g sample of an alloy was heated to 100.0 oC and dropped into a beaker containing 90 grams of water at 25.32 oC. The tempe
elena55 [62]

Answer:

The specific heat of the alloy C_{a} = 0.37 \frac{KJ}{Kg K}

Explanation:

Mass of an alloy m_{a} = 25 gm

Initial temperature T_{a} = 100°c = 373 K

Mass of water m_{w} = 90 gm

Initial temperature of water T_{w} = 25.32 °c = 298.32 K

Final temperature T_{f} = 27.18 °c = 300.18 K

From energy balance equation

Heat lost by alloy = Heat gain by water

m_{a} C_{a}  [T_{a} - T_{f}] = m_{w} C_w (T_{f} -T_{w} )

25 × C_{a} × ( 373 - 300.18 ) = 90 × 4.2 (300.18 - 298.32)

C_{a} = 0.37 \frac{KJ}{Kg K}

This is the specific heat of the alloy.

Fluorine gas is placed in contact with calcium metal at high temperatures to produce calcium fluoride powder. What is the formul
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Upper F subscript 2 (g) plus upper C a (s) right arrow with delta above upper C a upper F subscript 2 (s).

Explanation:

This is a chemical reaction problem.

In expressing any chemical reaction, we need to understand that there are reactants and products.

  • The reactants are the species on the left hand side that are combining.
  • The products are the species on the right hand side that are formed.
  • Every chemical reaction is obeys the law of conservation of matter i.e equal number of matter on both sides.

Using the statement of this problem, we can deduce that;

 Reactants are Fluorine gas and Calcium metal

  Product is Calcium Fluoride

Note: A metal is a solid(s) and powder is a solid(s). A gas is denoted as (g). They depict the state of the species reacting.

                    F₂_{(g)}     +    Ca_{(s)}               →           CaF₂_{(s)}

We can see that equal number of atoms are on both sides of the expression.

Find the enthalpy of neutralization of HCl and NaOH. 87 cm3 of 1.6 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid was neutralized by 87 cm3 of 1.6 m
Vesna [10]

Answer : The correct option is, (A) -101.37 KJ

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of HCl and NaOH.

\text{Moles of HCl}=\text{Concentration of HCl}\times \text{Volume of solution}=1.6mole/L\times 0.087L=0.1392mole

\text{Moles of NaOH}=\text{Concentration of NaOH}\times \text{Volume of solution}=1.6mole/L\times 0.087L=0.1392mole

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O

From the balanced reaction we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of HCl neutralizes by 1 mole of NaOH

So, 0.1392 mole of HCl neutralizes by 0.1392 mole of NaOH

Thus, the number of neutralized moles = 0.1392 mole

Now we have to calculate the mass of water.

As we know that the density of water is 1 g/ml. So, the mass of water will be:

The volume of water = 87ml+87ml=174ml

\text{Mass of water}=\text{Density of water}\times \text{Volume of water}=1g/ml\times 174ml=174g

Now we have to calculate the heat absorbed during the reaction.

q=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

where,

q = heat absorbed = ?

c = specific heat of water = 4.18J/g^oC

m = mass of water = 174 g

T_{final} = final temperature of water = 317.4 K

T_{initial} = initial temperature of metal = 298 K

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

q=174g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (317.4-298)K

q=14110.008J=14.11KJ

Thus, the heat released during the neutralization = -14.11 KJ

Now we have to calculate the enthalpy of neutralization.

\Delta H=\frac{q}{n}

where,

\Delta H = enthalpy of neutralization = ?

q = heat released = -14.11 KJ

n = number of moles used in neutralization = 0.1392 mole

\Delta H=\frac{-14.11KJ}{0.1392mole}=-101.37KJ/mole

Therefore, the enthalpy of neutralization is, -101.37 KJ
