1. If you turn on the burner on a gas stove under a pan of cold water, energy moves from the burner to the pan of water. What is this type of energy transfer called? 2. If you burn wood in a fireplace, which type of energy resource are you using? 3. Which form of energy is an important factor in making electricity from water power? 4. What is a hydrocarbon? 5. What byproduct of nuclear energy has caused concerns about the use of this resource and why? 6. What are two important fuels that comes out of the oil refining process? 7. Which chemical element exposed in surface coal mining can cause environmental problems in nearby bodies of water? 8. Why does natural gas need to be processed before it can be used as a fuel? 9. Since nuclear power is clean, why is it not used more extensively in the United States? 10. What is the original source of most energy used on Earth? 11. When we burn a fuel, what is released that allows work to be done? 12. For biomass, solar, coal, natural gas, oil, and geothermal energy, identify each energy resource as renewable or non- renewable. 13. What factors are important in judging how helpful an energy resource is to us?

A 32.75 g sample of a solid is placed in a flask. Toluene, in which the solid is insoluble, is added to the flask so that the total volume of solid and liquid together is 53.00 mL. The solid and toluene together weigh 58.54 g. The density of toluene at the temperature of the experiment is 0.864 g/mL. Part A What is the density of the solid? Express your answer in grams per milliliter to three significant figures. ? p = 25.93 g/mL

A chemist working as a safety inspector finds an unmarked bottle in a lab cabinet. A note on the door of the cabinet says the cabinet is used to store bottles of chloroform, ethanolamine, dimethyl sulfoxide, pentane, and carbon tetrachloride. The chemist plans to try to identify the unknown liquid by measuring the density and comparing to known densities. First, from his collection of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), the chemist finds the following information: liquid chloroform density 1.5 g cm 3 ethanolamine 1.0 g-cm dimethyl sulfoxide 1.1 g cm pentane 0.63 g-cm carbon tetrachloride 1.6 g-cm Next, the chemist measures the volume of the unknown liquid as 0.688 L and the mass of the unknown liquid as 543. g. Calculate the density of the liquid. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. Given the data above, is it possible to identify the liquid? If it is possible to identify the liquid, do so. gcn cm yes no chloroform ethanolamine dimethyl sulfoxide pentane carbon tetrachloride X 5…
