EXPLAIN WAYS OF CONVERTING CHEMICAL ENERGY INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY?

✅ Answers

? Best Answer

  • There are a number of ways that this can be done, including both direct and indirect methods. The most common way is actually an indirect method. This is how the very large majority of electricity is produced in the world. It is done by burning a chemical fuel to produce heat. The most common fuels are coal, oil, and natural gas (although anything that can be burned would work too). The heat from the burning is then used to heat a liquid, such as water, which is turned to steam. The pressure from the steam then spins a turbine, and it is the spinning turbine which actually makes the electricity. This is also how nuclear energy is used to make electricity: not directly, but by using the heat of nuclear fission reactions to heat water to spin a turbine. It is the spinning turbine that makes electricity by spinning a magnet inside a coil of copper wire.
  • “…electrochemistry. Here, chemicals are oxidized and reduced and the electrons involved in that reaction are passed through an external circuit. This is how batteries work. To do this, you need to match up two chemicals properly: one that will be oxidized, and one that will be reduced. The one that is oxidized will give up it’s electrons to the one that will be reduced, and those electrons being transfered create a current which can be used as electricity. If the chemicals are paired properly, this reaction will happen spontaneously, and electricity will be generated (if not paired correctly, then it will require electricity to drive the reaction). ”

    Many years ago, Kate and I developed a Stewardship Model for Tom’s of Maine in order to codify all of the natural, sustainable practices we were already following—such as only using natural ingredients and never testing on animals. The Stewardship Model sets out very specific standards for natural, sustainable, and responsible practices, and guides all of us every day in our decision making. Kate and I also feel that a commitment to sustainability should be incorporated into all areas of the company—not just the product formulations. Let me share just two examples: our packaging designer, Jack, purchases only post-consumer-waste recycled and recyclable materials and soy-based inks; and my Director of Product Supply, Mark, had some great ideas about using renewable energy sources, so in 26, we began purchasing wind energy credits to offset 1% of our factory’s electricity needs.275 ✅ Answers?

    Where do you find the most helpful information about natural products?

    240 ✅ Answers? Favorite AnswerMy grandmother's lap and company information, ingredients lists, store cupboard.The problem with so called 'natural products' is that they often are not natural at all. I have one motto when it comes to putting things on my body 'If I won't happily eat it, then I won't ever put it on my skin' When commercial 'natural products' live up to my standards, I will reconsider them. In the mean time, the items that I have in my food cupboard are about the best I can do. Better for me, much better for the environment and better for people who are exploited in the production of commercial 'natural products'. Tell a sweatshop worker in a developing country that natural organic cotton is good for his/her health, wealth, community and well being. Natural store cupboard ingredients are not perfect, but they are the best I can do for myself, others and the natural world. They are the best and simplest solutions and cheapest too. **************** Edited to Add *******************Where do I find the most helpful information about natural products I refuse to use BECAUSE there is no way I would eat this, why would I put it on Read more

    Is there a difference between wind and a crosswind?

    My bf asked me to post this. He works construction and they said there was a 33 mph crosswind, he was wondering what the term means. I thought maybe it means winds are coming from different directions? If anyone knows the answer - we would appreciate it. Thanks in advance!5 ✅ Answers? Favorite AnswerYes there is a difference.Wind is the flow of air or other gases that compose an atmosphere (including that of the planet Earth). A crosswind is any wind that is blowing perpendicular to a line of travel, or perpendicular to a direction. In aviation, a crosswind is the component of wind that is blowing across the runway making a landing more difficult than if the wind were blowing straight down the runway.Wind can be flatulence. Crosswind could be a real angry smelling one!Wind is wind movement of air headwind ,tailwind,crosswind are all directions of air travel for them to announce a crosswind they should have been speaking of a specific spot or location . Example( drive with caution north and south bound on I 35 between mile markers 1 and 130 due to very heavy crosswind of 33mph)2Crosswind is a component of wind. You have head wind, Read more

    To what extent are recycling industries sustainable?

    Im working on my extended essay and I would like to know to what extent are recycling industries (such as the paper industry, lead-acid car battery industries, etc) authentically sustainable. What are your arguments ¨for and against¨? thank you✅ Answers ? Best Answer All of them involve some new materials. Only a certain percentage of the paper can be made from recycled paper and the recycled paper is of degraded quality so it isn't sustainable as it always needs new mulch. Lead Acid batteries involve grinding down the plates and putting them in new plastic enclosures, some plates can't be ground down any more and are replaced with new plates and the old plates sent to a metal recycling shop. It still takes new material to recycle batteries so they aren't sustainable. What recycling does is stretch out the material, they aren't truly sustainable but they make the industry more sustainable or rather less un-sustainable. - Chosen by Asker They are sustainable because without them, the stuff would pollute the environment and ruin the ecosystems. like sea animals will die trying to eat plastic stuff. people can cut their feet on sharp cans and etc etc, and the chemical leached Read more
