SAC 1 Flashcards
renewable fuels
- are produced faster than used
adv - reduced CO2 emissions, can be made from organic waste
dis - lower energy content, requires land for production
non-renewable fuels
- are used faster than produced
adv - cheap, high energy content and efficiency
dis - high CO2 emissions, heavy pollutants, leaks can cause explosions
fermentation equation
C6H12O6(aq)————->2C2H5OH(aq)+2CO2(g)
complete combustion
produces CO2 and H2O
incomplete combustion
- limited oxygen
produces CO/C and H2O
exothermic
- negative △H value
- released
- high to low
endothermic
- positive △H value
- absorbed
- low to high
glucose equation
6CO2(g)+6H2O(l)———>C6H12O6(aq)+6O2(g)
cellular respiration equation
C6H12O6(aq)+6O2(g)——->6CO2(g)+6H2O(l)
% efficiency

density and mass equation
density = mass ➗ volume
mass = density x volume
graph (example)
x axis = various fuels
y axis = energy (kJg-1) (enthalpy)
energy in MJ, released by complete combustion of 1.00L of fuel
- m=dxv x 1000 = no° in g
- heat of combustion no° x no° of mols ➗ 1000
- answer
(to get mols no° use mass(g) ➗ molar mass
mass of (CO2) in grams produced by complete combustion of 1.00L of fuel
- ratio CO2 and ratio of 1st reactant
- multiply ratio no° of CO2 by mols of 1st reactant
- gives us CO2 no°of mols
- use m=nxM
- answer
