What is the chemical equations for the different forms of coal ?
Q. Hi im doing an assignment and i need to know the chemical equations for the different forms of coal, and the balanced equations when they have been burnt. So i need to know the equations for Peat, Lignite, Sub-Bituminous coal and Bituminous coal.
Asked by robertbeare - Sun Oct 19 08:53:05 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Peat, lignite, sub-bituminous and bituminous are the different forms of coals. These have different percentage of carbon contents. Components other than carbon are present in different amounts. Exact chemical composition of these varieties is also uncertain. All these are not pure single chemical so a chemical formula can not be assigned. These represent complex mixtures of compounds having uncertain composition. Their age (since these started forming in nature) is also different. There cannot be a precise balanced equation for the process of burning. At best it can be represented as Coal + air (oxygen) ---> CO2 + CO + C + ash +...+ ...

A. Ah man, it's staring you in the face. Make a star of David. Two cones that share the same axis but one grows positive and the other grows neg. Then split it with a plane for your conics (or look at it normal to a plane) That should get you going w/o the need for me to explicitly give you the equations. Obviously you'll have a 60 included angle in the point of your cone and they'll intersect.

A. Optics - is the branch of physics dealing with light. More specificially visible light. Optics is further divided into 2 sub-sections: Geometrical Optics, and Physical Optics. Geometrical Optics is all about how light reflect or bends due to Mirrors Lenses and Prisms. How light travels in a straight line, until it changes media (with different refractive index) The equations are: i = r and n1sini = n2sinr <---Snell's law n1= refractive index of media 1 (from) n2 = refractive index of media 2 (to) i = angle of incidence r = angle of reflection/refraction. (all angles are measured from the beam to the NORMAL to the surface). Physical Optics - deals with the way light 'bends' around edges or corners. It deals more with the wave… [cont.]

A. Its pretty simple, but can be tricky at first. You just have to balance the number of atoms on both sides of the equation ...Reactants ---> Products. For example. H + OH ---> H20. This is very simple example... but see tehre's 2 H's on the reactant hand side and 2 H's on the product side. Same with Oxygen. This equation is balanced. Now lets say it doesnt match up..im making this one up btw. Li + Al ---> LiAl4 The reactants only has 1 Al ...and the right has 4 Al's, so to balance you need to put: Li + 4Al ---> LiAl4 ..balanced. I'm gonan extend it.. now lets say you have something like this..

A. Forgive me, but this is a far-fetched question. It doesn't realte much to life per se, but it does relate a lot to mathematics. This is one of Pell's equations, but I think you need to leave the integer n in it, x^2 - n y^2 = 1, where n is nonsquare. If n = 1, then there is only one solution, x = 1, y = 0, which is not particularly interesting or useful. If n is included, then this becomes a useful way to approximate a square root by a rational number.

Asked by ABC X - Sun Jun 24 09:46:02 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. More or less the same thing. A model is a series of equations that describes the behavior of a physical object in response to real world forces. I believe that the term "model" is used because the equations used are assumed to be a simplification that only includes effects that are assumed to be significant. Sometimes trivial forces are not so trivial after all, and a bridge collapses because the equation was not precise enough. --- A mathematical model is an abstract model that uses mathematical language to describe the behavior of a system.

How do you write an equation for a circle as the union of two equations?

A. x^2 + y^2 - 3x + 5y - 11 = 0 Combine the x and y terms, and complete the squares: (x^2 - 3x) + (y^2 + 5y) - 11 = 0 (x^2 - 3x + 9/4) + (y^2 + 5y + 25/4) - 11 - 9/4 - 25/4 = 0 (x - 3/2)^2 + (y + 5/2)^2 - 39/2 = 0 (x - 3/2)^2 + (y + 5/2)^2 = 39/2 (This is the equation of both halves of the circle. To break this into two equations, solve for y: (y + 5/2)^2 = 39/2 - (x - 3/2)^2 (y + 5/2) = +/- sqrt(39/2 - (x - 3/2)^2) y = -5/2 +/- sqrt(39/2 - (x - 3/2)^2) The two equations would be: y = -5/2 + sqrt(39/2 - (x - 3/2)^2) y = -5/2 - sqrt(39/2 - (x - 3/2)^2)

A. 1.) The graph of a system of equation can result in 3 possible scenarios: a.) A point if the two lines intersect. b.)If the 2 lines are parallel, then the 2 lines never intersect or have a solution. c.) If the 2 systems of equation represent the same line, then the will have infinitely many solutions. Graphing a system of inequalities gives you shaded areas where the solutions are. For example, the solution to an inequality can be above the line if it is greater than or below the line if it is less than. If you have several inequalities to graph, then you must make sure all the shaded regions make each of the inequalities true. 2.)
