Explain how it is related to the efficiency of a fuel. The calorific value of a fuel is the amount of energy released per kg of the fuel burned in the air. The efficiency of a fuel is measured oa using its calorific value. The fuel with a higher calorific value is more — efficient as it produces more heat energy. f, Question 1.5 on SB 4 1.5 Answer the question below based on the information given in the table, “O- which shows the calorific values of different fuels in standard units.

Fossil fuels are the energy sources that are obtained from the remains of plants and animals that have been Preserved in rocks for millions of years, Thesé fuels are considered exhaustible resources because § they are finite in supply and will eventually run out on excessive use. - aa nd = oe * 2a ‘ a oe i * Question 2.2 on SB 6 2.2 Explain the process of formation of coal. The process of coal formation started over 300 million years ago, when the earth had many thick forests in low-lying wetlands. Natural disasters such as floods covered these forests with soil. As more and more soil piled up on top of the dead forests, it increased the pressure on and the temperature of the buried vegetation. The high pressure and temperature slowly transformed the dead vegetation into coal over time. Cae Question 2.3 on SB 6 2.3 Explain why the process of formation of coal is called carbonisation. The process of formation of coal is called carbonisation because, during this process, the dead vegetation is transformed into coal, which mainly consists of carbon. Question 2.5 on SB 6 2.5 Explain how fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum are extracted. Coal is formed over millions of years from dead vegetation buried under layers of soil at high temperatures and pressure. These layers of soil are drilled through to extract coal via the process of coal mining. Petroleum is formed over millions of years from marine organisms buried under layers of sand and silt at high temperatures and pressure. Drilling rigs are used to extract petroleum by drilling through sand, silt, and rocks beneath the ocean.

Describe the steps involved in the fractional distillation of petroleum. Fractional distillation is a process used to separate a mixture of different liquids with different boiling points. The steps involved in the fractional distillation of petroleum are listed below. 1. Crude oil is heated in a furnace at a temperature of about 400°C to evaporate into vapour. 2. This vapour enters the fractionating column and rises through it. (Continued .. .) Question 4.1 on SB 13 4.1 What is fractional distillation? Describe the steps involved in the fractional distillation of petroleum. 3. As the vapour rises, it cools down and condenses at different temperatures on the trays. Fractions with higher boiling points are collected from lower levels in the column, and fractions with lower boiling points are collected from upper levels of the column. emustry ~ Chapter 3 Question 4.3 on SB 13 4.3 How can you separate a liquid mixture that contains the components © X, Y, and Z with boiling points of 40°C, 50°C, and 65°C, respectively? Fractional distillation can be used to separate a liquid mixture of X, Y, and Z with boiling points of 40°C, 50°C, and 65°C, respectively. In fractional distillation, the mixture is first heated in afurnaceto evaporate into vapour, which enters a fractionating column.

Question 4.3 on SB 13 4.3 How can you separate a liquid mixture that contains the components ©) X, Y, and Z with boiling points of 40°C, 50°C, and 65°C, respectively? The fraction (Component Z) with a higher boiling point (65°C) condenses on a tray in the lower levels of the column, whereas the fraction (Component X) with a lower boiling point (40°C) condenses on a tray in the upper levels of the column. The fraction (Component Y) with an intermediate boiling point (50°C) condenses on a tray in the middle of the column. These fractions are then collected from the trays. 7 Cy | Question 4.4 on SB 13 4.4 Explain why natural gas is considered a cleaner fuel. Natural gas is considered a cleaner fuel because it produces fewer pollutants and greenhouse gases when burned. Question 4.5 on SB 13 4.5 List two uses of natural gas.

It is important for us to reduce our consumption of fossil fuels due to the following reasons: Fossil fuels are exhaustible resources and will not last forever. The burning of fossil fuels emits greenhouse gases, which cause climate change and global warming. Pollutants released by the burning of fossil fuels can cause respiratory diseases, such as asthma and bronchitis. (This is a sample answer. Your an~~er may vary.) Class 8 ~ Chemistry ~ Chapter 3 Question 5.2 on SB 15 5.2 Nisha wrote an essay on the oil and petroleum industries. In her essay, she recommended dumping the crude oil generated by industries in rivers or oceans. Do you agree with Nisha? Justify your answer. | do not agree with Nisha because dumping the crude oil generated by industries in rivers or oceans can harm marine life and other organisms.

Additional Question 6.1 on SB 17 6.1 Differentiate between solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels and provide an Solid Fuels Liquid Fuels Gaseous Fuels These fuels are present in a solid state at room temperature. These fuels are present in a liquid state at room temperature. These fuels are present in a gaseous state at room temperature. Example: wood Example: petrol Example: liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) | Additional Question 6.2 on SB 17 6.2 The calorific values of two fuels are 4,000 kJ/kg and 5,000 kJ/kg. Based on their calorific values, which of them is more efficient and why? The fuel with a higher calorific value, which is 5,000 kd/kg, is more efficient as it produces more heat energy. Additional Question 6.3 on SB 17 6.3 A gas burns spontaneously in the air. Why is it not considered an “Qo. ideal fuel? A gas that burns spontaneously in the air is not considered an ideal fuel because it can be dangerous to handle and store. Such a gas can also burn too quickly, making it difficult to control its combustion process, which can lead to accidents or inefficient use of the fuel. Additional Question 6.7 on SB 17 6.7 Can we use crude oil or petroleum directly as a fuel? Justify your answer. Crude oil or petroleum cannot be used directly as a fuel because it is a complex mixture of various fractions that need to be refined before they can be used as fuels. resources. Additional Question 6.8 on SB 17 6.8 Differentiate between exhaustible resources and inexhaustible Exhaustible Resources Inexhaustible Resources Exhaustible resources are those resources that are finite ~~. | in supply and will eventually run out On excessive use. |Inexhaustible resources are those resources that are infinite in supply and will not deplete even when used excessively. Examples: coal and natural gas Examples: wind and water Additional Question 6.9 on SB 17 6.9 Reducing the use of plastic can help conserve fossil fuels. Explain. . Reducing the use of plastic can help conserve fossil fuels because plastic is a petrochemical, i.e. it is made from petroleum and natural gas. Reducing the use of plastic can reduce the demand for petroleum and natural gas and, hence, help converse fossil fuels. Additional Question 6.10 on SB 17 6.10 What is solar energy?
