States of Matter

The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).

Chemical Reactions and Equations

When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.

Suppose you are hired by the Environmental Protection Agency as an engineer to measure sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions in a small industrial power plant. And suppose you analyze a gas sample and get the following composition: 75.66% N2, 10.24% CO2, 8.27% H2O, 5.75% O2, and 0.0825% SO2. You show these figures to the factory clerk the next day, and he insists that this analysis is erroneous and states that the fuel is natural gas, contains methane and ethane and does not contain sulfur. You ask if another fuel is used, and sometimes they say they use fuel as fuel, but at the time of analysis they say that this fuel is not used. However, your measurements show that the enterprise is using fuel at the time of measurement, and the responsible person accepts this later and accepts that they have made mistakes.a) Calculate the molar ratio of carbon / hydrogen in the fuel and use the result to prove that the fuel cannot be natural gas.b) Assuming that C, H and S are the elements present in the…
