firstly..
Fossil fuels may be used as fuels for combustion engines or to manufacture ethylene by fractional distillation and "cracking". Therefore it can be tranformed into many useful industrial and commercial products.
Biomass, for example, cellulose... a main consituent of biomass,
can be converted into ethanol to be used as a fuel in combustion engines and which can be further processed to derive ethylene. Cellulose is broken down by bacteria to it's constituent glucose molecules, which can be fermented to ethanol and used as a fuel. Ethanol can be prodused by alkanes in the petrochemcial industry by first deriving ethylene from petroleum, which is then dehydrated to ethanol. From biomass, Ethanol can be dehydrated to ethylene.
Using biomass as an alternative to fossil fuels is much more eco and envir friendly.
not sure if i structured that right?!?
ok
what are the factors which may effect a chemical system at equilibrium and what processes occur to restore the equilibrium for each of the imposed changes?? :rofl:
