Real-World Reading Link Have you ever watched a candle burning? You might have watched the candle burn out as the last of the wax was used up. Review Vocabulary Or, maybe you used a candle snuffer to put out the flame. Either way, when the reactant: the starting substance in a candle stopped burning, the combustion reaction ended. chemical reaction Particle and Mole Relationships New Vocabulary In doing the Launch Lab, were you surprised when the purple color of stoichiometry potassium permanganate disappeared as you added sodium hydrogen mole ratio sulfite? If you concluded that the potassium permanganate had been used up and the reaction had stopped, you are right. Chemical reactions stop when one of the reactants is used up. When planning the reaction of potassium permanganate and sodium hydrogen sulfite, a chemist might ask, “How many grams of potassium permanganate are needed to react completely with a known mass of sodium hydrogen sulfite?” Or, when analyzing a photosynthesis reaction, you might ask, “How much oxygen and carbon dioxide are needed to form a known mass of sugar.” Stoichiometry is the tool for answering these questions. Stoichiometry The study of quantitative relationships between the amounts of reactants used and amounts of products formed by a chemi- cal reaction is called stoichiometry. Stoichiometry is based on the law of conservation of mass. Recall from Chapter 3 that the law states that matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. In any chemical reaction, the amount of matter present at the end of the reac- tion is the same as the amount of matter present at the beginning. Therefore, the mass of the reactants equals the mass of the products. Note the reaction of powdered iron (Fe) with oxygen ( O2 ) shown in Figure 11.1. Although iron reacts with oxygen to form a new com- pound, iron(III) oxide (F e2 O 3 ), the total mass is unchanged. ■ Figure 11.1 The balanced chemi- cal equation for this reaction between iron and oxygen provides the relation- ships between amounts of reactants and products. 368 Chapter 11 • Stoichiometry ©Charles D.

Remember that coeffi- cients in an equation represent not only numbers of individual particles but also numbers of moles of particles. Therefore, you can also say that four moles of iron react with three moles of oxygen to produce two moles of iron(III) oxide. The chemical equation does not directly tell you anything about the VOCABULARY masses of the reactants and products. However, by converting the WORD ORIGIN known mole quantities to mass, the mass relationships become obvious. Stoichiometry Recall that moles are converted to mass by multiplying by the molar comes from the Greek words mass. The masses of the reactants are as follows. stoikheion, which means element, and metron, which means to 55.85 g Fe 4 mol Fe × _ = 223.4 g Fe measure 1 mol Fe 32.00 g O _2 3 mol O 2 × = 96.00 g O 2 1 mol O2 The total mass of the reactants is: (223.4 g + 96.00 g) = 319.4 g Similarly, the mass of the product is calculated as follows: 159.7 g F e O __2 3 2 mol F e 2 O 3 × = 319.4 g 1 mol F e2 O 3 Note that the mass of the reactants equals the mass of the product. mass of reactants = mass of products 319.4 g = 319.4 g As predicted by the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of the reactants equals the mass of the product. The relationships that can be determined from a balanced chemical equation are summarized in Table 11.1. Reading Check List the types of relationships that can be derived from the coefficients in a balanced chemical equation.

For example, virtually all the chemistry that makes life possible occurs in an aqueous environment. Also, various medical tests involve aqueous reactions, depending heavily on analyses of blood and other body fluids. In addition to the common tests for sugar, cholesterol, and iron, analyses for specific chemical markers allow detection of many diseases before obvious symptoms occur. Aqueous chemistry is also important in our environment. In recent years, contami- nation of the groundwater by substances such as chloroform and nitrates has been widely publicized. Water is essential for life, and the maintenance of an ample supply of clean water is crucial to all civilization. To understand the chemistry that occurs in such diverse places as the human body, the atmosphere, the groundwater, the oceans, the local water treatment plant, your hair as you shampoo it, and so on, we must understand how substances dissolved in water react with each other.

Lionel-Boulet, Varennes J3X 1S1, Canada; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (E.R.); [email protected] (K.Z.) Received: 18 April 2019; Accepted: 11 June 2019; Published: 19 June 2019 Abstract: Numerous reviews on hydrogen storage have previously been published. However, most of these reviews deal either exclusively with storage materials or the global hydrogen economy. This paper presents a review of hydrogen storage systems that are relevant for mobility applications. The ideal storage medium should allow high volumetric and gravimetric energy densities, quick uptake and release of fuel, operation at room temperatures and atmospheric pressure, safe use, and balanced cost-effectiveness. All current hydrogen storage technologies have significant drawbacks, including complex thermal management systems, boil-off, poor efficiency, expensive catalysts, stability issues, slow response rates, high operating pressures, low energy densities, and risks of violent and uncontrolled spontaneous reactions. While not perfect, the current leading industry standard of compressed hydrogen offers a functional solution and demonstrates a storage option for mobility compared to other technologies. Keywords: hydrogen mobility; hydrogen storage; storage systems assessment; Kubas-type hydrogen storage; hydrogen economy 1. Introduction According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), it is almost certain that the unusually fast global warming is a direct result of human activity [1]. The resulting climate change is linked to significant environmental impacts that are connected to the disappearance of animal species [2,3], decreased agricultural yield [4–6], increasingly frequent extreme weather events [7,8], human migration [9–11], and conflicts [12–14].

    Review Comparison of Hydrogen Powertrains with the Battery Powered Electric Vehicle and Investigation of Small-Scale Local Hydrogen Production Using Renewable Energy Michael Handwerker 1,2,*, Jörg Wellnitz 1,2 and Hormoz Marzbani 2 1 Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Applied Sciences Ingolstadt, Esplanade 10, 85049 Ingolstadt, Germany; [email protected] 2 Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, School of Engineering, Plenty Road, Bundoora, VIC 3083, Australia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Climate change is one of the major problems that people face in this century, with fossil fuel combustion engines being huge contributors. Currently, the battery powered electric vehicle is considered the predecessor, while hydrogen vehicles only have an insignificant market share. To evaluate if this is justified, different hydrogen power train technologies are analyzed and compared to the battery powered electric vehicle. Even though most research focuses on the hydrogen fuel cells, it is shown that, despite the lower efficiency, the often-neglected hydrogen combustion engine could be the right solution for transitioning away from fossil fuels. This is mainly due to the lower costs and possibility of the use of existing manufacturing infrastructure. To achieve a similar level of refueling comfort as with the battery powered electric vehicle, the economic and technological aspects of the local small-scale hydrogen production are being investigated. Due to the low efficiency Citation: Handwerker, M.; Wellnitz, and high prices for the required components, this domestically produced hydrogen cannot compete J.; Marzbani, H.

  • Energy and the Hydrogen Economy
    Energy and the Hydrogen Economy Ulf Bossel Fuel Cell Consultant Morgenacherstrasse 2F CH-5452 Oberrohrdorf / Switzerland +41-56-496-7292 and Baldur Eliasson ABB Switzerland Ltd. Corporate Research CH-5405 Baden-Dättwil / Switzerland Abstract Between production and use any commercial product is subject to the following processes: packaging, transportation, storage and transfer. The same is true for hydrogen in a “Hydrogen Economy”. Hydrogen has to be packaged by compression or liquefaction, it has to be transported by surface vehicles or pipelines, it has to be stored and transferred. Generated by electrolysis or chemistry, the fuel gas has to go through theses market procedures before it can be used by the customer, even if it is produced locally at filling stations. As there are no environmental or energetic advantages in producing hydrogen from natural gas or other hydrocarbons, we do not consider this option, although hydrogen can be chemically synthesized at relative low cost. In the past, hydrogen production and hydrogen use have been addressed by many, assuming that hydrogen gas is just another gaseous energy carrier and that it can be handled much like natural gas in today’s energy economy. With this study we present an analysis of the energy required to operate a pure hydrogen economy. High-grade electricity from renewable or nuclear sources is needed not only to generate hydrogen, but also for all other essential steps of a hydrogen economy. But because of the molecular structure of hydrogen, a hydrogen infrastructure is much more energy-intensive than a natural gas economy. In this study, the energy consumed by each stage is related to the energy content (higher heating value HHV) of the delivered hydrogen itself.

ABSTRACT An inexpensive hydrogen injection system was designed, constructed and tested in the Mechanical Engineering (ME) laboratory. It was used to supply hydrogen to a gasoline engine to run the engine in varying proportions of hydrogen and gasoline. A factory-built injection and control system, based on the injection technology from the racing industry, was used to inject gaseous hydrogen into a gasoline engine to boost the efficiency and reduce the amount of pollutants in the exhaust.
