<span>There are pros and cons as to whether CCA-treated (pressure-treated) wood should be removed from existing structures, and both sides are subjective.
Some of the arguments for leaving it include:
*When burned, the wood can release dangerous, and sometimes, lethal fumes.
*If buried in a landfill, the chemicals can soak into the ground and eventually contaminate ground water.
*Removing it can expose people to arsenic
*It is costly to remove an existing infrastructure that may or may not be harming people
*Studies conducted within the past decade have determined structures containing CCA-treated wood pose no hazard
*Studies also concluded that children who played on CCA-treated playgrounds were exposed to arsenic levels lower than those that naturally occur in drinking water
Some of the arguments for removing it include:
*The EPA determined that some children could face higher cancer risks from exposure to CCA-treated wood
*If removed, it will need to be disposed of and, as discussed above, that creates another set of problems that could affect a community's health.
A possible solution is to leave existing CCA-treated wood in place but seek viable, safe alternatives for future structures.</span>
Answer:
The change in internal energy is - 1.19 kJ
Explanation:
<u>Step 1:</u> Data given
Heat released = 3.5 kJ
Volume calorimeter = 0.200 L
Heat release results in a 7.32 °C
Temperature rise for the next experiment = 2.49 °C
<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate Ccalorimeter
Qcal = ccal * ΔT ⇒ 3.50 kJ = Ccal *7.32 °C
Ccal = 3.50 kJ /7.32 °C = 0.478 kJ/°C
<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate energy released
Qcal = 0.478 kJ/°C *2.49 °C = 1.19 kJ
<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate change in internal energy
ΔU = Q + W W = 0 (no expansion)
Qreac = -Qcal = - 1.19 kJ
ΔU = - 1.19 kJ
The change in internal energy is - 1.19 kJ
