When a hydrocarbon fuel is burned, almost all of the carbon in the fuel burns completely to form co2 (carbon dioxide), which is

the principal gas causing the greenhouse effect and thus global climate change. On average, 0.73 kg of co2 is produced for each kwh of electricity generated from a power plant that burns natural gas. A typical new household refrigerator uses about 700 kwh of electricity per year. Determine the amount of co2 production that is due to the refrigerators in a city with 300,000 households?

<h3>Answer:</h3>

               1.5 × 10⁸ Kg of CO₂ / Year

<h3>Solution:</h3>

According to statement,

                        1 kwh generation produces  =  0.73 Kg of CO₂

So,

              700 kwh generation will produce  =  X Kg of CO₂

Solving for X,

                      X =  (700 kwh × 0.73 Kg) ÷ 1 kwh

                       X =  511 Kg of CO₂ / Year

Also, as calculated,

                           1 household produces  =  511 Kg of CO₂ / Year

Then,

                 300,000 households will produce  =  X Kg of CO₂ per Year

Solving for X,

                     X =  (300000 households × 511 Kg) ÷ 1 household

                    X =  153300000 Kg of CO₂ / Year

Or,

                    X  = 1.5 × 10⁸ Kg of CO₂ / Year

Which equation is set up correctly to determine the volume of a 1.5 mole sample of oxygen gas at 22°C and 100 kPa?
LenKa [72]

The volume could be calculated by using  <span>V = n RT / P </span>

In which V = Volume
n = number of Moles
R= The Gas constant
T = Temperature (ideally this would be in Kelvin, but i don't see it in the option)
P = Pressure


I believe the answer is

 <span>V = (1.5mol) (0.08205 L*kPa/K*mol) (22Celsius)/100 kPa

A 32 L samples of xenon gas at 10°C is expanded to 35 L. Calculate the final temperature.
morpeh [17]

Answer:

              Final Temperature = 36.54 ⁰C

Explanation:

Lets suppose the gas is acting ideally, then according to Charle's Law, "<em>The volume of a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure is directly proportional to the absolute temperature</em>". Mathematically for initial and final states the relation is as follow,

                                                V₁ / T₁  =  V₂ / T₂

Data Given;

                  V₁  =  32 L

                  T₁  =  10 °C = 283.15 K             ∴ K = °C + 273.15

                  V₂  =  35 L

                  T₂  =  ??

Solving equation for T₂,

                         T₂  =  V₂ × T₁  / V₁

Putting values,

                         T₂  =  (35 L × 283.15 K) ÷ 32 L

                         T₂  =  309.69 K     ∴ ( 36.54 °C )

Result:

           As the volume is increased from 32 L to 35 L, therefore, the temperature must have increased from 10 °C to 36.54 °C.

Calculate the number of moles of C2H6 in 6.29×1023 molecules of C2H6.
Kipish [7]

1.05moles

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of molecules of C₂H₆ = 6.29 x 10²³molecules

Unknown:

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

The mole is the amount of substances that contains Avogadro's number of particles i.e 6.02 x 10²³

 To find the number of moles:

  number of moles = \frac{number of particles}{Avogadro's number}

  number of moles = \frac{6.29 x 10^{23} }{6.02 x 10^{23} }

  number of moles = 1.05moles

We saw in the calorimeter experiment that the combustion of a fuel is exothermic. what can you then say about the formation of a
ankoles [38]

Answer:

This question appear incomplete

Explanation:

This question appear incomplete. However, fuel is formed through a natural phenomenon involving the conversion of large amount dead and decayed organisms (usually algae and zooplanktons) to combustible fuel through exposure to relatively high temperature and pressure (over millions of years) in the earth's crust. Thus, since this involves a sort of absorption of heat energy (from the earth's crust), it can be referred to be an endothermic reaction.
