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

How does the product of burning differ from the original material​
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Burning is a chemical process by which two atoms or molecules will combine with each other. In burning, the two atoms or molecules will combine and release energy.When the molecules combine and release energy, it is released in the form of heat and often light.Different compounds react with oxygen differently – some contain lots of heat energy while others produce a smaller amount.The bigger the fuel load, the more intense the fire will be in terms of heat energy output. Moisture content: If the fuel isn't dry enough, it won't burn.Flames consist primarily of carbon dioxide, water vapor, oxygen and nitrogen. If hot enough, the gases may become ionized to produce plasma. Depending on the substances alight, and any impurities outside, the color of the flame and the fire's intensity will be different.
