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

-BARSIC- [3]
Hello there!

The statement that Acid strength in a series of H-A molecules increases with increasing size of A is True.

When only the size is involved, increasing the size will increase the Acid strength because as size increases, the H-A bond will become weaker as the atoms will be farther apart. Acid strength is related to the ability to release H⁺ ions and a weaker H-A bond will release H⁺ more easily. 

Have a nice day!

Hydrogen gas is filled in a 224 ml glass container at 0 degree celcius and 1 atmospheric pressure. What are the number of molecu
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{6.02 $\math{\times 10^{21}}$ molecules}}

Explanation:

A pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 0 °C is the old definition of STP. Under these conditions, 1 mol of a gas occupies 22.4 L.

1. Calculate the moles of hydrogen.

n = \text{0.224 L} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{22.4 L}} = \text{0.0100 mol}

2. Calculate the number of molecules

\text{No. of molecules} = \text{0.0100 mol} \times \dfrac{\text{6.022 $\times 10^{23}$ molecules}}{\text{1 mol}}\\\\= \textbf{6.02 $\mathbf{\times 10^{21}}$ molecules}\\\\\text{The sample contains }\boxed{\textbf{6.02 $\mathbf{\times 10^{21}}$ molecules}}

When comparing Potassium (K) and Calcium (Ca) you must compare?
Rom4ik [11]
Vitamin K and potassium are essential micronutrients the body needs to develop and function properly. The two share some things in common, but they’re not the same.

Each has a unique set of properties and purposes. Unlike vitamin K, potassium is not a vitamin. Rather, it’s a mineral.

On the periodic table, the chemical symbol for potassium is the letter K. Thus, people sometimes confuse potassium with vitamin K.

This article highlights some of the main similarities and differences between vitamin K and potassium.

Indica las condiciones que debe cumplir una colisión entre moléculas para que se produzca una reacción química
g100num [7]

Answer:

Las moléculas de los reactivos tienen que chocar entre sí. Estos choques deben de producirse con energía suficiente de forma que se puedan romper y formar enlaces químicos. En el choque debe haber una orientación adecuada para que los enlaces que se tienen que romper y formar estén a una distancia y posición viable.
