Answer:

7.5 mg/L

Explanation:

As the drug elimination is following the first order of reaction mechanism so for such reactions the following equation relates the final and initial amount

\text {Final amount} = \text {initial amount}(\frac{1}{2} )^{\frac{t}{\text {half life}} }

The values given in the question are

Initial concentration = 120 mg/L

Half life = 3 hours.

Time = 12 hours

Thus, putting the given values in the above equation, we get

\text {Final amount}= 120(\frac{1}{2} )^{\frac{12}{3} }= 120(\frac{1}{2} )^{4 } = \frac{120}{16}  = 7.5

Thus, after 12 hours the concentration of the remaining drug will be 7.5 mg/L.

This is for Fossil Fuels.
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

<h2>Question no 4 answer</h2>

Fossil fuels will still provide 60% of energy in 2040, compared to 85% today, but the pattern of use will change, away from coal and towards gas, and increasingly concentrated in industry. Fossil fuel prices would be lower in a 2˚C scenario, with less need to mobilise high-cost reserves to meet demands.

<h2>Question no 3 answer</h2>

Carbon emissions trap heat in the atmosphere and lead to climate change. In the United States, the burning of fossil fuels, particularly for the power and transportation sectors, accounts for about three-quarters of our carbon emissions

<h2>Question no 2 answer</h2>

The premise of this Viewpoint article is that the sustainability of the electricity supply is very often addressed in narrow frames of reference, which sets up incremental decision-making. To more fairly compare the economic, social, and environmental aspects of renewables, such as photovoltaics, to fossil fuels, a broader view is required which needs to take into account the impacts of the fossil fuel supply chain.

<h2>Question no 1 answer</h2>

These non-renewable fuels, which include coal, oil, and natural gas, supply about 80 percent of the world's energy. They provide electricity, heat, and transportation, while also feeding the processes that make a huge range of products, from steel to plastics.
