Answer & Explanation:

The reason why is because global fossil fuel consumption is on the rise, and new reserves are becoming harder to find. Those that are discovered are significantly smaller than the ones that have been found in the past.

Oil: Consumption (Predictions): Over 11 Billion tonnes Annually. If we carry on as we are, our known oil deposits could run out in just over 53 years.

Gas (Predictions): If we increase gas production to fill the energy gap left by oil, our known gas reserves only give us just 52 years left.

Coal: Although it’s often claimed that we have enough coal to last hundreds of years, this doesn’t take into account the need for increased production if we run out of oil and gas, our known coal deposits could be gone in 150 years.

For example, oil reserves are a good example: 16 of the 20 largest oil fields in the world have reached peak level production – they’re simply too small to keep up with global demand.

During the year of 2015, fossil fuels made up 81.5% of total U.S. energy consumption. The number is most likely increasing every year.

(fyi: the graph provided is showing future energy reserves for coal, gas and oil. approxiamately.)

About 55L of a gas in a flexible container is under a pressure of 3.2 atm and at a temperature of 520K. What is the new volume o
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

30.62 L

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial volume (V₁) = 55 L

Initial pressure (P₁) = 3.2 atm

Initial temperature (T₁) = 520 K

Final temperature (T₂) = 760 K

Final pressure (P₂) = 8.4 atm

Final volume (V₂) =?

The final volume of the gas can be obtained as follow:

P₁V₁ / T₁ = P₂V₂ / T₂

3.2 × 55 / 520 = 8.4 × V₂ / 760

176 / 520 = 8.4 × V₂ / 760

Cross multiply

520 × 8.4 × V₂ = 176 × 760

4368 × V₂ = 133760

Divide both side by 4368

V₂ = 133760 / 4368

V₂ = 30.62 L

Therefore, the new volume of the gas is 30.62 L
