Be sure to answer all parts. One gallon of gasoline in an automobiles engine produces on average 9.50 kg of carbon dioxide, whic

h is a greenhouse gas; that is, it promotes the warming of Earth's atmosphere. Calculate the annual production of carbon dioxide in kilograms if there are exactly 40.0 million cars in the United States and each car covers a distance of 7930 mi at a consumption rate of 23.6 miles per gallon. Enter your answer in scientific notation.

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

one gallon of gasoline produces 9.50 kg of carbon.

The total number of cars = 40 million

Distance covered by each car = 7930 miles

Consumption rate of the cars per miles traveled is 23.6 miles per gallon.

Hence the annual gasoline consumption by all the cars in the United States of America = (total number of cars × Distance covered by each car) ÷ Consumption rate of the cars per miles

annual gasoline consumption by all the cars = (40000000 × 7930 miles) ÷ 23.6 miles/gallon = `1.344067797 × 10¹⁰ gallons

1.344067797 × 10¹⁰ gallons = 1.344067797*10^{10}\  gallons *\frac{9.50\ kg}{1\ gallon} =1.276864407*10^{11}\ kg\ of \ carbon\ dioxide

Which will reduce the possible environmental damage associated with mining uranium?
blagie [28]

We need to discuss about reduction of possible environmental damage associated with uranium mining.

There are several extraction processes involved in mining uranium as- (i) surface mining, (ii) heap leaching, (iii) underground mining and so on.

There are so many risks involved towards environment and health.

There are some improvements for long term stabilization of Uranium mining have been documented. They are as follows-back-filling and  using residues for the construction of motorways, washing of soil with water, carbon treatment inclusion of new materials like room temperature ceramics for the immobilization of various contaminants, de-watering, and land encapsulation.

The reaction rate is k[Ce4+][Mn2+] for the following reaction: 2Ce4+(aq) + Tl+(aq) + Mn2+(aq) → 2Ce3+(aq) + Tl3+(aq) + Mn2+(aq W
sdas [7]

Answer:

Manganese (II) ion, Mn²⁺

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the overall reaction:

2Ce^{4+}(aq) + Tl^+(aq) + Mn^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow 2Ce^{3+}(aq) + Tl^{3+}(aq) + Mn^{2+}(aq)

Thus, since manganese (II) ion, Mn²⁺ is both at the reactant and products, we infer it is catalyst, since catalysts are firstly consumed but finally regenerated once the reaction has gone to completion. Moreover, since inner steps are needed to obtain it, we can infer that the given rate law corresponds to the slowest step that is related with the initial collisions between Ce⁴⁺ and Mn²⁺

Best regards.

What type of reaction is BaCl2 + Na2SO4 → 2NaCl + BaSO4?
maria [59]

Answer:

Double Displacement reaction

Explanation:

BaCl2 + Na2SO4 → 2NaCl + BaSO4

Double displacement reaction occurs when the cations and anions of the two reacting compound interchange, forming a new products. From the equation given above, Na^+ switch place with Ba^2 + and likewise Cl^- with (SO4) ^2- to form NaCl and BaSO4.
