Assume that a firm has the following marginal benefit of pollution (denoted E for emissions, measured in tons): MB=150-5 E e. No

w assume that instead the government allocates each firm permits to pollute equal to the total current pollution minus 12 tons, but allows the firms to trade. Which firm will purchase permits and which firm will sell permits? Hint: Notice that total pollution reduction of firm 1 plus firm 2 will be 24 tons. f. How much pollution reduction will each firm undertake after they have traded permits? What will the total cost of pollution reduction be across both firms? g. What price will permits sell for? What would the total cost to each firm of complying with the cap-and-trade policy be? h. Explain in words why the total cost of reducing pollution is lower under cap-and-trade than with firm-specific pollution limits. 3. Assume that a firm has the following marginal benefit of pollution (denoted E for emissions, measured in tons): MB=150-5E a. How much would this firm pollute if pollution is unregulated? b. The government would like to reduce pollution from this amount by 12 tons and so implements a quantity constraint at the quantity in part (a) minus 12. What is the cost to this firm of reducing pollution by 12 tons? C. What tax would encourage this polluter to reduce pollution by the same 12 tons as the quantity constraint? What would the cost of this tax be to the firm? d. Now assume that there is a second firm with the following marginal benefit of pollution: M B =90-3 E2. How much pollution would this firm emit if pollution is unregulated and what would it's cost be to reduce pollution by 12 tons from that level? e. Now assume that instead the government allocates each firm permits to pollute equal to the total current pollution minus 12 tons, but allows the firms to trade. Which firm will purchase permits and which firm will sell permits? Hint: Notice that total pollution reduction of firm 1 plus firm 2 will be 24 tons. f. How much pollution reduction will each firm undertake after they have traded permits? What will the total cost of pollution reduction be across both firms? 8. What price will permits sell for? What would the total cost to each firm of complying with the cap-and-trade policy be? h. Explain in words why the total cost of reducing pollution is lower under cap-and-trade than with firm-specific pollution limits.

Answer:

Explanation:

E)cost of pollution is reduction in benefit of the firms.

MB=150-5E,. MB=90-3E

E=30-MB/5. E=30-MB/3

Joint MB,

E=60-8MB/15

MB=112.5-1.875E

Total pollution reduction=24

Total pollution=60-24=36

MB=112.5-1.875*36=112.5-67.5=45

Firm 1

MB=150-5E.

45=150-5E.

E=-105/-5=21

Reduction=30-21=9

Firm 2,

MB=90-3E

45=90-3E

E=-45/-3=15

Reduction =30-15=15

So firm 2 is reducing 15 units of pollution and firm 1 reducing 9 units of pollution.

As each firm have to reduce 12 units of pollution but firm 2 reducing 3 units more while firm 1 reducing 3 less units.

So, firm 2 is selling 3 units of pollution emission permit to firm 1.

F)firm 1 reduce 9 units and firm 2 reduce 12 units of pollution after trade.

Total cost of pollution reduction will total Benefit reduction by pollution reduction.

MB=112.5 -1.875E

TB=112.5E-0.9375E^2

TB at E=60

TB=112.5*60-0.9375*60*60=6750-3375=3375

TB at E=36

TB=112.5*36-0.9375*36*36=4050-1215=2836

Total cost of pollution reduction=3375-2836=540

G)price of permit= cost of extra pollution reduction by firm 2 or total cost from 9 to 12 by firm 2

MB=90-3E

TB=90E- 1.5E^2

TB at E=18

TB=90*18 -1.5*18*18=1620-486=1134

TB at E=15

TB=90*15 -1.5*15*15=1350-337.5=1012.5

Permit price=1134-1012.5=121.5

Total cost to firm 2 =1134

Net total cost to firm 2=1134-121.5=1012.5

Total cost to firm 1=150E-2.5E^2=150*9-2.5*9*9=1350-202.5=1147.5

Net total cost=1147.5+121.5=1269

H) the total cost is lower in cap & trade policy is because the firm who has higher cost of pollution reduction is paying the other firm who has lower cost of pollution reduction to reduce more pollution ,so that his part of pollution reduction can be completed.

And the amount he is paying is equal to the amount that is cost of other firm of reducing additional pollution units.

So the cost the firm is lower as he is paying lower amount than if he reduce pollution by itself.

Explain the general process of nuclear fission. What is created from fission?
aliya0001 [1]
In nuclear fission heavier elements are split to make lighter elements whilst releasing energy. An atom, its nucleus to be more specific, is bombarded with neutrons. The nucleus becomes unstable and it starts to split/decay. It creates the fusion products. Neutrons and lighter elements are released; the neutrons from the nuclei of the atom(s) being split.

On the table below, record your observations before and after the interactions and note if mass was conserved. Describe the chan
lilavasa [31]

Steel Wool + Oxygen (Fire)  The steel wool is a grayish color and has a rough surface. Oxygen is transparent  It looks like a powder, and like if it was rusted steel wool but then broken apart and turned into a powder  Well Iron oxide is 7 grams and steel wool combined is 7 grams so you can say that the mass was conserved  Yes, this is a chemical change because the steel wool rusted and rust is a chemical change, so iron oxide is cause because if a physical change.

Egg + Heat  The egg has a yellow yolk in the middle while there is some type of liquid at the border of the yolk, but it is clear, the heat is hot but transparent  The egg turned into a delicious food called an omelet what was yolk staid as a liquid but got a tad harder, but the transparent border around it turned white  It was conserved because the eggshell was 4 grams and the fried egg is 41 grams  It is a chemical change because it results in the formation of new particles, and the chemical bonds break up and new ones are formed.

Water + Heat  The water is a clear liquid, while the heat is very hot but transparent  The water turned into a type of oxygen -Water Vapor-   If 5 g of water becomes a gas it becomes 5 g of water vapor. The mass of the liquid water is simply transferred into the mass of the newly formed water vapor.  There was no chemical reaction because the water vapor can be turned back to water also it just changed from a liquid to a gas and did not change its composition  

Zinc + Hydrogen Chloride  Zinc: a white/silver metallic solid. Hydrogen chloride (dilute hydroelectric acid) a transparent, colorless liquid with a very low pH (acidic). Zinc "dissolved" in hydrogen chloride, while emitting a colorless gas.  The liquid remains a colorless liquid, possibly still having a low pH from the unused acid. The colorless gas collected in a test tube gives a popping sound when ignited with a burning wooden splint, so it is not air embedded in the zinc, nor dissolved in hydroelectric acid.  Well although the zinc chloride is 12 grams and not 15 the gas that was released was 3 grams and as we all know 3 + 12 is 15 so you could say that the mass was conserved The production of a new substance (most probably hydrogen) from the reaction of the two reactants. When a few drops of the liquid product are evaporated on a watch glass, a white residue is left.  When a few drops of the liquid hydroelectric acid are evaporated on a watch glass, there is no residue. This proves that a new product (hydrogen gas), (white powder, zinc chloride) is produced instead of zinc being physically dissolved in hydroelectric acid.

Sodium Hydroxide + Copper Sulfate  Sodium hydroxide is a turbid solution and copper sulfate is in form of bright blue crystals. When their solutions are mixed with each other, a pale blue precipitate of basic copper hydroxide & a solution of neutral salt sodium sulfate will be formed. The sodium hydroxide and the copper sulfate combined make a total of 67 grams and the product  is split because the sodium sulfate is 47 grams and the copper hydroxide is 20 grams but all together it is still 67 grams so you could say that the mass was conserved The proof of the reaction is the appearance of pale blue precipitates of basic copper hydroxide & a solution of neutral salt sodium sulfate.

babymother [125]
Toulene = 35.6 g 
Benzene = 125 g = 0.125 kg
 Molecular weight of Toluene C6H5CH3 = 92.1g/mol
 Moles of toulene = 35.6 g / 92.1 g/mol = 0.3865 mol

 Now the molarity of the toulene in the given solution = 0.3865 / 0.125 = 3.092 m 
 Molarity of C6H5CH3 = 3.092 m
