Answer:

B: Pineapple imported by air from Costa Rica

Explanation:

Embodied energy is the total energy that is required for the extraction, processing, manufacture and transportation of materials to its intended usage destination.

This means highest embodied energy will be the work that demands the most energy for extraction, processing, manufacture and transportation of materials to its intended usage destination.

Looking at the options given, the one with the highest embodied energy will be "Pineapple imported by air from Costa Rica". This is because other options are done locally and thus will consume lesser energy and processing time unlike the pineapple that is coming from another country and by air.

Missing question: What is the rate constant for the reaction?
<span>[RS2](mol L-1) Rate (mol/(L·s))
0.150                0.0394
0.250                0.109
0.350                0.214
0.500                0.438</span>
Chemical reaction: 3RS₂ → 3R + 6S.
Compare second and fourth experiment, when concentration is doubled, rate of concentration is increaced by four. So rate is:
rate = k·[RS₂]².
k = 0,438 ÷ (0,500)².
k = 1,75 L/mol·s.
