When a hydrocarbon fuel is burned, almost all of the carbon in the fuel burns completely to form CO2 (carbon dioxide), which is

the principal gas causing the greenhouse 102 ENERGY, ENERGY TRANSFER effect and thus global climate change. On average, 0.59 kg of CO2 is produced for each kWh of electricity generated from a power plant that burns natural gas. A typical new household refrigerator uses about 700 kWh of electricity per year. Determine the amount of CO2 production that is due to the refrigerators in a city with 300,000 households.

Answer:

1.239 * 10^8 Kg

Explanation:

Since all the electricity consumed comes from natural gas;

amount of electricity consumed = 700 * 300,000 = 2.1 * 10^8 kWh

So, amount of CO2 consumed is given by;

amount of electricity consumed * amount of CO2 per kWh

Hence,

Amount of CO2 = 2.1 * 10^8 kWh * 0.59 = 1.239 * 10^8 Kg

Products: 1-methylcyclohexene, 3-methylcyclohexene, methylenecyclohexane
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reaction that we are considering here is quite a knotty reaction. It is difficult to decide if the mechanism is actually E1 or E2 since both are equally probable based on the mass of scientific evidence regarding this reaction. However, we can easily assume that the methylenecyclohexane was formed by an E1 mechanism.

Looking at the products, one could convincingly assert that the reaction leading to the formation of the two main products proceeds via an E1 mechanism with the formation of a carbocation intermediate as has been shown in mechanism attached to this answer. Possible rearrangement of the carbocation yields the 3-methylcyclohexene product.

Hoochie [10]
B
mass of solute - 4.0 g
mass of solution - 100g + 4.0g = 104g
4/104 = 0.03846
0.03846 • 100 = 3.8%

sergey [27]

Answer:

After Eris was discovered, they had to decide whether Eris was a planet or not. If they decided it wasn't a planet, they had to also decide whether Pluto should be counted as a planet since Eris and Pluto were quite similar. They were the same size, and they were both part of the Kuiper Belt.

Allushta [10]

Answer:

2C_{10} H_{22(l)} + 31O2(g)--> 20CO_{2(g)} + 22H_{2}O_{(g)}

Explanation:

2C_{10} H_{22(g)} + 31O2(g)--> 20CO_{2(g)} + 22H_{2}O_{(g)}

From the question, one can work out which states of matter to assign to which species. The trick with organic equations of this nature is to try to balance everything but oxygen first. Make sure you balance oxygen last because it is the easiest to balance.
