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
