Question

If a household appliance had a wattage of 4,694 amd is in use for 10 hours, how much Co2 was produced

Answer 1

Answer: 4.64805 pounds of CO₂ was produced

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

wattage = 4694 watt = 4694 /1000 = 4.694 kW

time in use t = 10hrs

CO₂ was produced = ?

Total Energy produced = wattage × time = 4.694 kW × 10hrs =  46.95 kWh

we know that 1 kWh produces 0.99 pounds of CO₂

so

46.95 kWh will produce ⇒ 46.95 kWh × 0.99 = 4.64805 pounds of CO₂

Therefore 4.64805 pounds of CO₂ was produced
