Answer:

The halogen bulb lasts longer because the filament lasts longer. It can have twice the life of an incandescent and use the same amount or slightly less (10%) electricity.

A six row combin harvests 266 pounds of corn per min. How many bushels of corn does it harvest per hour? (Note: 1 Bu = 56 Lbs) R

kiruha [24]

Answer:

The six-row combin harvests 285 bushels of corn per hour.

Explanation:

The rule of three or is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them. That is, what is intended with it is to find the fourth term of a proportion knowing the other three.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, you can apply the following formula:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

So: $x=\frac{a*b}{c}$

In this case you can apply it in the following way: if 56 pounds is equal to 1 bushel, 266 pounds to how many bushels is it?

$x=\frac{266 pounds*1 bushel}{56 pounds}$

x=4.75

This is, a six row combin harvests 4.75 bushels of corn per min.

So, being 1 hour equal to 60 minutes, you can apply the following rule of three: if in 1 minute a six-row harvester harvests , in 60 minutes how many bushels of corn it harvests?

$bushels of corn=\frac{60 minutes*4.75 bushels of corn}{1minute}$

bushels of corn= 285

<u><em> The six-row combin harvests 285 bushels of corn per hour.</em></u>

Assume that all of this fossil fuel is in the form of octane (C8H18) and calculate how much CO2 in kilograms is produced by worl

AnnZ [28]

The given question is incomplete. the complete question is:

The world burns the fossil fuel equivalent of approximately $9.50\times 10^{12}$ kg of petroleum per year. Assume that all of this petroleum is in the form of octane. Calculate how much CO2 in kilograms is produced by world fossil fuel combustion per year.( Hint: Begin by writing a balanced equation for the combustion of octane.)

Answer: $29\times 10^{12}kg$

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

$2_C8H_{18}+17O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O$

To calculate the moles :

$\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}$

$\text{Moles of octane}=\frac{9.50\times 10^{12}\times 10^3g}{114g/mol}=0.083\times 10^{15}moles$

According to stoichiometry :

As 2 moles of octane give = 16 moles of $CO_2$

Thus $0.083\times 10^{15}moles$ of octane give = $\frac{16}{2}\times 0.083\times 10^{15}=0.664\times 10^{15}moles$ of $CO_2$

Mass of $CO_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.664\times 10^{15}moles\times 44g/mol=29.2\times 10^{15}g=29.2\times 10^{12}kg$

Thus $29\times 10^{12}kg$ of $CO_2$ is produced by world fossil fuel combustion per year.

Consider the relationship (y+3)2 = b/(x-2), where y and x are variables and bis a constant. On rectangular coordinate paper, wha

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

(-1) is the slope of a graph of In(y+3) on the vertical axis versus In(x-2) on the horizontal axis.

Explanation:

$\frac{(y+3)}{2} = \frac{b}{(x-2)}$

Taking natural logarithm on both the sides:

$\ln [(y+3)]-\ln[2]=\ln [b]-\ln [(x-2)]$

$\ln [(y+3)]=\ln[2]+\ln [b]-\ln [(x-2)]$

$\ln [(y+3)]=\ln {[2\times b]-\ln [(x-2)]$

Slope intercept form is generally given as:

$y=mx+c$

m = slope, c = intercept on y axis or vertical axis

On rearranging equation:

$\ln [(y+3)]=(-1)\times \ln [(x-2)]+\ln {2b}$

y = ln [(y+3)], x = ln [(x-2)], m=-1 , c = ln 2b

(-1) is the slope of a graph of In(y+3) on the vertical axis versus In(x-2) on the horizontal axis.

Why is not used at nuclear plant as a soverce for electrical energy

nikitadnepr [17]

The biggest reason is radioactive wastes. Nuclear power generated radioactive wastes like Uranimum, plutonium and amercium that inhibits gene expression and causes cancer to the environment. Nuclear plants use to release these wastes into the oceans, and it causes fishes to exhibit gender change, 3 eyes, 2 tails etc. The impact on human shows signs of serious blood, liver and lung cancers.

There are currently no way to get rid of these wastes as they take hundred thousands of years to decompose.

Another reason is they cause a small amount of green gas emission. Releases CO2 to the sky. They exhibit radioactive gas emission as well (causes cancer) .
