2-81) When a hydrocarbon fuel is burned, almost all of the carbon in the fuel burns completely to form CO2 (carbon dioxide), whi

ch is the principal gas causing the greenhouse 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. Deter- mine the amount of CO2 production that is due to the refrigerators in a city with 300,000 households.

Answer:

12.39 x 10⁷ kg

Explanation:

A typical new household refrigerator uses about 700 kWh of electricity per year.

No of household = 300000

Total energy  used up = 300000 x 700 kWh

= 21 x 10⁷ kWh .

Production of each kWh energy produces .59 kg of CO₂

Production of 21 x 10⁷  kWh energy produces .59 x 21 x 10⁷ kg of CO₂

CO₂ produced =  .59 x 21 x 10⁷ kg

= 12.39 x 10⁷ kg

Consider the reaction 2 S + 3 O2 → 2 SO3 , which has a 75.1% yield. How much O2 is consumed if 583 g of SO3 are produced?
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

A/1.      10.9 mol O2

Explanation:

583 g x 1 mol SO3 x 3 mol O2 /

      80.057 g mol SO3 x 2 mol SO3

- You just need to find molar mass of SO3, which is 80.057 g.

- Everything else came from formula. Further explanation...

- Always start with what they give, such as 583 g. Then find 1 mol of what is being produced, in this it is SO3. We already found this because we did molar mass above. Next. find how many moles of what they want, which is O2. Look in equation and you can see 3 mol in from of O2. Next, do the same for SO3 and you can find 3 mol in front of that. Lastly, just do the math.

- If you need a further explanation or more help on any problems I would be happy to help, just let me know.

A strontium-90 atom that has a lost two electrons has __________ protons, __________ neutrons, and __________ electrons.
MAXImum [283]
<span><em>Answer:</em>
A strontium-90 atom that has a lost two electrons has <u>38</u> protons, <u>52</u> neutrons, and <u>36</u> electrons.

<em>Explanation:
</em>Atomic number<em> of </em>Strontium (Sr) is 38. 
<em>Atomic number = number of protons 
</em>Hence, Strontium has 38 protons.

If the element is in neutral state,
                number of protons = number of electrons. 
Then, neutral Strontium atom should have 38 electrons. 
But the question says Sr has lost 2 electrons. Hence, number of electrons should be 38 - 2 = 36.

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons.

The given mass number is 90. Hence, number of neutrons should be 90 - 38 = 52.</span>

If you added 45,000 calories to water that was at 25 degrees C, and the ending temperature was 35 degrees C, how much water did
user100 [1]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>4.5 L water we have in litres (L).</em>

<em><u></u></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Q=m\times c \times \Delta T

where

\Delta T = Final T - Initial T

Q is the heat energy in calories

c is the specific heat capacity (for water 1.0  cal/(g℃))  

m is the mass of water

Plugging in the values  

\\$45000 \mathrm{cal}=m \times 1.0 \frac{\mathrm{cal}}{\mathrm{g}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}} \times\left(35^{\circ} \mathrm{C}-25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)$\\\\$45000 \mathrm{cal}=m \times 1.0 \frac{\mathrm{cal}}{\mathrm{g}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}} \times 10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$\\\\$m=\frac{45000 \mathrm{cal}}{1.0 \frac{\mathrm{cal}}{\mathrm{g}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}} \times 10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}$\\\\$m=4500 \mathrm{g}$\\\\Density of water $=\frac{\text { mass }}{\text { volume }}$

So,

Volume of water = mass/density

\\\\=\frac{4500 \mathrm{g}}{\frac{1.09}{\mathrm{mL}}}=4500 \mathrm{mL}$$
