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

Iodine 131, cesium 137, and strontium 90 are all considered isotopes. What are isotopes?
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Isotopes are variants of an element, where the number of neutrons is different but its number of protons stay the same.

Explanation:

If the number of protons had changed then it would just be a different element.

Electron number changing simply adds charge to the atom, and doesn't change it or anything.

A teacher puts two tablets in a glass of water. The teacher
ehidna [41]

This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here are the options:

Which of the following is LESS dense than water?

The spoon

The glass

The tablets

The bubbles

The correct answer to this question is The bubbles

Explanation:

In general, the density of materials and substances affects their buoyancy. This implies in water less dense materials will float and those with higher density will sink. In the situation presented, the only element that is less dense than water are bubbles; this is shown by the movement of the bubbles as these originate in the bottom of the glass of water but they rise to the surface, which shows they are less dense than water.

Three metal spoons are on table. They are at room temperature. If the three spoons touch.
Alex
If the spoons touch, no heat will flow among the spoons because they are already in thermal equilibrium with each other. This is hinted by the statement "they are at room temperature" which means they all have the same temperature. Heat only flows when there is a difference in temperature.<span>
