8. Shaming of flying: is it fair? We are seeing in recent years the shaming of flying. The reasoning is that a plane uses a lot of fuel in each flight. For example, as presented in class, a Boeing 737MAX burns 1.6 gallons of jet fuel for each mile in cruise. Explain if such shaming is justified in the overall picture of energy consumption and CO2 emission.

Ideal Gas Law

Ideal gas law states that the product of pressure and volume of a gas directly varies with the product of the number of moles, the universal gas constant, and the temperature of the gas.
