Maine during its cold winter months differs from the fuel used in Arizona during hot summer months. Consider the following questions. 1. Why do differing climates require different automobile fuels? What practical reasons are there (in terms of transport, storage, and transfer of fuel) for tailoring fuel to a specific climate?

9.26 Gas furnaces have achieved impressive efficiency levels largely through the addition of a second heat exchanger that condenses water vapor that would otherwise escape out the exhaust system attached to the furnace. How does this process improve efficiency?
What is incomplete combustion of fossil fuels? Why can this be a problem?
9.72 Although it can be a nuisance when a laptop computer freezes up and needs to be rebooted, we accept that as somewhat inevitable. But clearly the need to occasionally reboot the control system for the power grid would not be acceptable. Use the web to research ways that engineers ensure the reliability of crucial systems like the control infrastructure of the grid, and write a paragraph summarizing the main strategies employed.

How much heat is produced by combustion of 125 g of methanol under standard state conditions?
An industrial process for manufacturing sulfuric acid, H2SO4, uses hydrogen sulfide, H2S, from the purification of natural gas. In the first step of this process, the hydrogen sulfide is burned to obtain sulfur dioxide, SO2. 2H2S(g)+3O2(g)2H2O(l)+2SO2(g);H=1124kJ The density of sulfur dioxide at 25C and 1.00 atm is 2.62 g/L, and the molar heat capacity is 30.2 J/(mol C). (a) How much heat would be evolved in producing 1.00 L of SO2 at 25C and 1.00 atm? (b) Suppose heat from this reaction is used to heat 1.00 L of the SO2 from 25C to 500C for its use in the next step of the process. What percentage of the heat evolved is required for this?
Consider the Haber process: N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g);H=91.8kJ The density of ammonia at 25C and 1.00 atm is 0.696 g/L. The density of nitrogen, N2, is 1.145 g/L, and the molar heat capacity is 29.12 J/(mol C). (a) How much heat is evolved in the production of 1.00 L of ammonia at 25C and 1.00 atm? (b) What percentage of this heat is required to heat the nitrogen required for this reaction (0.500 L) from 25C to 400C, the temperature at which the Haber process is run?
Use the same fat described in Question 27. (a) Write a thermochemical equation for the metabolism of fat. (b) A dieter reduces his food intake by 425 nutritional calories a day (1 nutritional calorie=1000calories). How many kJ can he lose in one day? (c) How many pounds of fat are lost in one week with this diet?
9.100 Two baking sheets are made of different metals. You purchase both and bake a dozen cookies on each sheet at the same time in your oven. You observe that after 9 minutes, the cookies on one sheet are slightly burned on the bottom, whereas those on the other sheet are fine. (You are curious and you vary the conditions so you know the result is not caused by the oven.) (a) How can you use this observation to infer something about the specific heat of the materials in the baking sheets? (b) What is themathematical reasoning (equation) that you need to support your conclusion?
