- During a recent winter month in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, it was necessary to obtain 3500 kWh of heat provided by a natural gas furnace with 89% efficiency to keep a small house warm (the efficiency of a gas furnace is the percent of the heat produced by combustion that is transferred into the house). (a) Assume that natural gas is pure methane and determine the volume of natural gas in cubic feet that was required to heat the house. The average temperature of the natural gas was 56 F; at this temperature and a pressure of 1 atm, natural gas has a density of 0.68 1 g/L. (b) How many gallons of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) would be required to replace the natural gas used? Assume the LPG is liquid propane [ C3H8 : density, 0.5318 g/mL; enthalpy of combustion, 2219 Id/mo for the formation of CO2(g) and H2O(l) ] and the furnace used to burn the LPG has the same efficiency as the gas furnace. (c) What mass of carbon dioxide is produced by combustion of the methane used to heat the house? (d) What mass of water is produced by combustion of the methane used to heat the house? (e) What volume of air is required to provide the oxygen for the combustion of the methane used to heat the house? Air contains 23% oxygen by mass. The average density of air during the month was 1.22 g/L. (f) How many kilowatt—hours ( 1kWh=3.6106 J) of electricity would be required to provide the heat necessary to heat the house? Note electricity is 100% efficient in producing heat inside a house. (g) Although electricity is 100% efficient in producing heat inside a house, production and distribution of electricity is not 100% efficient. The efficiency of production and distribution of electricity produced in a coal-fired power plant is about 40%. A certain type of coal provides 2.26 kWh per pound upon combustion. What mass of this coal in kilograms will be required to produce the electrical energy necessary to heat the house if the efficiency of generation and distribution is 40%?arrow_forwardA 15.5 g sample of sodium carbonate is added to a solution of acetic acid weighing 19.7 g. The two substances react, releasing carbon dioxide gas to the atmosphere. After reaction, the contents of the reaction vessel weigh 28.7 g.

- As part of a science project, you study traffic patterns in your city at an intersection in the middle of downtown. You set up a device that counts the ears passing through this intersection for a 24-hr period during a weekday. The graph of hourly traffic looks like this. a. At what time(s) does the highest number of cars pass through die intersection? b. At what time(s) does the lowest number of cars pass through die intersection? c. Briefly describe the trend in numbers of cars over the course of die day. d. Provide a hypothesis explaining the trend in numbers of cars over the course of the day. e. Provide a possible experiment that could test your hypothesis.arrow_forward(For Exercises 4546) Solutions containing nickel(II) ion are usually bright green in color. When potassium hydroxide is added to such a nickel(II) solution, a pale-green fluffy solid forms and settles out of the solution. The fact that a reaction takes place when potassium hydroxide is added to a solution of nickel(II) ions is an example of a properly. . The fact that a solution of nickel(II) ion is bright green is an example of a property.arrow_forward
