Chapter 7.8, Problem 7.10YT
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The some other ways that people can reduce transportation-related carbon dioxide emissions have to be found.

Concept Introduction:

Electrochemical cell is a device capable of converting chemical energy into electrical energy or induces chemical energy by electrical energy. In the galvanic cell spontaneous redox reaction takes place. Redox reaction means the reaction in which the oxidation state of the atoms changes due to the occurrence of both reduction and its complementary oxidation reactions. The element under oxidation reaction loses electron whereas the element in the reduction gains electron.

Energy of Combustion: The energy released in the form of heat when given substance undergoes combustion reaction.

A Fuel is a substance that releases energy when it gets burnt in presence of Oxygen.  The phenomenon a substance getting burnt in presence of Oxygen is termed as combustion and it is exothermic process.  The larger the amount of heat released per gram of a substance, greater the potential it has to be a fuel.

TRUE LIES: There are many misconceptions regarding fire. A person must equip himself with factualinformation to guarantee safety. Not all shared information is true. So, can you spot them?Direction: Below are statements about basic information on fire. On your answer sheet, write TRUE if thestatement expresses a correct idea, otherwise write LIE.4. Fire is a thing, not an event.5. Assuming stable fuel, heat, and oxygen levels, a typical house fire is constant in size every minute until the firedies down.6. Earth is the only known planet where fire can burn.7. Water can be produced by fire.8. Using concentrated sunlight, ancient Greeks were able to start fire. A parabolic mirror that focuses solar rays isstill used to ignite the Olympic torch.9. Among the stages of fire, the last stage which is the “decay stage” takes the longest time to finish.10.All fire extinguishers are multipurpose, meaning each one can put out all types of fire caused by any material.NOTE: JUST THE ANSWER ONLY NO…
