1. Energy consumption in a country from 2001 to 2011 increased from 1041.3 million
to 1526.1 million BOE (barrels of oil equivalent). If the high calorific value (HHV) of the oil
is 141,000 kJ/gallon what is the increase in energy consumption over 10 years in
Joule units. What is the rate of energy consumption per year?
2. Based on data on the rate of energy consumption per year from question no. 1, if the growth rate
energy 2.5% per year, calculate the doubling time (td) and what is the approximate rate of
energy growth in 2021.
You are given a sample of polypropylene and wish to find out the volume % crystallinity. You know that the density of 100% crystalline polypropylene (ρc) is 0.946 g/cm3, and the density of 100% amorphous polypropylene (ρa) is 0.855 g/cm3. Through your careful measurements, you determine the density of the sample (ρs) is 0.93 g/cm3. Use the following equation to determine the volume % crystallinity (ν) of your sample. Enter your answer with 1 decimal place.
Answer is 82.4
Another sample of polypropylene has a 68 volume percent crystallinity. What is the density of the sample? Enter your answer is g/cm3. ( I need help with this second question. The answer is .917, i just can't get to that.)
Hint: use the values and equation from the previous problem.

- In the movie Back to the Future, Marty travels back in time to 1955. In 1955, the only available light bulbs in the United States were incandescent bulbs. Assume that last year, you traveled back in time to 1955 and changed all the light bulbs in a single average American household (45 light bulbs) from 75-watt incandescent bulbs to the corresponding 17-watt LED bulbs. The estimated usage is 3 hours per day , at a cost of $0.11 per kilowatt-hour . Based on energy cost alone - not considering the cost to replace any light bulbs and not considering any changes in energy cost with time - how much money in dollars would this household have saved over a 66-year time span (from 1955 to 2021) by changing from incandescent to LED bulbs?arrow_forwardYour professor has recruited you to work in her lab to help her win the Nobel Prize.
