Greenwashing is a major problem. Companies will say they are using practices that benefit the environment while really not taking any steps to do so. An example is Terracycle - a company that is supposedly able to recycle non-recyclable plastics and by-products - but which went over a year without collecting products from any of their customers. How can consumers navigate the labels to determine if products are actually sustainable.
What are 2 materials the US EPA says
make sense economically and
environmentally to recycle?
O paper and plastic
O paper and aluminum
O plastic and glass
Oglass and paint
O all of these make sense
economically and environmentally
to recycle.
Why do you think engineers believe that spraying, and not a steady stream of fuel, is more efficient?

- Propane, C3H8, is a hydrocarbon that is commonly used as a fuel. (a) Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of propane gas. (b) Calculate the volume of air at 25 C and 1.00 atmosphere that is needed to completely combust 25.0 grams of propane. Assume that air is 21.0 percent O2 by volume. (Hint: we will see how to do this calculation in a later chapter on gasesfor now use the information that 1.00 L of air at 25 C and 1.00 atm contains 0.275 g of 2 per liter.) (c) The heat of combustion of propane is 2,219.2 kJ/mol. Calculate the heat of formation, Hf of propane given that Hf of H2O(l)=285.8 kJ/mol and Hf of CO2(g)=393.5 kJ/mol.

D1). Called nanobes, they are roughly cylindrical and range from 20 to 150 nm long and about 10 nm in diameter. One approach to determining whether nanobes are living is to estimate how many atoms and molecules could make up a nanobe. If the number is too small, then there would not be enough DNA, protein, and other biological molecules to carry out life processes. To test this method, estimate an upper limit for the number of atoms that could be in a nanobe. (Use a small atom, such as hydrogen.) Also estimate how many protein molecules could fit inside a nanobe. Do your estimates rule out the possibility that a nanobe could be living? Explain why or why not.arrow_forward1)Which one of the following statements is not true about ways materials can be smart?
