A 500 MW power plant burns bituminous coal having a heatingvalue 28,400 kJ/kg. The overall plant efficiency is 36 percent. The plant operates at an annual capacity factor of 65 percent, meaning that the electrical energy generated in a year is 65 percent of the maximum possible. Calculate the annual quantity (mass) of coal burned at this power plant. Also calculate the annual quantities of ash and sulfur in the coal entering the plant.

A chemist burned a sample of coal in a bomb calorimeter. Her results are below. Calorimeter's Heat Capacity 7.264 kJ/°C Mass of Coal Initial Temperature Final Temperature 0.100 g 22.07°C 25.37°C The sample of coal that the chemist placed in the bomb was dry but when she finished the test there was a small amount of water in the bomb. Where did this water come from and how does it affect her result? The water came from the water surrounding the bomb so her measured heat of combustion is for a closed system. The water was a product of combustion so her measured heat of combustion is for an open system.

A 4.81 g sample of an unknown salt (MM = 116.82 g/mol) is dissolved in 150.00 g water in a coffee cup calorimeter. Before placing the sample in the water, the temperature of the salt and water is 23.72°C. After the salt has completely dissolved, the temperature of the solution is 28.54°C. If 3.12 × 10³ J of heat was gained by the solution, what is the total heat for the dissolution reaction of the 4.81 g of salt? How many moles of the unknown salt were used in the reaction ? _______ J?
In order to break water into hydrogen and oxygen, water is heated to more than 500°C. Which kind of reaction is this and why? It is exothermic because heat needs to be released by the reactants to form the products. It is endothermic because heat needs to be released by the reactants to form the products It is exothermic because heat needs to be absorbed by the reactants to form the products. It is endothermic because heat needs to be absorbed by the reactants to form the products.
Suppose a boil water notice is sent out advising all residents in the area to boil their water before drinking it or using it for cooking. You need to boil 18.0 L of water using your natural gas (primarily methane) stove. What volume of natural gas is needed to boil the water if only 10.1% of the heat generated goes towards heating the water. Assume the density of methane is 0.668 g/L, the density of water is 1.00 g/mL, and that the water has an initial temperature of 21.4 °C. Enthalpy of formation values can be found in this table. Assume that gaseous water is formed in the combustion of methane.
