An article in Scientific American pointed out that replacing a 75-watt incandescent bulb with an 18-watt compact fluorescent bulb would save about 75% in the cost of electricity. Electricity is generally priced per kilowatt-hour (kWh) and the rate is PhP 10/kW-h. Calculate how much money you would save over the life of one compact fluorescent bulb (about 10,000 h).

Last week, you were told you have a new boss. Your new boss has a science background but he hears that beryllium (Be) is much cheaper than lithium. Your team does not think that switching to beryllium in batteries is a good idea. You have a meeting coming up with him. You plan to convince him that lithium is a better choice than beryllium for creating lightweight, and energy efficient batteries. Use your knowledge of periodic trends to create a slide with your team to present to him!

How are they different?arrow_forwardFossil fuel, nuclear, and hydroelectric power plants all require a transmission network to transport electricity from where it is generated to where it is used. MCFCs, with their smaller size and portability, can be placed much closer to where the power is needed, reducing the need for transmission lines. With this in mind, explain why MCFCs may have a greater advantage for providing power in developing countries versus in developed countries.arrow_forward

The ordinate is mg CO2 per mile driven per pound mass of the vehicle (called curb weight). For electric vehicles, CO2 emission varies in U.S. states because of the mix of fuels used to generate electricity. If electricity came entirely from solar power, there would be little CO2 associated with its production. California has the lowest CO2 emission for producing electricity and Ohio has the highest because it depends heavily on coal‑fired power plants. The chart does not include CO2 emission from manufacturing vehicles. When normalized for distance driven by each kind of vehicle before it is scrapped, CO2 emission associated with manufacturing electric vehicles is estimated to be 25–75% greater than CO2 emission associated with manufacturing gasoline and diesel vehicles. If manufacturing were included, CO2 emission associated with electric vehicles…arrow_forwardSummarize your understanding about the different sources of energy by filling out the table below.
