- · A hypothesis about CO2 emissions.arrow_forwardConsider two coal-fired power plants that generate 5 x 1012 J of electricity daily. Plant A has an overall net efficiency of 38%. Plant B, a proposed replacement, would operate at higher temperatures with an overall net efficiency of 46%. The grade of coal used releases 30 kJ of heat per gram. Assume that coal is pure carbon. a. If 1000 kg of coal costs $30, what is the difference in daily fuel costs for the two plants? b. How many fewer grams of CO2 are emitted daily by Plant B, assuming complete combustion?arrow_forwardThe sun supplies about 1 kilowatt(s) of energy for each square meter of surface area (1 kW/m2kW/m2, where a watt = 1 J/sJ/s). Plants produce the equivalent of about 0.19 gg of sucrose (C12H22O11C12H22O11) per hour per square meter.arrow_forward
- The sun supplies energy at a rate of about 1.0 kilowatt per square meter of surface area (1 watt = 1 J/s). The plants in an agricultural field produce the equivalent of 23 kg of sucrose (C12H22 O11) per hour per hectare (1 ha = 10,000 m²). Assuming that sucrose is produced by the reaction 12CO₂(g) + 11H₂O(l) → C12H22 O11 (8) + 1202 (9) AH = 5640 kJ calculate the percentage of sunlight used to produce the sucrose - that is, determine the efficiency of photosynthesis in this field.

Assume that all of this petroleum is in the form of octane (C8H18) and calculate how much CO2 (in kg) the world produces from fossil fuel combustion per year. (Hint: Begin by writing a balanced equation for the combustion of octane.) If the atmosphere currently contains approximately3 * 1015 kg of CO2, how long will it take for the world’s fossil fuel combustion to double the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide?arrow_forwardMuch of the U.S. electricity is generated in thermal generating stations that burn fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas. The use of solar-powered generating stations is expected to increase over the next decade and replace older fossil-fuel generating stations. What impact might this change have on greenhouse gas emissions?arrow_forward

The market value of the bonds declined to $124,000 by December 31, 2023. Goofy reclassified this investment as trading securities in December of 2024 when the market value had risen to $163,000. What effect on 2024 net income should be reported by Goofy for the Crazy Company bonds?
