Which of the following energy resources are renewable: solar energy, coal, natural gas, geothermal energy, wind power?arrow_forwardThe best solar panels currently available are about 15% efficient in converting sunlight to electricity. A typical home will use about 40. kWh of electricity per day (1 kWh = 1 kilowatt hour; 1kW = 1000 J/s). Assuming 8.0 hours of useful sunlight per day, calculate the minimum solar panel surface area necessary to provide all of a typical homes electricity.

- Assume that electricity costs 15 cents per kilowatt- hour. Calculate the monthly cost of operating each of the following: a 100 W light bulb, 5 h/day a 600 W refrigerator, 24 h/day a 12,000 W electric range, 1 h/day a 1000 W toaster, 10 min/dayarrow_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_forwardPlease help me with this chemistry question, please include citations/references. Thank you! Discuss and explain at least two problems associated with the burning of fossil fuels. Is fossil fuel finite? What is its origin? What are two examples of some environmentally friendly renewable energy resources?arrow_forward

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_forwardWhat is Donnan's theory? What is its importance in biophysical chemistry?arrow_forward
