Chapter 19, Problem 19.22P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Amount of ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ and ${\text{SO}}_{\text{2}}$ produced from coal with $60\text{ \% C}$ and $\text{2 \% S}$ have to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Major greenhouse gases include ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ and ${\text{SO}}_{\text{2}}$ Climate change is due to the greenhouse effect that has led to increase in temperature of planet.  Some prominent greenhouse gases include ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ vapor, ${\text{CO}}_2$, ${\text{CH}}_4$, ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$, $\text{CFC-12}$, ${\text{SF}}_{\text{6}}$ and some halogenated gases.

Conversion factor to convert $\text{kW}$ to $\text{W}$ is as follows:

  $\text{1 kW}={\text{10}}^3\text{ W}$
