A young inventor approaches you with their invention: they propose a solar-powered
water-bottle, which condenses the humidity in the air as drinking water. The bottle has
a total volume of 2 L and features a rectangular solar panel (10 cm x 20 cm).
Can you cover your daily water-requirements (2 L) with this bottle? Calculate the time
required for the water bottle to fill completely given the following parameters:
(Assume the device operates at 100% efficiency.)
2. Two students weigh a gelatin capsule (0.112g). Next they add pieces of aluminum-zinc alloy to the capsule and weigh the capsule and alloy (0.271g). They weigh out an empty beaker (141.209) and begin the experiment. After the reaction, they determine the mass of the beaker (with displaced water) to be 307.712g. The temperature of the water was 21 degrees Celsius and the barometric pressure was 745.9 mmHg. Fill the calculation section of the table on the following page.
Calculate the amount of heat needed to boil 126. g of water (H₂O), beginning from a temperature of 99.3 °C. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. Also,

(a) Assume that natural gas is pure methane and determine the volume of natural gas in cubic feet that was required to heat the house. The average temperature of the natural gas was 56 F; at this temperature and a pressure of 1 atm, natural gas has a density of 0.68 1 g/L. (b) How many gallons of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) would be required to replace the natural gas used? Assume the LPG is liquid propane [ C3H8 : density, 0.5318 g/mL; enthalpy of combustion, 2219 Id/mo for the formation of CO2(g) and H2O(l) ] and the furnace used to burn the LPG has the same efficiency as the gas furnace. (c) What mass of carbon dioxide is produced by combustion of the methane used to heat the house? (d) What mass of water is produced by combustion of the methane used to heat the house? (e) What volume of air is required to provide the oxygen for the combustion of the methane used to heat the house? Air contains 23% oxygen by mass. The average density of air during the month was 1.22 g/L. (f) How many kilowatt—hours ( 1kWh=3.6106 J) of electricity would be required to provide the heat necessary to heat the house? Note electricity is 100% efficient in producing heat inside a house. (g) Although electricity is 100% efficient in producing heat inside a house, production and distribution of electricity is not 100% efficient. The efficiency of production and distribution of electricity produced in a coal-fired power plant is about 40%. A certain type of coal provides 2.26 kWh per pound upon combustion.
