Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The factors that motivate Iceland to cut its ties to fossil fuels name should be provided.
Concept introduction:
Fuels: Any substance that gives heat or any other form of energy by burning or reacting with any other substance is called as fuels.
Fossil fuels: - formed by natural processes
These fuels are formed millions of years ago when animals and aquatic animals were buried and compressed at the bottoms of swamps and seas.
Over time, organic matters were changed to fossil fuels by bacterial decay and pressure.
Examples: petroleum (oil), gas and coal.
(b)
Interpretation:
The tangible outcomes have resulted to date need to be explain.
Concept introduction:
Electronic Vehicle: A hybrid electronic vehicle augments an electronic vehicle (EV) with a second source of power referred to as the alternative power unit.
Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV): It is relies at least two energy sources, usually an international combustion engine and an electric battery together with motor (or) generator.
It combines one of the energy conversion technologies, one of the energy storage systems a power unit and a vehicle propulsion system. Many combinations are possible although batteries are by far the most popular choice for energy storage.
The combination of conventional and electric and electric propulsion system is believed to offer the possibility of reducing emission and fuel consumption and giving consumers the extended range and converting refueling.
(c)
Interpretation:
How can lessons learned in Iceland be relevant where you live, the reason should be explain.

Hydrogen economy: It is advancement of science and technology we realize in order to make our lives comfortable fossil fuels are depending at an alarming rate and will be exhausted soon. The electricity cannot be stored to run automobiles. It is not possible to store and transport nuclear energy. Hydrogen is another alternative source of energy and hence called as Hydrogen Economy.

How much carbon can be found in a stack of polystyrene cups with a total mass of 569 grams?arrow_forwardHow is crude oil extracted from the earth's crust? A. drilling and pumping B. burning C. fractional distillationarrow_forwardWarming of the atmosphere is due to the greenhouse effect. What is responsible for this phenomenon? a. The CO2 level in the atmosphere is increased b. The global temperature is decreased tremendously c. There is a widespread destruction on the green color of plants. d. The amount of oxygen in the atmosphere is greatly affected.arrow_forward
- 4. Carbon Monoxide is the most common air pollutant. a. How is it formed? b. What are its health impacts?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_forwardTo answer this question, you may need access to the periodic table of elements. Which of these would likely be the best conductor of electricity? a.) NO₂ b.) H₂ c.) CaCl₂ d.) H₂Oarrow_forward
- 2. Calculate the minimum amount of air required for the complete combustion of 150 kgs of fuel containing 70 % Carbon, 15 % hydrogen, 5 % sulfur and the rest nitrogen by weight.arrow_forwardFALBERTA It is estimated that the total amount of oxygen (O2) contained in BIFS is equivalent to 6.6% of the oxygen present in the modern atmosphere. This is quite impressive given that the atmosphere during Archaean and early Proterozoic times was largely devoid of oxygen! Therefore, this reflects the photosynthetic efficiency of the early biosphere, coupled with its operation over long periods of time. Knowing that the mass of the modern atmosphere is 5.01×1018 kg, of which 21% is oxygen, what is the mass (in kilograms) of oxygen contained within BIFS? 6.9 x 1016 kg of O2 contained in BIF deposits Knowing that the molecular mass of O2 is 32 g/mole (0.032 kg/mole), how many moles of O2 are contained within BIFS? 2.17 x 1018 moles of O2 contained in BIF deposits Now, let us think about iron (Fe). The total mass of BIF's globally is estimated at 5.0x1017 kg, wherein iron accounts for approximately 35% by mass. The atomic mass of iron is 55.8 g/mole (0.0558 kg/mole). What is the total…arrow_forwardIn addition to burning, what issues do fossil fuels cause in the environment? Provide examples. How can extracting and transporting fossil fuels lead to damage?arrow_forward
- Identify and analyze the way fossil fuel combustion has changed the composition of Earth's atmosphere, and the way this change has affected climate.arrow_forwardAll of the work for this question has been done. The Professor asked an additional question that I am struggling with. The question is for part 3, “Why is there no nitrogen in the media?” Can you please explain?
