- Much 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(A) if both sentences are true, (B) if both sentences are false, (C) if the first sentence is true but the second is false, and (D) if the first sentence is false but the second is true. 1. Radioactive wastes, like uranium, must be handled and disposed of according to special regulations designed to protect people and the environment. Nuclear power plants produce too much greenhouse gases due to the burning of uranium. 2. In the experiment on determining the dissolved oxygen concentration of a water sample, the compound used to acidify the sample was hydrochloric acid. An acidic solution will have a pH greater than 7. 3. Pure water has a slight blue coloration that goes deeper as the thickness of the sample increases. Water follows the temperature of its surrounding. 4. The solubility of oxygen in water increases at colder temperatures, and decreases at higher temperatures. DO can be measured in milligrams of oxygen (O2) per liter of water. 5. An atom is composed of three subatomic…arrow_forwardState the similarities between solar and chemical forms of generating electricity.arrow_forward
- The 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. (See Exercise 124 for the energy rate supplied by the sun.)arrow_forwardExplain why hydroelectric power and wind power are indirect forms of solar energy.arrow_forwardMarie Curie was born in Poland but studied and carried out her research in Paris. In 1903, she shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with H. Becquerel and her husband Pierre for their discovery of radioactivity. (In 1911 she received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of two new chemical elements, radium and polonium, the latter named for her homeland, Poland.) They and others observed that a radioactive substance could emit three types of radiation: alpha (), beta (), and gamma (). If the radiation from a radioactive source is passed between electrically charged plates, some particles are attached to the positive plate, some to the negative plate, and others feel no attraction. Which particles are positively charged, which are negatively charged, and which have no charge? Of the two charged particles, which has the most mass? Radioactivity. Alpha (), beta I(), and gamma () rays from a radioactive element are separated by passing them between electrically charged plates.arrow_forward
- Fossil 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_forwardBucks McGee, after being poisoned, is currently being treated in the hospital with an antidote- the chemical Fe-(CN)18. The compound is so intensely coloured that even a small amount of it makes for a black or dark blue suspension. Given that this antidote has never before been administered at the hospital, none of the doctors or nurses have experience with it. There is one very old bottle of Fe-(CN)18 pills in the medicine store-room, but the label is worn and the units are in the old, archaic British Apothecaries' system which has unusual units like drachms, scruples, grains, and mites: 453.6 grams (g) = 1 pound (Ib) = 12 ounces (3) = 96 drachms (3) = 288 scruples (3) = 5760 grains (gr) = 115200 mites (m)arrow_forwardThe total power used by humans worldwide is approximately 15 TW (terawatts). Sunlight striking Earth provides 1.336 kW per square meter (assuming no clouds). The surface area of Earth is approximately 197,000,000 square miles. How much of Earth's surface would we need to cover with solar energy collectors to power the planet for use by all humans? Assume that the solar energy collectors can only convert 10 % of the available sunlight into useful power.arrow_forward
