Molecular Products produces three chemicals: B, C, and D. The company begins by purchasing chemical A for a cost of $650 per 100 liters. For an additional cost of $320 and the use of three hours of skilled labor, 100 liters of A can be transformed into 40 liters of C and 60 liters of B. Chemical C can either be sold or processed further. It costs $130 and one hour of skilled labor to process 100 liters of C into 60 liters of D and 40 liters of B. For each chemical, the selling price per 100 liters and the maximum amount (in 100s of liters) that can be sold are listed in the file P04_93.xlsx. A maximum of 200 labor hours is available.

- 9.16 According to Figure 9.2, the total energy supply in the United States in 2016 was 111.261015 Btu. Express this value in joules and in calories. FIGURE 9.2 Energy production and consumption (in quadrillion Btu) in the United States during the year 2016. The discussion in the text explains how to read this complex figure, which contains an enormous amount of information about the energy economy. Data come from the Department of Energy and do not always add up exactly as expected due to rounding and other issues.arrow_forwardThe flashlight in the photo does not use batteries.

- During a recent winter month in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, it was necessary to obtain 3500 kWh of heat provided by a natural gas furnace with 89% efficiency to keep a small house warm (the efficiency of a gas furnace is the percent of the heat produced by combustion that is transferred into the house). (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. What mass of this coal in kilograms will be required to produce the electrical energy necessary to heat the house if the efficiency of generation and distribution is 40%?arrow_forwardIn biological systems, enzymes are used to accelerate the rates of certain biological reactions. Glucoamylase is an enzyme that aids in the conversion of starch to glucose (a sugar that cells use for energy). Experiments show that 1 μg mol of glucoamylase in a 4% starch solution results in a production rate of glucose of 0.6 μg mol/(mL)(min). Determine the production rate of glucose for this system in units of lb mol/(ft3)(day). A. 0.0015 lb mol/(ft3)(day) B. 0.0315 lb mol/(ft3)(day) C. 0.0539 lb mol/(ft3)(day) D. 0.3569 lb mol/(ft3)(day)arrow_forwardThe world population is estimated to be 7.4 x 109. Nauru is the smallest island nation and comprises 1.5 x 10-4% of the world population. If the percentage of left-handed people is approximately 12%, estimate the number of left-handers on the island of Nauru.arrow_forward
