Coal
is a fossil fuel which is general term for buried combustile geologic deposits of organic materials formed from decayed plants and animals that have been converted to crude oil.

In the United States today, nearly all of our electricity is produced by fossil-fuel power plants burning coal or natural gas, nuclear power plants, and hydroelectric power plants. Using the Internet, determine the percent contributions of these types of electricity generation to the U.S. total. For each of the four types, determine at least three significant environmental considerations associated with it and how such environmental aspects affect the respective plant design, operation, and cost. Write a report with at least...

The world burns approximately 3.8×1012 kg of fossil fuel per year. Part A: Use the combustion of octane as the representative reaction and determine the mass of carbon dioxide (the most significant greenhouse gas) formed per year. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. Part B: The current concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is approximately 380 ppm (by volume). By what percentage does the concentration increase each year due to fossil fuel combustion?...

Poppy plants were exposed to the inductive photoperiod with some or all leaves covered with aluminum foil during the induction time. The results are shown in Table B. What do these results indicate about the photoperiodic signal receptor? Table B Condition Percent flowering All leaves intact 100 All leaves covered 0 All but one leaf covered 100

The emission of NO2 by fossil fuel combustion can be prevented by injecting gaseous urea into the combustion mixture. The urea reduces NO (which oxidizes in air to form NO2) according to the following reaction: 2CO(NH2)2(g)+4NO(g)+O2(g)→4N2(g)+2CO2(g)+4H2O(g) Suppose that the exhaust stream of an automobile has a flow rate of 2.33 L/s at 652 K and contains a partial pressure of NO of 10.5 torr . What total mass of urea is necessary to react completely with the NONO formed during...

A fossil-fuel steam power plant operates at about 50% of Carnot thermal efficiency. It has been suggested that the air pollution from a plant that operates at 1000 F would contribute 1/2 the pollution (per ton of coal burned) that the present system that operates at about 1500 F. The heat rejection temperature is 70 F. For the same electrical output what is the percent difference in the pollution resulting from the combustion? Assume that the thermal energy released by...
