Direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs) have shown some promise as a viable option for providing "green" energy to small electrical devices. Calculate Eº for the reaction that takes place in DEFCs: C2H5OH(1) - 302(g) - 2002(g) + 3H2O(1) Use the following values. AGⓇH2O(1) =-237 kJ/mol AG°O2(g) = 0 kJ/mol AG°C02()=-394 kJ/mol AG°C2H5OH(1) =-175 kJ/mol. Eº = V

Griffin Industries is evaluating whether to invest in solar panels to provide some of the electrical needs of its main office building in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The solar panel project would cost $700,000 and would provide cost savings in its utility bills of $65,000 per year. It is anticipated that the solar panels would have a life of 15 years and would have no residual value. 1. Calculate the payback period in years of the solar panel project. 2. If...
a) Providing an expression, estimate the electrical potential energy of a Potassium ion and a Chlorine ion separated by a distance of 0.36nm b) State at least one important assumption explicit to your expression. c) For ionic molecules, provide an expression that defines the relationship between the electric potential energy and the bond disassociation energy. d) From the information provided above, justifying your answers with fundamental arguments, what would you expect for i) the electrical potential energy and ii) the...
1. What are the risks associated with high protein diets? 2. Some of the problems associated with protein intake is the saturated fats often food in animal sources of protein. What are some things you could do in your diet to reduce this risk?
What are some of the problems associated with development along the Mekong River ?
Sunlight hits the solar cell below and three things happen: some light is reflected by the solar cell; some light is converted to electrical energy; and the air around the solar cell heats up a bit. The energy flow diagram for the system that includes the sun and a photovoltaic (or solar) cell is shown below on the right A. Which form(s) of energy belong to the system? Note that Elight represents the light reflected by the solar cell. (Select...
