Carbon dioxide emissions associated with a one-night stay in a hotel room are calculated at 29.53 kg of CO2 per room day for an average hotel. The 200 rooms of your hotel are all occupied for two days during a college football game. How much CO2 did the guests and hotel release into the atmosphere?
A large sport utility vehicle has a mass of 2.5 * 103 kg. Calculate the mass of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere upon accelerating the SUV from 0.0 mph to 65.0 mph. Assume that the required energy comes from the combustion of octane with 30% efficiency. (Hint: Use KE = 1/2 mv2 to calculate the kineticenergy required for the acceleration.)

- 4.60 Why are fuel additives used?arrow_forwardName a favorable effect of the global increase of CO2 in the atmosphere.arrow_forward62 Ammonium dinitramide (ADN), NH4N(NO2)2, was considered as a possible replacement for aluminium chloride as the oxidizer in the solid fuel booster rockets used to launch the space shuttle. When detonated by a spark, AND rapidly decomposes to produce a gaseous mixture of N2,O2, and H2O. (This is not a combustion reaction. The ADN is the only reactant.) The reaction releases a lot of heat, so the gases are initially formed at high temperature and pressure. The thrust of the rocket results mainly from the expansion of this gas mixture. Suppose a 2.3-kg sample of ADN is denoted and decomposes completely to give N2,O2, and H2O. If the resulting gas mixture expands until it reaches a temperature of 100°C and a pressure of 1.00 atm, what volume will it occupy? Is your answer consistent with the proposed use of ADN as a rocket fuel?arrow_forward
