The costs of petroleum and natural gas have increased dramatically since the early 1970s, and there is some question about their continued long-term availability. List as many alternative energy sources as you can think of, being as creative as you can, and then go back and suggest possible drawbacks to each one.
Explain why fuel efficiency is relevant and applicable to a daily energy consumer.
Both diesel and gasoline are common fuels for road
vehicles. Which is better for the environment? identify some of the factors that a motorist should bear in mind when trying to make a “green” decision.

O natural gas oil wood coalarrow_forwardFrom the discussion question from Module 5, recall the chemical equation for the combustion of gasoline (iso-octane, C8H18) is: 2C8H18 + 25O2 ---> 16CO2 + 18H2O This means that 2 moles of iso-octane combine with 25 moles of CO2 to produce 16 moles of CO2 and 18 moles of water. This is important for understanding the impact of fossil fuel use on the atmosphere because burning one mole of fuel adds a lot of CO2. Thinking about this in terms of the stoichiometry, and change in concentration, suppose we had 1.0 mole of iso-octane dissolved in 1.0 m3 of atmosphere. That means the concentration of carbon-containing molecules would be 1 mole per cubic meter. However, ff we burned all that iso-octane and convert the C8H18 into CO2 the concentration of carbon-containing molecules increases. How much does the concentration of carbon-containing molecules increase if 1.0 mole of C8H18 in 1.0 m3 of air is converted into CO2 as shown in the chemical equation above?arrow_forwardWhy do you think engineers believe that spraying, and not a steady stream of fuel, is more efficient?arrow_forward
