Textbook Question
Chapter 5.11, Problem 5.24YT
- a. During the extraction of natural gas, the fracturing of shale is done hydraulically rather than with dynamite. What does the term hydraulic mean? Suggest reasons why dynamite wouldn’t work.
- b. How much water is typically injected in a well? What are the ingredients of the “cocktail” that this water contains? How difficult was this information to find? Provide an assessment of the likely reliability of your sources.
- c. Some of the water returns to the surface as waste water. What are some of the options for handling this waste water?

- The carbon dioxide exhaled in the breath of astronauts is often removed from the spacecraft by reaction with lithium hydroxide 2LiOH(s)+CO2(g)Li2CO3(s)+H2O(l) Estimate the grams of lithium hydroxide required per astronaut per day. Assume that each astronaut requires 2.50 103 kcal of energy per day. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 2.50 103 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of CO2 produced and hence the amount of LiOH required. The H for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.arrow_forwardComplete and balance the equations of the following reactions, each of which could be used to remove hydrogen sulfide from natural gas: (a) Ca(OH)2(s)+H2S(g) (b) Na2CO3(aq)+H2S(g)arrow_forward4.60 Why are fuel additives used?arrow_forward
