Question
Chapter 7, Problem 52Q
(a)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The factors that motivate Iceland to cut its ties to fossil fuels name should be provided.
Concept introduction:
Fuels: Any substance that gives heat or any other form of energy by burning or reacting with any other substance is called as fuels.
Fossil fuels: - formed by natural processes
These fuels are formed millions of years ago when animals and aquatic animals were buried and compressed at the bottoms of swamps and seas.
Over time, organic matters were changed to fossil fuels by bacterial decay and pressure.
Examples: petroleum (oil), gas and coal.
(b)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The tangible outcomes have resulted to date need to be explain.
Concept introduction:
Electronic Vehicle: A hybrid electronic vehicle augments an electronic vehicle (EV) with a second source of power referred to as the alternative power unit.
Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV): It is relies at least two energy sources, usually an international combustion engine and an electric battery together with motor (or) generator.
It combines one of the energy conversion technologies, one of the energy storage systems a power unit and a vehicle propulsion system. Many combinations are possible although batteries are by far the most popular choice for energy storage.
The combination of conventional and electric and electric propulsion system is believed to offer the possibility of reducing emission and fuel consumption and giving consumers the extended range and converting refueling.
(c)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
How can lessons learned in Iceland be relevant where you live, the reason should be explain.

Over time, organic matters were changed to fossil fuels by bacterial decay and pressure.
Examples: petroleum (oil), gas and coal.
Hydrogen economy: It is advancement of science and technology we realize in order to make our lives comfortable fossil fuels are depending at an alarming rate and will be exhausted soon. The electricity cannot be stored to run automobiles. It is not possible to store and transport nuclear energy. Hydrogen is another alternative source of energy and hence called as Hydrogen Economy.

This is quite impressive given that the atmosphere during Archaean and early Proterozoic times was largely devoid of oxygen! Therefore, this reflects the photosynthetic efficiency of the early biosphere, coupled with its operation over long periods of time. Knowing that the mass of the modern atmosphere is 5.01×1018 kg, of which 21% is oxygen, what is the mass (in kilograms) of oxygen contained within BIFS? 6.9 x 1016 kg of O2 contained in BIF deposits Knowing that the molecular mass of O2 is 32 g/mole (0.032 kg/mole), how many moles of O2 are contained within BIFS? 2.17 x 1018 moles of O2 contained in BIF deposits Now, let us think about iron (Fe). The total mass of BIF's globally is estimated at 5.0x1017 kg, wherein iron accounts for approximately 35% by mass. The atomic mass of iron is 55.8 g/mole (0.0558 kg/mole).
