CORRET ANSWERS SOLUTION GUARANTEED
GRADE A+
Central distribution - ANSWER-Uses coal, nuclear, hydropower, or gas powered plants to generate and
transmit electricity over long distances; less efficient than distributed generation for transmitting
electricity
Distributed generation - ANSWER-Reduces the amount of energy lost in transmitting electricity, as
electricity is produced very near to the place where it is used
Cogeneration power plant - ANSWER-Generates both electric power and useful thermal energy from the
same fuel source
Natural gas - ANSWER-In a gas turbine, what fuel is burned to run the turbine?
Global carbon cycle - ANSWER-Carbon dioxide in atmosphere slowly dissolves in ocean; carbon dioxide
in atmosphere is incorporated in the earth as carbonate rocks; carbon dioxide is absorbed by plants
through photosynthesis
Kerogen - ANSWER-Starting point of the formation of fossil fuels is the transformation of decaying
matter to...
False - ANSWER-True or false? Kerogen derived from higher plants gets converted to crude oil and
natural gas when buried inside the earth for millions of years
False - ANSWER-True or false? Kerogen are formed by the transformation of inorganic matter into an
insoluble, polymeric material
False - ANSWER-True or false? Kerogen produced from higher plants gets converted into natural gas
Kerogen - ANSWER-What is produced from algae, planktons, and higher plants with the help of
decomposition by bacteria?
, .8 - ANSWER-How many hydrogen atoms are present in coal for one carbon atom?
Natural Gas - ANSWER-Has the highest heating value per pound
False - ANSWER-True or false? Lifetime predictions for a fossil fuel are done based on available
resources
Coal and natural gas - ANSWER-Abundantly available fossil fuel reserves in the U.S.
25% - ANSWER-Percentage of world coal reserves the U.S. possesses
False - ANSWER-True or false? The U.S. has large crude oil reserves
False - ANSWER-True or false? Most of the natural gas reserves in the world are located in the U.S.
Metric tons - ANSWER-Coal reserves are measured in....
Cubic feet - ANSWER-Quantities of petroleum are measured in...
False - ANSWER-True or false? The U.S. is the largest exporter of coal
Bituminous - ANSWER-Most coal found in the U.S. is...
Density - ANSWER-Not measured during Proximate analysis of coal; defined by mass per unit volume
Porosity - ANSWER-Property not used in ranking of coal
False - ANSWER-True or false? Proximate analysis exactly measures the elemental composition of coal
