Answer:

CO₂ ( produced) = 6477,68 grs = 6,48 Kgs

Explanation:

If the househoñd item uses 433 watts of electricity

In 1 hour will consume 433 wh or 0.433 Kwh

In 34 hours each week consumes 0,433* 34 will consume 14,722 Kwh

Considering that 1 Kwh produces between 430- 450 grs of CO₂

( we will take 440 grs per Kwh )

The CO₂ produced in a week for such device is 440* 14,722

CO₂ ( produced) = 6477,68 grs = 6,48 Kgs
