Answer: 4.64805 pounds of CO₂ was produced

Explanation:

Given that;

wattage = 4694 watt = 4694 /1000 = 4.694 kW

time in use t = 10hrs

CO₂ was produced = ?

Total Energy produced = wattage × time = 4.694 kW × 10hrs = 46.95 kWh

we know that 1 kWh produces 0.99 pounds of CO₂

so

46.95 kWh will produce ⇒ 46.95 kWh × 0.99 = 4.64805 pounds of CO₂

Therefore 4.64805 pounds of CO₂ was produced
