Question

A heating pad takes 5,657 Watts during each time it is turned on. If you only use it for 28 minutes, how much CO2 was created? Round to 1 decimal.

Answer 1

Answer: 2.6 pounds of CO₂

Explanation:

1 kilowatt per hour produces 0.99 pounds of C02.

The watts used was;

= (5,657 * 28/60 hours) / 1,000

= ‭2,639.93333333

In kilowatts;

= ‭2,639.93333333/1,000

= 2.6399333 kilowatts

CO2 produced;

= 2.6399333 * 0.99

= 2.613533967‬

= 2.6 pounds of CO2
