Uranium fuel pellets used in nuclear power station produce far more energy per kilogram than the energy produced by burning coal How much coal has to be burnt to produce the same amount of energy?
1 kg uranium 235 = 3 000 t coal
Why use coal as a energy?
Coal is abundant and easy to harvest from the earth to produce electricity relative to nuclear energy. Solar energy is abundant but difficult to harvest compared to coal.
How does coal produce energy?
coal is burnt and that produces energy
Where does the energy of coal come from?
Coal energy comes from the sun. The coal is fossilized vegetation that grew in the sunshine eons ago. The vegetation took up the solar energy using photosynthesis and chlorophyll to produce green matter
How much of our energy is coal?
22.9%
What is renewable alternative to coal?
You can use many different things. some examples are: Bio-Fuel (still in development) Wind (not as reliable as coal) solar (doesn't produce as much energy as coal) hydro (doesn't produce as much energy as coal)
Uranium fuel pellet used in nuclear power stations produce far more energy per kilogram than the energy produced by burning coal How much coal has to be burnt to produce the same amount of energy as?
1 kg of U-235 will produce as much energy as 1500 tons of coal
Is burning coal mechanical energy?
Burning coal is thermal energy. It can be used to produce mechanical energy.
How much coal has to be burned to produce the same amount of energy as is generated by a kilogram of uranium fuel pellet?
About 1500 tons of coal
Uranium fuel pellets used in nuclear power station produce far more energy per kilogram than the energy produced by burning coal How much coal has to be burnt to produce the same amount of energy?
1 kg uranium 235 = 3 000 t coal
What does coal and water have in common?
they both can produce energy.
What energy source would produce the most carbon dioxide?
Industrailisation.
What kind of energy does coal produce?
A coal plant can produce different amount of energy. It depends on the size of the plant.
Why use coal as a energy?
Coal is abundant and easy to harvest from the earth to produce electricity relative to nuclear energy. Solar energy is abundant but difficult to harvest compared to coal.
How does coal produce energy?
coal is burnt and that produces energy
When the energy conversions that occur when coal is formed and then burned to produce thermal energy?
It turns into energy
What is a substance that can burns in order to produce heat or energy?
coal
