The use of the British thermal unit (Btu {\rm Btu}) is common in much engineering work. (1 Btu {\rm Btu} = 1054J {\rm J}) A Btu {\rm Btu} is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 lb {\rm lb} of water by 1 ∘ F ^\circ {\rm F}. How many quads of energy does world energy consumption quantity represent?
5.11
lol we go to the same school. i don't wanna master chemistry any more
551
5.51 x 10^5 quads
5.51¡Á105 quads
To determine the number of quads of energy represented by world energy consumption quantity, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the units to get the energy consumption in BTUs.
Given that 1 quad = 1015 BTUs, we can convert world energy consumption to BTUs by multiplying it by the conversion factor:
World energy consumption = 590 quadrillion BTUs
Step 2: Convert BTUs to joules.
Given that 1 BTU = 1054 joules, we can convert BTUs to joules by multiplying it by the conversion factor:
World energy consumption in joules = 590 quadrillion BTUs * 1054 joules/BTU
Step 3: Convert joules to quads.
Given that 1 quad = 1015 joules, we can convert joules to quads by dividing it by the conversion factor:
World energy consumption in quads = (590 quadrillion BTUs * 1054 joules/BTU) / 1015 joules/quad
By performing the calculations, we can determine the value of world energy consumption in quads.
