3. In 2008, Americans generated 250 million tons of nonhazardous municipal solid waste. Of that waste, • 54.2 percent was discarded
• 33.2 percent was recovered
• 12.6 percent was burned with energy recovery at 590 kWh of electricity per ton
Fill in the table to answer the following:
• How many tons were discarded, and what is the method by which solid waste is discarded?
• How many tons were recovered, and what are the methods of recovery?
• How many tons were burned, what was the method for producing electricity, and how much electricity was generated?
Discuss the positive and negative environmental impacts of eliminating one of the three endpoints.

Astudent made the lewis dot diagram of a compound as shown. mg is written with two dots shown on its top. an o is written on each side of mg. each o has six dots around it. an arrow is shown from one dot on mg toward the vacant space around the o on the right. another arrow is shown from the other dot on mg toward the vacant space around the o on the left. the title of the art is students lewis dot model. what is the error in the lewis dot diagram? an o atom should transfer all its six electrons to mg because the formula is mgo. both electrons of mg should be transferred to one o atom because the formula is mgo. the electrons should be transferred from each o atom to mg because mg has fewer electrons. the number of dots around mg should be four because it has to transfer two electrons to each o.
