The 24 power plants in Baltimore metro area collectively emit about 40,300 metric tons of CO2 per day (www.carma.org), thereby increasing the level of greenhouse gases in this region. To counter this, environmentalists plan to plant trees in the area. How many moles of CO2 are emitted by these power plants every day? (1 ton =1000kg, molecular weight of CO2 is 44g) If on average 500 moles of glucose are synthesized by a tree each day, how many moles of CO2 can a single tree convert to glucose in a single day? How many trees need to be planted to reabsorb all the CO2 released into the atmosphere every day by these power plants? If a single tree occupies an average of 8.00 x 10-5 sq miles, what percent of the area of Baltimore city needs to be forested to counter the CO2 emitted from power plants alone? (total area of Baltimore city is 92.00 sq miles)
