Concept introduction:
- Carbon dioxide is one of the major anthropogenic greenhouse gases and its concentration on a large scale, all over the world makes harmful effect to the earth and to the living systems on earth. Its concentration varies in accordance with the changes in season and climate in a particular area.
- Large increase in the number of automobiles, also enhance the concentration of carbon dioxide in a great extent.
- Parts per million (ppm): It is one of the important concentration expressing terms, and which describes grams of solute per million grams of total solutions.

A large sport utility vehicle has a mass of 2.5 * 103 kg. Calculate the mass of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere upon accelerating the SUV from 0.0 mph to 65.0 mph. Assume that the required energy comes from the combustion of octane with 30% efficiency. (Hint: Use KE = 1/2 mv2 to calculate the kineticenergy required for the acceleration.)
15. Carbon dioxide makes up approximately 0.04% of Earth's atmosphere.
If you collect a 2.0-L sample from the atmosphere at sea level (101.33 kPa)
on a warm day at 27 °C, how many CO2 molecules are in your sample? *
a. 5 x 10^20
b. 5 x 10^21
O c. 5x 10^22
d. 5 x 10^23
In Module #4, we discussed the role of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in catalyzing the destruction of O3 in the stratosphere. One example of a CFC that is known to exasperate formation of the hole in the O3 layer is dichlorodifluoromethane (CF2Cl2). In the year 2000, this chemical reached its peak concentration of 2.2 x 10-11 M in the atmosphere. The destruction of CF2Cl2 can be approximated as a first-order process and the 1996 treaty on CFC emissions has eliminated its release into the atmosphere. Given that the rate constant for destruction of CF2Cl2 in the atmosphere is 0.009 yr-1, how long will it take for the concentration of CF2Cl2 to decline to 0.22 x 10-11 M?

- The U.S. is one of several countries committed to reaching “net-zero” carbon emissions by 2050. This means that by 2050, all carbon dioxide emissions must be matched by the amount of carbon dioxide removed from the air.
