Chapter 21, Problem 40QP

Calcium oxide or quicklime   ( CaO ) is used in steelmaking, cement manufacture, and pollution control. It is prepared by the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate:

CaCO 3 ( s ) CaO ( s ) + CO 2 ( g )

Calculate the yearly release of CO , (in kg) to the atmosphere if the annual production of CaO in the United States is 1.7   ×   10 10 kg.

The molar heat capacity of a diatomic molecule is 29.1 J/K · mol. Assuming the atmosphere contains only nitrogen gas and there is no heat loss, calculate the total heat intake (in kJ) if the atmosphere warms up by 3.0°C during the next 50 years. Given that there are 2.8 x 10²20 moles of diatomic molecule present, how many kilograms of ice (at the North and South Poles) will this quantity of heat melt at 0° C? (The molar heat of fusion of ice is 6.01 kJ/mol.) Total heat intake: × 10 kJ Ice melted: × 10 |kg (Enter your answer in scientific notation.)
The citizens of the world burn the fossil fuel equivalent of 7 * 1012 kg of petroleum per year. Assume that all of this petroleum is in the form of octane (C8H18) and calculate how much CO2 (in kg) the world produces from fossil fuel combustion per year. (Hint: Begin by writing a balanced equation for the combustion of octane.) If the atmosphere currently contains approximately3 * 1015 kg of CO2, how long will it take for the world’s fossil fuel combustion to double the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide?
Ammonium perchlorate (NH4ClO4) is a solid rocket fuel that was used in space shuttles. When heated at 200oC, it decomposes to a variety of gases, with the most important being N2(g), Cl2(g), O2(g), and H2O (g). Write a balanced chemical equation for the decomposition of NH4ClO4, assuming that only the products listed above are generated. The sudden appearance of hot gaseous products in a small initial volume leads to a rapid increase in pressure and temperature, which give the rockets its thrust. What total pressure of gas would be produced at 800 oC by igniting 7.00x105 kg of NH4ClO4 and allowing it to expand to a volume of 6.4x106L? (assume ideal gas behavior). Calculate the molar fraction of Cl2 and its partial pressure.
