It is estimated that the total amount of oxygen (O2) contained in BIFs is equivalent to 6.6% of the oxygen present in the modern atmosphere. This is quite impressive given that the atmosphere during Archaean and early Proterozoic times was largely devoid of oxygen! Therefore, this reflects the photosynthetic efficiency of the early biosphere, coupled with its operation over long periods of time. Knowing that the mass of the modern atmosphere is 5.01×1018 kg, of which 21% is oxygen, what is the mass (in kilograms) of oxygen contained within BIFs?
Answer x 1016 kg of O2 contained in BIF deposits
Knowing that the molecular mass of O2 is 32 g/mole (0.032 kg/mole), how many moles of O2 are contained within BIFs?
Answer x 1018 moles of O2 contained in BIF deposits

For simplicity, let's that say the system only consists of chipmunks which eat plants, snakes which eat the chipmunks, and hawks which eat the snakes. The plants produce 5,550,000 kcal of energy, the chipmunks have 780,000 kcal of energy available, and the snakes have 48,000 kcal of energy available. If each hawk needs 200 kcal of energy on average, how many hawks can this ecosystem support? Use the 10% rule.arrow_forwardWhy is Megavoltage therapy better to treat cancer than superficial therapy?
