Forty-eight years ago, CO2 atmospheric concentratio was 351 ppm and today, it is 450 ppm. How much is the increase in CO2 concentration in ppm and metric tons? Each ppm is equivalent to 2.13 billion metric tons of CO2. CO2 emissions worldwide is indicated below, showing that 40 years after the starting record time, CO2 emissions were at 225 billion metric tons. However, CO2 atmospheric concentration did not increase by 225 billion metric tons but by 168.27 billion metric tons only.
You are studying a woodland ecosystem with four trophic levels. 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.

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?
