A styrofoam cup was analyzed in a lab and found to contain 92% by mass carbon. How much carbon can be found in a stack of polystyrene cups with a total mass of 569 grams?
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?
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. Why is it essential for all countries in the world to meet carbon reduction commitments like this
