Chapter 6.5, Problem 6.11CT
In 2008, a group of scientists met in Monaco to raise awareness about ocean acidification. They issued the Monaco Declaration, calling on the countries of the world to reverse carbon dioxide emissions trends by 2020. Have more recent gatherings of scientists and negotiators created a worldwide policy to address ocean acidification? Do research of your own and summarize your findings.

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?
6.9
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?

x 1018 moles of O2 contained in BIF deposits
Now, let us think about iron (Fe). The total mass of BIF's globally is estimated at 5.0x1017 kg, wherein iron accounts for approximately 35% by
mass. The atomic mass of iron is 55.8 g/mole (0.0558 kg/mole). What is the total…

- 2: Write all the chemical reactions involved in the thinning of ozone layer from the reaction between chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) and ozone layer(O3).arrow_forwardMuch of the U.S. electricity is generated in thermal generating stations that burn fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas. The use of solar-powered generating stations is expected to increase over the next decade and replace older fossil-fuel generating stations. What impact might this change have on greenhouse gas emissions?arrow_forwardThe 24 power plants in Baltimore metro area collectively emit about 40,300 metric tons of CO2 per day (www.carma.org), thereby increasing the level of greenhouse gases in this region. To counter this, environmentalists plan to plant trees in the area. How many moles of CO2 are emitted by these power plants every day? (1 ton =1000kg, molecular weight of CO2 is 44g) If on average 500 moles of glucose are synthesized by a tree each day, how many moles of CO2 can a single tree convert to glucose in a single day? How many trees need to be planted to reabsorb all the CO2 released into the atmosphere every day by these power plants? If a single tree occupies an average of 8.00 x 10-5 sq miles, what percent of the area of Baltimore city needs to be forested to counter the CO2 emitted from power plants alone? (total area of Baltimore city is 92.00 sq miles)arrow_forward

Others, such as water, methane, and carbon dioxide, are naturally produced. Which type of greenhouse gas (human-made or natural) is more difficult to control and eliminate? Which types are easier?

Which of the answer choices can be considered a fact? Select all that apply. Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide will cause mean global temperature to increase by 2 degrees Celsius over the next century. In the past, atmospheric CO₂ levels rose higher than those observed today. The burning of fossil fuels contributes substantially to the ongoing rise of atmospheric CO2- The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased since 1950.arrow_forwardA 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.)arrow_forward
- Briefly describe the difference from PM 2.5 and PM 10 . PM-Particulate Matterarrow_forwardDescribe two ways that people can change their habits and choices to reduce their personal greenhouse gas emissions. In each case, be clear about how the change reduces emissions.arrow_forwardThe chart shows average CO2 emissions for fossil fuel vehicles (gasoline, diesel, and hybrid gas‑electric), as well as electric vehicles. The ordinate is mg CO2 per mile driven per pound mass of the vehicle (called curb weight). For electric vehicles, CO2 emission varies in U.S. states because of the mix of fuels used to generate electricity. If electricity came entirely from solar power, there would be little CO2 associated with its production. California has the lowest CO2 emission for producing electricity and Ohio has the highest because it depends heavily on coal‑fired power plants. The chart does not include CO2 emission from manufacturing vehicles. When normalized for distance driven by each kind of vehicle before it is scrapped, CO2 emission associated with manufacturing electric vehicles is estimated to be 25–75% greater than CO2 emission associated with manufacturing gasoline and diesel vehicles. If manufacturing were included, CO2 emission associated with electric vehicles…arrow_forward
