Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas that is mainly responsible for global warming (the greenhouse effect). The burning of fossil fuels is a major cause of the increased concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is also the end product of metabolism. A general overall equation for this very complex process represents the degradation of glucose (C,H12O6) to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H20). C,H1206 + 602 → 6CO2 + 6H20 Using glucose as an example of food, calculate the annual human production of CO2 in grams, assuming that each person consumes 4.69 × 102 g of glucose per day. The world's population is 6.50 billion and there are 365 days in a year. x 10 Enter your answer in scientific notation.

Balance the equation below such that it has the smallest, whole-number coefficients. CH3CH2CH2CH2OH + O2(g) ® CO2(g) + H2O(g)
Ammonia (NH3) is naturally produced through the decomposition of organic material as wellas being high in wastewater discharged to natural waters. In the environment it is oxidizedto form nitrite (NO2-), and nitrite is then oxidized to form nitrate (NO3-) in a process callednitrification. The balanced equations are given below:2NH3 + 3O2 → 2NO2- + 2H+ + 2H202NO2- + O2 → 2NO3-a) Assuming complete oxidation, what is the theoretical oxygen demand to convert100mg/L of ammonia to nitrate (i.e., how much oxygen is necessary)?
