One gallon of gasoline in an automobile's engine produces an average of 9.5 kg of carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas; that is, it promotes the warming of Earth's atmosphere. Calculate the annual production of carbon dioxide in kg if there are 40 million cars in the United States and each car covers a distance of 5000 miles at a consumption rate of 20 miles per gallon.

You are asked to calibrate a 25 mL volumetric pipet. You determine that the temperature of your distilled water is exactly 24.5 degrees Celsius. You carefully determined the mass of a clean dry beaker and found that it was 57.5513 g. You pulled water up to the mark and transferred this to the beaker and found that the new mass was 82.9344 g. What is the actual volume of the pipet? The density of water at 24.5 degrees Celsius is 0.997983 g/mL.

The average micro-nano plastic concentration in bottled water was about 2.4×10^5 particles per liter of bottled water, about 90% of which were nano-sized particles. Assuming that each nanoparticle can be approximated as a sphere with a diameter of 100 nm and that the average density of nanoparticles is 1.2 g/cm^3, estimate the mass of nanoparticles ingested if someone drinks all of their recommended 64 fluid ounces of water per day via bottled water every day for a year. Provide your answer is units of nanograms (ng).

Every year in the United States, about 12 million tons of magnesium metal are used to manufacture the sacrificial anodes that prevent the corrosion of iron structures. The required magnesium can be obtained by processing seawater. Seawater has a density of 1.025 g/mL and one kilogram of seawater contains 1.4 g of magnesium. What volume of seawater, in cubic kilometers, would need to be processed to provide theU.S. with a one-year supply of magnesium? 1 ton = 2000 lbs. ...
