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?
Concrete is prepared by roasting the mineral calcium carbonate, CaCO3, to drive off CO2 and produce calcium oxide, CaO. The chemical equation for this reaction is:
CaCO3 ==> CaO + CO2
The Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River in Washington State was built using a volume of concrete of approximately 1.0 x 107 m3. If concrete has a density of 2.4 x 103 kg/m3, and assuming concrete is 100% by volume CaO, how much CO2 was released producing the concrete used to build the dam?
How many moles of oxygen are consumed in burning 1.6 moles of Benzene, C6H6?
