- (b) There is no strong scientific evidence that CFCs play a significant role in the catalytic destruction of ozone.
- (c) CFC molecules activate chlorine atoms into their catalytic action.
- (d) CFC molecules migrate to the upper stratosphere where they generate chlorine atoms upon being destroyed by ultraviolet light.

Plants grow in many different shapes and sizes. Much of their shape depends on an internal structure that is composed of
carbon-containing molecules such as cellulose and lignin. Plants that have a strong internal structure can grow larger than other
plants because their structure can support their size.
Plants obtain the majority of the carbon necessary for building these structural molecules from -
O air
O microorganisms
O soil
O water

- Yazid wants to make compost from leaves, sawdust, and food scraps. Leaves have 2% N, C:N 22.5, and MC 77%. Sawdust has 30% C, C:N 300, and MC 20%, whereas food scraps have 2% N, C:N 20, and 50% MC. If the amount of leaves used is 15 kg, determine how much food scraps and sawdust should be added to get a compost mixture with an ideal ratio of C:N 30:1 and moisture content 60%?arrow_forward(a) A commercial 737 jet transporting 143 passengersand 5 crew members from Kansas City (MCI) to Baltimore (BWI) burned 11,800 lb (about 1700 gallons)of Jet A fuel en route. Jet A fuel is kerosine based,consisting primarily of CnH2n+2 hydrocarbons, withn: 5 6 to 16, so the carbonhydrogen ratio is close to12. During this flight, how much CO2 was releasedinto the atmosphere? Assume the combustion of thefuel was complete, so all the fuel was burned to formCO2 and H2O. Give both the mass of CO2 produced(in kg and in lbs) and the volume it would occupy at298 K, 1 atm.(b) How much CO2 would be released into the atmosphere if those passengers and crew made the tripinstead, in pairs, in hybrid cars at 40 miles per gallon.Assume the density of the gasoline is 0.75 kg L21andthat carbon and hydrogen dominate the compositionin a ratio of 1:2.

- Forty-eight years ago, CO2 atmospheric concentratio was 351 ppm and today, it is 450 ppm. How much is the increase in CO2 concentration in ppm and metric tons? Each ppm is equivalent to 2.13 billion metric tons of CO2. CO2 emissions worldwide is indicated below, showing that 40 years after the starting record time, CO2 emissions were at 225 billion metric tons. However, CO2 atmospheric concentration did not increase by 225 billion metric tons but by 168.27 billion metric tons only.arrow_forwardThe Ozone layer is a layer of the atmosphere that is heavy with Ozone.
