(a)
Interpretation:
An average sized tree absorbs 25 to 50 pounds of carbon dioxide each year. In the United States, the average annual per capita
Concept introduction:
Carbon dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC) was an organization within the US department of energy.
CDIAC publishes a rank list of the world’s countries by total
In per capita method, all the carbon emission from a given area will be added then the value that we get will divide (per) by the number of people living it in that area (capita).

Chemistry In Context
- You place 1.85 grams of wood in a vessel with 9.45 grams of air and seal the vessel. Then you heat the vessel strongly so that the wood burns. In burning, the wood yields ash and gases. After the experiment, you weigh the ash and find that its mass is 0.28 gram. What is the mass of the gases in the vessel at the end of the experiment?arrow_forwardA piece of metal wire has a volume of 20.2 cm3 and a mass of 159 g. What is the density of the metal? We know that the metal is manganese, iron, or nickel, and these have densities of 7.21 g/cm3 7.87 g/cm3, and 8.90 g/cm3, respectively. From which metal is the wire made?arrow_forwardercise 9.5 In Example 9.6 we answered one of the questions we posed in the introduction to this chapter. Now let’s see if you can answer the other question posed there. Determine what mass of carbon monoxide and what mass of hydrogen are required to form 6.0 kg of methanol by the reaction :math>CO(g)+2H2(g)CH3OH(l)arrow_forward
- A sample of a gaseous substance at 25C and 0.862 atm has a density of 2.26 g/L. What is the molecular weight of the substance?arrow_forwardA volume of carbon dioxide gas, CO2, equal to 20.0 L was collected at 23C and 1.00 atm pressure. What would be the volume of carbon dioxide collected at 23C and 0.830 atm?arrow_forwardExercise 2.9A student wants to identify the main component in a commercial liquid cleaner. He finds that 35.8 mL of the cleaner weighs 28.1 g. Of the following possibilities, which is the main component of the cleaner? Substance Density, g/cm3 Chloroform 1.483 diethyl ether 0.7 14 isopropyl alcohol 0.785 toluene 0.867arrow_forward
- The main reaction of a charcoal grill is C(s) + O2(g) CO2(g). Which of the statements below are incorrect? Why? a 1 atom of carbon reacts with 1 molecule of oxygen to produce 1 molecule of CO2. b 1 g of C reacts with 1 g of O2 to produce 2 grams of CO2. c 1 g of C reacts with 0.5 g of O2 to produce 1 g of CO2. d 12 g of C reacts with 32 g of O2 to produce 44 g of CO2. e 1 mol of C reacts with 1 mol of O2 to produce 1 mol of CO2. f 1 mol of C reacts with 0.5 mol of O2 to produce 1 mol of CO2. g harrow_forwardCalculate the density of helium, He, in grams per liter at 21C and 752 mmHg. The density of air under these conditions is 1.188 g/L. What is the difference in mass between l liter of air and 1 liter of helium? (This mass difference is equivalent to the buoyant, or lifting, force of helium per liter.)arrow_forwardercise 10.1 How many calories of energy correspond to 28.4 J?arrow_forward
- A balloon contains 5.41 dm3 of helium, He, at 24C and 101.5 kPa. Suppose the gas in the balloon is heated to 35C. If the helium pressure is now 102.8 kPa, what is the volume of the gas?arrow_forwardExercise 2.1 Write the numbers 357 and 0.0055 in scientific notation. If you are having difficulty with scientific notation at this point, reread the Appendix.arrow_forwardYou are working in the office of a precious metals buyer. A miner brings you a nugget of metal that he claims is gold. You suspect that the metal is a form of fools gold, called marcasite, that is composed of iron and sulfur. In the back of your office, you have a chunk of pure gold. What simple experiments could you perform to determine whether the miners nugget is gold?arrow_forward
