Chapter 5, Problem 112DIA
Climate scientists have become increasingly concerned that rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (produced by the burning fuels) will affect the global climate in harmful ways such as increased temperatures, rising sea levels, and coastal flooding. The graph at right shows the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from the mid-1800s to the present time. Study the graph and answer the questions that follow.
Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide
(a) What were the carbon dioxide concentrations in 1950 and 2000? How much did the carbon dioxide concentration increase during these 50 years?
(b) What was the average yearly increase between 1950 and 2000?
(c) Beginning from the carbon dioxide concentration in 2010 (390ppm), and assuming the average yearly increase you calculated in part b, what will the carbon dioxide concentration be in 2050?

My friend, the inventor, says that she has just made a translucent, light-weight metal by combining aluminum with helium and silicon. She wants me to invest $10,000 in the process and promises that we will be millionaires in only six months. What do you think I should do?…

- At first, it seemed like the poisoned Russian agent might have ingested thallium in the form of thallium(I) sulfate, a rodenticide (rat poison), not allowed in the US and Western countries but still used in other countries. Thallium leads to hair loss. It also replaces potassium in important enzymes in the brain, muscles and skin. It takes 8.0 x 102 mg of thallium ion to kill an average adult. It took a bit of investigating to figure out that the agent was actually poisoned by polonium, a radioactive element, harmful only if it goes into the body. The radioactivity emitted by polonium, alpha particles, can be stopped by skin; but, if ingested, it gets into the blood stream, travels to organs and does lots of damage. The maximum safe body amount of polonium is 7 pg (picograms!) The agent was apparently poisoned with about 10 micrograms. To provide the minimum amount of thallium to kill the average adult, how many mL of 0.45 M solution of thallium(I) sulfate needs to be ingested?…arrow_forwardThe density of water is 1.00 g/mL at 4 degrees Celsius.
