Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas that is mainly responsible for global warming (the greenhouse effect). The burning of fossil fue

ls is a major cause of the increased concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is also the end product of metabolism (see Sample Problem 3.4). Using glucose as an example of food, calculate the annual human production ofCO2ingrams, assuming that each person consumes 5.0×102g of glucose per day, that the world's population is 6.5 billion, and that there are 365 days in a year.

Answer:

1.7\cdot 10^{15} g

Explanation:

Glucose reacts with oxygen do produce carbon dioxide and water:

C_6H_12O_6 (s) + 6 O_2 (g)\rightarrow 6 CO_2 (g) + 6 H_2O (l)

Given a daily mass of glucose:

m_1 = 5.0\cdot 10^2 g

Find moles of glucose:

n_1 = {5.0\cdot 10^2 g}{180.156 g/mol} = 2.775 mol

From stoichiometry of this equation, moles of carbon dioxide can be found by multiplying this amount by 6:

n_2 = 2.775 mol\cdot 6=16.65 mol

Convert this into mass using the molar mass of carbon dioxide:

m_2 = 16.65 mol\cdot 44.01 g/mol = 732.8 g

This is the mass of carbon dioxide per person per day. Multiply by the population and by the number of days to get the total mass:

732.8 \frac{g}{person\cdot day}\cdot 365 days\cdot 6.5\cdot 10^9 people = 1.7\cdot 10^{15} g

When used as pure gases for welding ferrous metals, ____ may produce an erratic arc action, promote undercutting, and result in
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

argon and helium

Explanation:

Argon and Helium is belongs to noble gas. Since novel gases are completely filled outer orbital. therefore they are erratic nature. Hence, noble gas are very stable as it neither except electron nor it denote due to it paired of electronic configuration.

Depending on the materials being welded, these atmospheric gases react with welding area and either it reduces the quality of the weld or make the welding more difficult.

Therefore, to protect welding area from atmospheric gases noble gases which are small in size are used.

Thus, argon and helium are used.

At constant temperature and pressure, 5.0 L of SO2 is
Ne4ueva [31]
I've done this a few times and keep coming up with 5.0 L . I used the mole ratio, and SO 2 as the LR. That would make 2 moles of SO3 5.0 L but its not one of your choices. the temp and pressure are constant, so according to n/v = p/rt the volume is the same as the moles. hope this helps

HELP
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

145.8g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of magnesium hydroxide  = 2.5mol

Unknown:

Mass of Mg(OH)₂  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem we use the expression below;

  Mass of Mg(OH)₂ = number of moles x molar mass

 Molar mass of Mg(OH)₂ = 24.3 + 2(16 + 1)  = 58.3g/mol

 Mass of Mg(OH)₂ = 2.5 x 58.3  = 145.8g
