Be sure to answer all parts. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas that is mainly responsible for global warming (the greenhouse effec

t). The burning of fossil fuels is a major cause of the increased concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is also the end product of metabolism. A general overall equation for this very complex process represents the degradation of glucose (C6H12O6) to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O Using glucose as an example of food, calculate the annual human production of CO2 in grams, assuming that each person consumes 4.59 × 102 g of glucose per day. The world's population is 6.50 billion and there are 365 days in a year.

Answer:

1.60x10⁶ billions of g of CO₂

Explanation:

Let's calculate the production of CO₂ by a single human in a day. The molar mass of glucose is 180.156 g/mol and CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol. By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mol of C₆H₁₂O₆ -------------------------- 6 moles of CO₂

Transforming for mass multiplying the number of moles by the molar mass:

180.156 g of C₆H₁₂O₆ ----------------- 264.06 g of CO₂

4.59x10² g ---------------- x

By a simple direct three rule:

180.156x = 121203.54

x = 672.77 g of CO₂ per day per human

So, in a year, 6.50 billion of human produce:

672.77 * 365 * 6.50 billion = 1.60x10⁶ billions of g of CO₂

Hydrogen has three naturally occurring isotopes which figure into the average atomic mass found on the periodic table (1.00974):
Art [367]
The number following the name of the element is the number of subatomic particles inside the nucleus of the atom. This means that it is the mass number of the isotope. The average atomic mass of the element is the sum of the products of the percentage abundance and mass number of the naturally occurring isotopes. 

Since, the average atomic mass of the hydrogen is nearest to 1 then, the most abundant isotope should be hydrogen-1.

One liter of a solution ph 9 has how many more hydroxide ions (oh-) than 1 l of a solution of ph 4?
NeX [460]
<span>100,000 times more. The rule is that the product of the concentration of (H+) and (OH-) in molars is always 10^-14 (if it is more, they combine and produce simple water which brings the product back down to this number again. If it is less, water molecules will split to bring the product back up to equilibrium).
pH 9 means (H+) is 10^-9 molar. But that means (OH-) is 10^-5 at the same time.
pH 4 means (H+) is 10^-4 molar. But that means (OH-) is 10^-10 at the same time.
10^-5 / 10^-10 = 10^5 or 100,000 times more.</span>
