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

Why are liquids usually difficult to compress?
Alina [70]
Because when you compress something, you compress an object to either tighten or get it smaller.
Since liquids have no shape of their own, you cannot squeeze or squish it to tighten/get it smaller.
