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

Answer:

C. to explore the composition of Mars

Explanation:

Initially, in 2019, an unmanned mission is planned to orbit the moon. The spacecraft would flyby the moon.  In 2020's, the Exploration Mission 2 would be a manned mission on the same path around the moon. This would be the base for future goal of collecting samples from mars. In later of 2020's unmanned spacecraft would be sent to mars and a robot would collect the samples from the Martian surface. In 2030's, a crew would be sent to Mars.
