If it is just a comparison, then it is nice to state that an Adult African Elephant can usually weigh up to 6.6 tons. Just regular 6.6 tons. No millions, no billions, no hundreds. So the weight of that elephant is 0.00000012% of the total amount of carbon released through burning fossil fuels. 

In all fairness to the elephant, the atmosphere is really heavy and is much more bigger than an elephant, so this isn't really a surprising answer

The atoms and molecules in a gas are in constant motion. Temperature is a measure of this motion. How are these related? As temp
Sedaia [141]

Here we have to choose the correct statement on the effect of temperature on the motion of the molecules and atoms of a gas.

As the temperature increases the molecules and atoms move faster.

As per the kinetic theory of gas molecules and atoms the kinetic energy (K.E.) of the atom or molecules is related to temperature by the equation

K.E. = \frac{3}{2}kT ( k = Boltzmann constant, T = temperature.

Thus as the temperature increases the K.E. increases thus the atom or molecules move faster.

With the decrease of temperature the movement of the atoms or molecules will be less and they will be near to each other.

The increment of temperature increase the K.E. thus the atoms or molecules move apart from each other.

With the decrease of temperature the movement of the atoms or molecules decreases.

50.0 g of NaNO3 are dissolved into enough water to make 250 mL of solution. What is the molarity of this solution?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

2.35 M

Explanation:

Molarity is mol/L of solution. We have to convert the g to mol and the mL to L. G to mol uses the molar mass of the compound. The molar mass of NaNO₃ is 85.00g/mol.

50.0gNaNO3*\frac{1molNaNO3}{85.00gNaNO3} = 0.588molNaNO3

Then you have to convert mL to L.

250mL*\frac{1L}{1000mL} = 0.250L

Now divide the mol by the L.

\frac{0.588mol NaNO3}{0.250L} = 2.352 M

Round to the smallest number of significant figures = 2.35M
