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 molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 4.11 g of NaI in enough water to prepare 312 mL of solution is
Dimas [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is 8.79 × 10⁻² M.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the mass of NaI given is 4.11 grams. The molecular mass of NaI is 149.89 gram per mole. The moles of NaI can be determined by using the formula,

No. of moles of NaI = Weight of NaI/ Molecular mass

= 4.11 / 149.89

= 0.027420

The vol. of the solution given is 312 ml or 0.312 L

The molarity can be determined by using the formula,

Molarity = No. of moles/ Volume of the solution in L

= 0.027420/0.312

= 0.0879 M or 8.79 × 10⁻² M

How many moles of CO2 are produced
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

30.0 mol CO₂

Explanation:

C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

To answer this problem we need to convert moles of C₃H₈ into moles of CO₂: We'll do that by using the <u>stoichiometric coefficients</u>, using a conversion factor that has C₃H₈ moles in the denominator and CO₂ moles in the numerator:

10.0 mol C₃H₈ * \frac{3molCO_2}{1molC_3H_8} = 30.0 mol CO₂
