Arizona was the site of a 400,000-acre wildfire in June 2002. How much carbon dioxide (CO2) was produced into the atmosphere by

that fire? [Hints: Assume that the density of carbon on the acreage was 10 kg/m2 and that 50% of the biomass burned. In addition, 10,000 m2 = 2.47 acre].

Answer:

2.97 × 10¹³ g

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the biomass the is burned. We can establish the following relations:

  • 2.47 acre = 10,000 m²
  • 10 kg of C occupy an area of 1 m²
  • 50% of the biomass is burned

The biomass burned in the site of 400,000 acre is:

400,000acre\times\frac{10,000m^{2} }{2.47acre} \times \frac{10kgC}{m^{2} } \times 50\% = 8.10 \times 10^{9} kgC

Let's consider the combustion of carbon.

C(s) + O₂(g) ⇒ CO₂(g)

We can establish the following relations:

  • The molar mass of C is 12.01 g/mol
  • 1 mole of C produces 1 mole of CO₂
  • The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol

The mass of  produced is CO₂:

8.10 \times 10^{12}gC \times \frac{1molC}{12.01gC} \times \frac{1molCO_{2}}{1molC} \times \frac{44.01gCO_{2}}{1molCO_{2}} =2.97 \times 10^{13} gCO_{2}

Which layer of Earth is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates?
vesna_86 [32]
Convection currents in the mantle are what causes the movement of tectonic plates. As the extremely hot molten material from the mantle rises toward the crust, it cools enough to become denser and sink back into the hotter area of the mantle.

When aqueous solutions of Na2SO4 and Pb(NO3)2 are mixed, PbSO4 precipitates. Calculate the mass of PbSO4 formed when 1.25 L of 0
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The mass of PbSO4 formed 15.163 gram

Explanation:

mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ = 1.25 x 0.05 = 0.0625

mole of Na₂SO₄ = 2 x 0.025 = 0.05

                                      Pb(NO₃)₂ + Na₂SO₄ → PbSO₄ + 2 NaNO₃

( Mole/Stoichiometry )    \frac{0.0625}{1}           \frac{0.05}{1}

                                     = 0.0625     = 0.05

From  (Mole/ Stoichiometry ) we can conclude that Na₂SO₄ is limiting reagent.

Mass of PbSO₄ precipitate = 0.05 x Molecular mass of PbSO₄

                                            = 0.05 x 303.26 g

                                            = 15.163 g
