Answer:

C.  CO2 exists in relatively high concentrations.  

Explanation:

From the available options:

A.  CO2 molecules are highly symmetrical.  

B.  CO2 has a low molar mass.  

C.  CO2 exists in relatively high concentrations.  

D.  CO2 is formed in the combustion of fossil fuels.  

<em>The focus on CO2 as far as global warming is concerned is not because It has a high global warming potential but because of its relatively high concentration in the atmosphere as a result of both natural and anthropological activities.</em>

The correct option is C.

The molar madd of Ca(OH)2
Nonamiya [84]
What you have to do is find a periodic table and add the mass of each atom that the compound is made of.

Ca= 40.1
O= 16.0
H= 1.01

keep in mind that you have to also account for how many atoms of each there are in the molecule. for example, in Ca(OH)2, there are one Ca, two O and two H

so the molar mass of Ca(OH)2= 40.1 + (2 x 16.0) + (2 x 1.01)= 74.12 g/mol
