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 refining of aluminum from bauxite ore (which contains 50.% Al2O3 by mass) proceeds by the overall reaction 2Al2O3 + 3C → 4Al
iragen [17]

Answer:

18.9 x 10¹³ grams of Bauxite Ore

Explanation:

Al₂O₃ = 50% of Bauxite Ore

Al₂O₃ = 0.5 (Bauxite Ore)--------------------------------------- (1)

Overall reaction:

2Al₂O₃ + 3C → 4Al + 3CO₂--------------------------------------- (2)

[ Al= 27 , O=16, C=12]

From  (2), 2 moles of  Aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃) gives  4 moles of Aluminium

In terms of grams, we can say:

Al₂O₃ = [2(27) +3(16)]

         = 54 +48

         =102grams

2 moles of Al₂O₃ = 2 x102grams

                            =204grams

4 moles of Al = 4 x 27

                      =108 grams

So from (2):

204 grams of  Al₂O₃   = 108 grams of  Aluminium

x grams of  Al₂O₃        =  5.0 x 10¹³grams of Aluminium

Calculating for x:

x =  (204 x  5.0 x 10¹³)/ 108

  = 9.44 x 10¹³ grams

So 9.44 x 10¹³ grams of pure bauxite (Bauxite) is required.

However the to calculate the quantity of raw bauxite, we use (1):

Bauxite ore = Pure Bauxite/0.5

                   =   9.44 x 10¹³ grams/0.5

                   =   18.88 x 10¹³ grams

                    ≈ 18.9 x 10¹³ grams

An unknown organic compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen was analyzed and found to be 50.84% C, 8.53% H, and the res
MariettaO [177]

In every 100g of that compund there is 50.84 g of C, 8.53 g H and (100-59.37) g = 40.63 g of O.

Step 1: Convert each element's mass in moles. To do that we need to divide each element's mass by their respective molar mass.

For Carbon.

C =  \frac{50.84}{12} = 4.24 mol

For Hydrogen.

H =  \frac{8.53}{1} = 8.53 mol

For Oxygen.

O =  \frac{40.63}{16} = 2.54 mol

Step 2: Divide each of the numbers by the smallest number.

For Carbon.

C =  \frac{4.24}{2.54} = 1.7

For Hydrogen.

H =  \frac{8.53}{2.54} = 3.36

For Oxygen.

O =  \frac{2.54}{2.54} = 1

Step 3: So the empirical formula will be.

C_{1.7} H_{3.36} O_1

But using decimal will be messy. So we multiply the numbers by 3. The right empirical formula will be.

C_{5} H_{10} O_3
