Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas that is mainly responsible for global warming (the greenhouse effect). The burning of fossil fuels is a major cause of the increased concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is also the end product of metabolism. A general overall equation for this very complex process represents the degradation of glucose (C,H12O6) to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H20). C,H1206 + 602 → 6CO2 + 6H20 Using glucose as an example of food, calculate the annual human production of CO2 in grams, assuming that each person consumes 4.69 × 102 g of glucose per day. The world's population is 6.50 billion and there are 365 days in a year. x 10 Enter your answer in scientific notation.
