The plot below shows three different projection scenarios for atmospheric CO2 concentration in the 21st century from the 2018 IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report. The red line represents the RCP 8.5 projection, also known as the "business as usual" projection. This projection assumes that no effort is made to curtail emissions of CO2.

Sodium nitrate contains 0.3% iodine in the form of calcium iodate, Ca(IO3)2. After the sodium nitrate in the niter is dissolved and recrystallized, the remaining solution contains 9 g/Lsodium iodate, NaIO3(aq). The NaIO3 is converted to iodine when it reactswith sulfur dioxide and water.2NaIO3 + 5SO2 + 4H2O → Na2SO4 + 4H2SO4 + I2a. How many liters of sodium iodate solution that contains 9 g of NaIO3 perliter would be necessary to form 127.23 kg of iodine, I2?
Explain the chemistry behind ocean acidification. You should include the formation of carbonic acid from carbon dioxide, how this reacts with carbonate ions, and how continued CO2 emission will impact ocean pH.

When 100 ppm of CO2 is emmitted, it does not mean that the atmospheric concentration of CO2 increases by 100 ppm. What is the difference between emmission and change in atmospheric concentration of gases? Where do excess gases go? What may have absorbed the gases?

1. The recent river pollution series in Malaysia took place in 2019 in Sungai Kim Kim (Johor) and Sungai Selangor (2020).Briefly discuss the causes and suggest potential mitigating measures.
Ca2+ in a drinking water sample was analyzed by the following reactions below: Ca2+(aq) + C2O42-(aq) → CaC2O4 (s) → CaO(s) + CO(g)+ CO2(g) First an excess of C2O42- was added to 0.10 L of the Ca2+ water sample. Then CaC2O4 was precipitated, which was demcomposed into CaO with filtering and some heat. The CaO was measured to be 5.61 mg. What is the concentration of Ca2+ in the original water sample? The MW of CaO is 56.1 g/mol. 0.0100M 0.0010 M 1.00 M 0.100 M The partition coefficient (K) of methylamine (CH3NH2) is 4.50, preferring the organic layer over the aqueous layer in this extraction. The Ka of methylammonium (CH3NH3+) is 2.00 x 10-11. If 10 mL aqueous methylamine solution at pH 11.0 is extracted with 20.0 mL organic solvent, what is the fraction of solute remaining in the water (q)? HINT: methylamine is a weak base. 14.3% 10.0% 18.2% 81.8%
What is the relationship between the equilibrium temperature and the greenhouse gas concentrations? Simulate the Earth if its atmosphere were completely stripped. What equilibrium temperature would we have? Here's a specious argument: "According to the simulation, the average temperature of the Earth with the maximum concentration of greenhouse gases is only 10 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than it is today. That's nothing to worry about." Explain one thing wrong with this statement.
