Chapter 13, Problem 68AP
Although carbon dioxide is the actual greenhouse gas, emissions from the burning of fossil fuels are often reported as gigatons (Gt) of carbon. In 2011, China emitted 2.7 Gt of carbon while the United States released 1.6 Gt of carbon. To what mass in gigatons of CO2 do these amounts of carbon correspond?

The U.S. is one of several countries committed to reaching “net-zero” carbon emissions by 2050. This means that by 2050, all carbon dioxide emissions must be matched by the amount of carbon dioxide removed from the air. Why is it essential for all countries in the world to meet carbon reduction commitments like this
The US uses about 21 million barrels of oil per day. The world used about 86 million barrels of oil per day. Calculate how many kg and L of CO2 are produced in the world each day from gasoline. (Neglect all natural gas, coal and biofuels burned and any energy used to process long chains into shorter chain hydrocarbons) (1 barrel = 42 gallons).
Automobiles are often implicated as contributors to global warming because they are a source of the greenhouse gas CO₂. How many pounds of CO₂ would
your car release in a year if it was driven 110. miles per week?
Gasoline is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons. In your calculations, assume that gasoline is isooctane (molecular formula C8H18) and that it is burned
completely to CO2 and H₂O in the engine of your car. Also assume that the car averages 24.0. miles per gallon and that the density of isooctane is 0.692
g/cm³.
Pounds of CO2 released =
lbs
