- What mass of carbon dioxide is formed from burning one gallon of octane, C8H18? Octane has a density of 703 kg/m3.1 L = 0.2642 gal 1 lb = 453.592 gAn average tree absorbs 48 pounds of CO2 in one year. How many trees would you need to plant to offset the CO2produced from burning one gallon of octane every day for one year (365 days)?arrow_forwardAlthough there are many ions in seawater, the overall charges of the dissolved cations and anions must maintain charge neutrality. Consider only the six most abundant ions in seawater, as listed in Table 18.5 (Cl−, Na+, SO4 2−, Mg2+, Ca2+, and K+), calculate the total charge in Coulombs of the cations in 1.0 L of seawater. Calculate the total charge in Coulombs of the anions in 1.0 L of seawater. To how many significant figures are the two numbers equal?arrow_forwardCyanobacteria are chemosynthetic organisms that reside deep in the ocean near hydrothermal vents. Archeoglobus, one of these types of cyanobacteria, uses the pathway shown in the chemical equation. 4H2 + SO42− + 2H+ → H2S + 4H2O Based on this equation, which explanation best describes how the process of chemosynthesis in bacteria differs from photosynthesis, and why can this process occur in the absence of oxygen? Chemosynthesis uses H2 as an energy source, while photosynthesis uses the Sun as an energy source. Chemosynthesis uses H+ as an energy source, while photosynthesis uses the Sun as an energy source. Chemosynthesis reduces a sulfate molecule in the absence of oxygen and light, while photosynthesis depends on light to reduce carbon dioxide. Chemosynthesis oxidizes a sulfate molecule in the absence of oxygen and light, while photosynthesis depends on light to reduce carbon dioxide.arrow_forward
- Part of a routine blood test is to check the level of sodium in your blood. It is optimum to have between 135 and 146 micromoles per milliliter of sodium. Having an amount too high or too low can cause a variety of health issues. Sodium has a molecular mass of 23 grams per mole [g/mol]. A blood sample is 1.3 [mL]. Determine the minimum mass of sodium that must be present to surpass the upper optimum limit of 146 micromoles per milliliter.arrow_forwardA large sport utility vehicle has a mass of 2.5 * 10^3 kg. Calculate the mass of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere upon accelerating the SUV from 0.0 mph to 65.0 mph. Assume that the required energy comes from the combustion of octane with 30% efficiency. (Hint: Use KE = 1 /2mv2 to calculate the kinetic energy required for the acceleration.)arrow_forwardPrevious records had shown that to prevent acute toxicity to organisms, the maximum mass of CdSO4 that should be allowed into the landfill was determined to be 0.1 kg. This was calculated using a standard concentration of Cd in mg/L where the volume of the leachate pond was used as 500 000L. You need to ensure that the concentration used to determine the mass of Cd allowed in the landfill, meets the current regulatory standard. Assuming that previous calculations determined that all of the CdSO4 would be deposited in the leachate pond, what standard concentration of Cd in mg/L was used to determine the maximum mass of allowable CdSO4?arrow_forward
