A compact car gets 37.5 miles per gallon on the highway. If gasoline contains 84.2% carbon by mass and has a density of 0.8205 g/mL, determine the mass of carbon dioxide produced during a 500-mile trip (3.785 liters per gallon).
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. Using glucose as an example of food, calculate the annual human production of CO2 in grams, assuming that each person consumes 5.0 × 10^2 grams of glucose per day. The world's population is 7.2 billion, and there are 365 days in a year.
Magnesium nitride is used in the preparation of certain ceramic materials and themanufacture of specialty glass. Magnesium solid reacts with excess nitrogen gas to producethe ionic solid, magnesium nitride.3 Mg (s) + N2 (g) → Mg3 N2 (s) During a laboratory experiment, the following data were collected: Mass of Mg(s) reacted: 12.7 g Mass of Mg3N2 (s) produced: 8.54 g From this data, calculate the percent yield of Mg3N2 (s) in this reaction.
Hint: Calculate thepredicted yield first.

- 3.68 Magnesium is lighter than other structural metals, so it is increasingly important in the design of more efficient vehicles. Mg2+ ions are present in seawater, and the metal is often prepared by "harvesting" these ions and converting them to Mg metal. The average magnesium content of the oceans is about 1270 g Mg2+ per ton of seawater, and the density of seawater is about 1.03 g/mL. What is the molarity of Mg2+ ions in seawater?

- The present average concentration (mass percent) of magnesium ions in seawater is 0.13%. A chemistry textbook estimates that if 1.00 × 108 tons Mg were taken out of the sea each year, it would take one million years for the Mg concentration to drop to 0.12%. Do sufficient calculations to either verify or refute this statement. Assume that Earth is a sphere with a diameter of 8000 mi, 67% of which is covered by oceans to a depth of 1 mi, and that no Mg is washed back into the oceans at any time.arrow_forwardA newspaper article states that biomass has actually been used as an energy source throughout human history.

- There are five hydrocarbon compounds (compounds of C and II) that have the formula C6H14. (These are isomers; they differ in the way that C and H atoms are attached. Chapter 23) All are liquids at room temperature but have slightly different densities. (a) You have a pure sample of one of these hydrocarbons, and to identify it you decide to measure its density. You determine that a 5.0-mL sample (measured in a graduated cylinder) has a mass of 3.2745 g (measured on an analytical balance). Assume that the accuracy of the values for mass and volume is plus or minus one ( 1) in the last significant figure. What is the density of the liquid?
