Scientists have grown progressively more worried about the potential for climate change caused by increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. The world burns the fossil fuel equivalent of approximately 9.0 × 10 12 kg of petroleum per year. Assume that all of this fossil fuel is in the form of octane (C 8 H 18 ) and calculate how much CO 2 in kilograms is produced by world fossil fuel combustion per year. ( Hint. Begin by writing a balanced equation for the combustion for octane.) If the atmosphere currently contains approximately 3.0 × 10 15 kg of CO 2 , how long will it take for the world’s fossil fuel combustion to double the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide?
