The citizens of the world burn the fossil fuel equivalent of 7 * 1012 kg of petroleum per year. Assume that all of this petroleum is in the form of octane (C8H18) and calculate how much CO2 (in kg) the world produces from fossil fuel combustion per year. (Hint: Begin by writing a balanced equation for the combustion of octane.) If the atmosphere currently contains approximately3 * 1015 kg of CO2, how long will it take for the world’s fossil fuel combustion to double the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide?

Which of the following energy resources are renewable: solar energy, coal, natural gas, geothermal energy, wind power?arrow_forwardWhich statement best describes the cause of the Earth's warming in recent decades? Which one is it? 1. Volcanic eruptions have increased in frequency, causing more greenhouse gases to be emitted. 2. The sun has become brighter, causing the planet to absorb more heat. 3. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide have increased in concentration. This has prevented some of the radiation that normally leaves the Earth's atmosphere from leaving, causing the temperature l to increase. 4. The species of plant that normally absorb sunlight have undergone genetic mutations, causing them to emit heat rather than absorb it.arrow_forward
