Question
Chapter 9, Problem 29E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The increase in the level of carbon dioxide and the change in temperature is to be discussed.
Concept introduction:
Carbon dioxide is a colorless gas. It is comprised of a carbon atom bonded with two oxygen atoms.
Global warming is caused by the long-term increase in temperature of the Earth. It is very harmful to the environment and also causes problems for plants and animals.

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?
