Form a hypothesis that might explain which season is CO2 concentration the highest and which season the lowest and write a brief description explaining why it is the way it is. Hint: Plant photosynthesis reduces the CO2 concentration and decay processes increase
Flint water crisis:
“Soon after the city began supplying residents with Flint River water in April 2014, residents started complaining that the water from their taps looked, smelled, and tasted foul. Despite protests by residents lugging jugs of discoloured water, officials maintained that the water was safe. A study conducted the following year by researchers at Virginia Tech revealed the problem: Water samples collected from 252 homes through a resident-organized effort indicated citywide lead levels had spiked, with nearly 17% of samples registering above the federal “action level”. More than 40% measured above 5 ppb of lead, which the researchers considered an indication of a “very serious” problem.”
Lead (Pb) was released from the distribution pipeline in the city of Flint due to a switch of the water source.

- 2. Based on what you have learned so far, why is it necessary to stir the water and wait until the end of the video to read the dissolved oxygen? The stirring aerates the water, causing the oxygen to dissolve more easily in the water. The stirring causes oxygen molecules to leave. The stirring causes the H20 to break apart and release oxygen. The stirring causes hydrogen gas to mix with oxygen gas making water.arrow_forwardThe 24 power plants in Baltimore metro area collectively emit about 40,300 metric tons of CO2 per day (www.carma.org), thereby increasing the level of greenhouse gases in this region. To counter this, environmentalists plan to plant trees in the area. How many moles of CO2 are emitted by these power plants every day? (1 ton =1000kg, molecular weight of CO2 is 44g) If on average 500 moles of glucose are synthesized by a tree each day, how many moles of CO2 can a single tree convert to glucose in a single day? How many trees need to be planted to reabsorb all the CO2 released into the atmosphere every day by these power plants? If a single tree occupies an average of 8.00 x 10-5 sq miles, what percent of the area of Baltimore city needs to be forested to counter the CO2 emitted from power plants alone? (total area of Baltimore city is 92.00 sq miles)arrow_forwardThe U.S. is one of several countries committed to reaching “net-zero” carbon emissions by 2050. This means that by 2050, all carbon dioxide emissions must be matched by the amount of carbon dioxide removed from the air.

One example of a CFC that is known to exasperate formation of the hole in the O3 layer is dichlorodifluoromethane (CF2Cl2). In the year 2000, this chemical reached its peak concentration of 2.2 x 10-11 M in the atmosphere. The destruction of CF2Cl2 can be approximated as a first-order process and the 1996 treaty on CFC emissions has eliminated its release into the atmosphere. Given that the rate constant for destruction of CF2Cl2 in the atmosphere is 0.009 yr-1, how long will it take for the concentration of CF2Cl2 to decline to 0.22 x 10-11 M?arrow_forward

The ordinate is mg CO2 per mile driven per pound mass of the vehicle (called curb weight). For electric vehicles, CO2 emission varies in U.S. states because of the mix of fuels used to generate electricity. If electricity came entirely from solar power, there would be little CO2 associated with its production. California has the lowest CO2 emission for producing electricity and Ohio has the highest because it depends heavily on coal‑fired power plants. The chart does not include CO2 emission from manufacturing vehicles. When normalized for distance driven by each kind of vehicle before it is scrapped, CO2 emission associated with manufacturing electric vehicles is estimated to be 25–75% greater than CO2 emission associated with manufacturing gasoline and diesel vehicles. If manufacturing were included, CO2 emission associated with electric vehicles…arrow_forward2. Suppose the concentration of CO₂ in the atmosphere is 360 ppm.
