In 2007,an estimated amount of 31 billion tons of carbon dioxide was emitted worldwide due to fossil fuel combustion and cement production. Express this mass of carbon dioxide in grams without exponential notation, using an appropriate metric prefix.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The molecular mass of carbon dioxide is 44.01amu.

Explanation:

so, for 31 billion tons (28122726940000 kg),

it would be

44.01amu in grams is = 7.3080318e-23

which is = 7.3080318 * 10^-23 power

0.0000000000000073080318 grams

(I don't know any prefix for the above.)

31 billion tons in grams is = 2.812272694e+16

or 28122726940000000 grams

so 28122726940000000 grams * 0.0000000000000073080318 grams

is equal to ( = ) 0.00000205521 grams of carbon dioxide

= 1.2376765e+18

=123767650000000000 atomic mass units of co2

which is =  atto 1.2376765
