A plant makes liquid carbon dioxide by treating a limestone with commercial sulfuric acid. The limestone analyzes 68.1% calcium carbonate, 27.1% magnesium carbonate and the rest silica. The acid used was 88.3% sulfuric acid with rest being water. Calculate the pounds of acid required per ton of limestone treated.

When a plant grows, the atoms used come from carbon dioxide in the air and water. Plants are able to accomplish this through the process of photosynthesis, cellular respiration and biosynthesis of macromolecules. Where does the energy come from that allow plants to synthesize the necessary biological macromolecules that allow it to grow? Hint: It is NOT from sunlight. Explain your answer.

1. Suppose that Climate Change is caused the emissions of carbon dioxide and methane gases. Suppose further that the United Nations proposes a policy to combat these emissions to reduce the impact of Climate Change. This policy proposes that each country in the world reduces their carbon dioxide and methane emissions by 50% over the next two years (i.e., each country should cut their emissions by half). The United Nations suggests that countries could tax polluters to get them to...

Plants require carbon dioxide for photosynthesis; despite this, the greater the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by various sources (including carbon emissions from vehicles), the worse it is for our biosphere. Discuss 3 reasons why it is detrimental to our planet to have high levels of carbon dioxide emitted continuously into the atmosphere.

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. Instead of melting, solid carbon dioxide sublimes according to the following equation: CO2(s)→CO2(g). When dry ice is added to warm water, heat from the water causes the dry ice to sublime more quickly. The evaporating carbon dioxide produces a dense fog often used to create special effects. In a simple dry ice fog machine, dry ice is added to warm water in a Styrofoam cooler. The dry ice produces fog until it evaporates away,...

Carbon Dioxide is being generated in an occupied space. Each person breathe out carbon dioxide at the rate 0.0107 cfm. Outdoor air with CO2 concentration of 280 ppm is being supplied to the space at the rate of 6000cfm. It is desired to keep the concentration level of CO2 in the space below 1000 ppm. Assuming the room is complete mixing condition, determine how many person could occupy the room and not exceed the desired CO2 level. (1 ppm =...

12.2 Compression of Carbon Dioxide Carbon dioxide (CO2) at 1 bar and 300 K enters a compressor operating at steady state and is compressed adiabatically to an exit state of 10 bar and 520 K. The CO2 is modelled as an ideal gas, and the KE and PE effects are negligible. For the compressor, determine a) Work input [kJ/kg] b) Rate of entropy production [kJ/kg?K] c) The isentropic compressor efficiency d) T-s diagram of isentropic and real process
