15 Use of the Data Booklet is relevant to this question.
The combustion of fossil fuels is a major source of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide, with a
consequential rise in global warming. Another significant contribution to carbon dioxide levels
comes from the thermal decomposition of limestone, in the manufacture of cement and of lime for
agricultural purposes.
Cement works roast 1000 million tonnes of limestone per year and a further 200 million tonnes is
roasted in kilns to make lime.
What is the total annual mass output of carbon dioxide (in million tonnes) from these two
processes?
A 440 B 527 C 660 D 880


You see the total amount of limestone roasted is 1200 (1000+200)
Now we make the equation
CaCO3 => CaO + CO2
We find the moles of limestone = 1200/(40.1+12+ 16 x 3) = 11.98
Since the mole ratio of CaCO3:C02 is 1:1, we find the mass, we multiply by the mr of co2 which is 44. 11.9 x 44 = 527.47. Ans B

Thank you so so much~! (y) :D

For 11, n has to be the number of bonds in the compound. For example, the bond energy of a C-H bond is found by divided the enthalpy of formation of CH4 by 4, because there are 4 C-H bonds in CH4.
WHAT about D? if the compound was NH3 for example so the n number is 3 so you divided the bond energy by 3 and the answer will be correct right?

When you write the equation for the decomposition of a Group II metal nitrate, you see that the mole ratio of the metal nitrate to the metal oxide is 1:1. So n(nitrate)=n(oxide). You have the mass of the nitrate and you can find the mass of the oxide (mass of nitrate minus mass of gases). You can calculate the molecular mass of Group II metal nitrate and oxide knowing the general formulae: M(NO3)2 and MO. M can be x. Cross multiply.

Jazak Allah Khayr again.

Somebody please reply fast.. i have 2 hours left. Im done with all the papers back till 2002. Ive gone through my notes once. what should i do right now?? chemguide or the book (coursebook by David Acaster) plz note that I have 2 hours only and went through each looong way back :p
which variant r u giving?
