Atmospheric burden of carbon dioxide
Given that the atmospheric burden of carbon dioxide increases by about 3.8 Gigatonnes annually, calculate the annual increase in its concentration on the ppm scale. Note that the atmospheric mass = 5.1E21g; air's average molar mass = 29.0 g mole-1. Please show step by step.
