Mass of Carbon burned to increase the average carbon dioxide level
Taking the mass of the atmosphere to be 4.5E15 metric tons, what mass of carbon must be burned in order to increase the average carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere by 0.5 ppm by volume (in metric tons)?
The only Hint given was: The average molar mass of air is 28.96 g/mol.
Can you please work this problem out for ease of understanding. Thanks.
