Life is meaningful, only when one wishes to make it. We are creatures of time and we’ll wither away in it. The little moments of joy we find and create are all that will live with us.
The average emission factor for crude oil combustion is about 0.43 metric tons of CO₂ per barrel of oil.
Calculation:
Total CO₂ emissions = Total oil reserves times x CO₂ emission factor
Total CO₂ emissions = 1,581.2 billion barrels x 0.43 metric tons of CO₂/barrel
Total CO₂ emissions = 680.916 billion metric tons of CO₂
Therefore, burning all the proven oil reserves in the world would release approximately 680.92 billion metric tons of CO₂ into the atmosphere.
Q: How much estimated Oxygen is present in the earth atmosphere?
A: The Earth’s atmosphere has an estimated total mass of about 5.15 × 10^18 kg. Oxygen makes up approximately 21% of the atmosphere by volume, which translates to about 23% by mass because oxygen molecules (O₂) are heavier than the average air molecule.
To find the total mass of oxygen in the atmosphere:
Total mass of the atmosphere = 5.15 x 1018 Kg Percentage of oxygen by mass = 23% = 0.23
Mass of oxygen in the atmosphere = 0.23 x 5.15 x 1018 Kg
Mass of oxygen in the atmosphere approx 1.185 x 1018 Kg
Therefore, the estimated mass of oxygen present in the Earth’s atmosphere is approximately 1.185 × 10^18 kg.
Q: 680.92 billion metric tons of CO2 is what percentage of 1.185 × 10^18 kg ?
A: 680.92 billion metric tons of CO₂ is approximately 0.0574% of the total estimated mass of oxygen in the Earth’s atmosphere.
So 0.0574% change in the percentage of oxygen it seems is very bad for our planet and environment.
