Nitrous oxide (N2O) is used as an anesthetic (laughing gas) and in aerosol cans to produce whipped cream. It is also a potent greenhouse gas. The decomposition of N2O is first order. It decomposes slowly to N2 and O2:

2 N2O(g) --> 2 N2(g) + O2(g)

How many half-lives will it take for the concentration of the N20 to reach 3.13% of its original concentration?

Problem page combustion of hydrocarbons such as pentane ( c5 h12 ) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere can trap the sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the earth. for this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide.(a) write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of liquid pentane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. (b) suppose 0.350 kg of pentane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a temperature of 20.0 degree c. calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced.be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Which rate indicates the number of children that would be born per woman if she were to live to the end of her child bearing years

The molecular weight of carbon dioxide, co2, is 44.00 amu, and the molecular weight of nitrous dioxide, no2, is 46.01 amu, so no2 diffuses co2
