Document Summary

Chma10h3 introductory to chemistry i: structure and bonding lecture 10: Co2(g) + 2 h2o(l) = hco3- (aq) + h3o+ (aq) Hco3- (aq) + h2o(l) = co3 2- (aq) + h2o+ (aq) Carbon dioxide as a feedstock and solvent: chemists are working on the challenge of recycling carbon dioxide: presently, less than. What causes atmospheric co2 oscillations with time: atmospheric co2 can be very efficiently captured by plants and some other organisms. Captured co2 us stored by plants in the form of glucose, through the process of photosynthesis: glucose monomers are converted into polymers for structural purposes and for energy storage, research on converting co2 (g) to biomass. The petroleum-refining process: fractional distillation separates petroleum into mixtures of alkanes based on boiling points. Where there is methane, is there life: methane is a substance that signifies life on earth, methane and liquid water are detected on mars.
