The Mass of the Atmosphere Has Been Estimated to Be

question 17

Short Answer

The mass of the atmosphere has been estimated to be 5.2 × 10²¹ g, while the average molar mass of atmospheric gases is 28.9 g/mol. If the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is 360 ppm by volume, calculate the mass of this gas in the atmosphere, in billions of metric tons, bmt. (1 bmt = 10¹² kg)
