Calculate the amount of CO2 produced by all the students stu

Calculate the amount of CO2 produced by all the students studying at different Ohio universities in 2012. Assume that the CO2 production in the year 1900 was approximately 10% of the amount you calculated today Estimate the change in surface temperature in Ohio due to the increase in number of students at Ohio universities.

a. 0.8 degrees c

b 8.3 degrees c

c. 3.6 degrees c

d. None of the above

Solution

Solution:

Let today Co2 production is=X metric tonne

In year of 1900 Co2 production =0.10X metric tonne

Per year generated Co2 is:

The gap of Year between 1900 to 2018 is=118 year

Co2 generate per Year=0.9X /118

=0.0076 metric tonne

Let be find Co2 generate in year 2012:

the gap between 2012 to 2018 is =6 Year,Co2 production in year 6year=0.0076X*6=0.0456X metric tonne

so Co2 production in 2012 is=1.0-0.046

=0.954X metric tonne

To find Number student We Know co2 generate per person per year is 19.78 metric tonne/per person

No. of student =o.oo76 X/19.78.

Answer: d. None of these above
