C. What is the total mass of atmospheric CO2 in grams given that it is 0.04% by volume (i.e., 400 ppmv) in the atmosphere.
You need to know:
â¢ Mean molar mass of atmosphere: Matm = 28.97 grams/mole.
â¢ Molar mass of CO2: MCO2 (from B)

-Calculate p=0.04% x (MCO2 / Matm); this is the percent of the total atmospheric mass (from A).

Calculate the Density of an steroid

An extremely massive (spherical) asteroid with a mass of 8.7 x 10¹⁵ kg passes through the atmosphere and hits the Caspian Sea. The diameter of the asteroid is determined to be 20.5 km and there are initially 78200 km³ of water in the Caspian Sea. Assuming that this asteroid is denser than water, calculate the water displacement in cubic meter. What is the density of the asteroid in g/cm³? (Hint: use the equation for the volume of a sphere)
