1. Alcohol in our digestive system reacts with oxygen gas to form carbon dioxide and water. How many grams of carbon dioxide are released if a 10.00 g alcohol sample reacts with 20.85 g of oxygen gas and produces 11.77 g of water?
Answer: 19.08g CO2

6. Explain how ozone is formed in the troposphere. Ozone production from NOx pollutants: Oxygen atoms freed from nitrogen dioxide by the action of sunlight attack oxygen molecules to make ozone to reform nitrogen dioxide, and the cycle repeats.
7. Write the equation for the reaction that occurs when lightning causes nitrogen to react with oxygen. N2 + O2 2 NO
8. Describe two sources of carbon
