Question

A car releases 7,000 grams of CO₂ per gallon of gasoline. Assume a test vehicle consumes 700 gallons. Growing forests store carbon through the process of photosynthesis. A specific forest can store carbon at a rate of 1.5 tons of carbon/acre/year. How many acres of forest would need to be planted to offset the use of 100 vehicles?

Answer 1

weight Cor released by 100 Vehicles - 100x7000x 700 gm = 490 X106 gost Iton = lo@gmy = 490 tons of Cerbon Are required - 490 = 326.67 Derelyear: N
