4. Suppose that a large amount of forest land was cleared to provide
farmland. What effect would the clearing have on the carbon dioxide
level in the air? Explain your answer.
B. The incomplete combustion of octane (C3H18), a component of gasoline, produces carbes
monoxide (CO) and water vapor. Carbon monoxide combines readily with hemoglobin in the red
blood cells of humans and animals. This prevents red blood cells from carrying oxygen. Thus
carbon monoxide robs the tissues of the oxygen they need for survival. Write the equation for
the combustion of octane.
Solution:
2. Describe the mechanism of hydrocarbon cracking
for production of hydrogen and write the reactions
that takes place during methane cracking for
hydrogen production.
