As seen in Chapter 1, one teragram \((\mathrm{Tg})\) is equal to \(10^{12}
\mathrm{~g} .\) In \(2000, \mathrm{CO}_{2}\) emissions from fuels used for
transportation in the United States was \(1990 \mathrm{Tg}\). In 2020, it is
estimated that \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) emissions from the fuels used for
transportation in the United States will be \(2760 \mathrm{Tg}\).
a. Calculate the number of kilograms of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) emitted in the years
2000 and 2020 .
b. Calculate the number of moles of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) emitted in the years
2000 and \(2020 .\)
c. What is the increase, in megagrams, for the \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) emissions
between the years 2000 and \(2020 ?\)
