Transport is one of the largest Greenhouse gas emitting industries, contributing up to 26% of the US's greenhouse emissions, whilst livestock only contributes to 3%. Explain why the livestock industry is still heavily scrutinized for their methane emissions, despite the contribution being significantly lower than transport. (2 marks)
Key points
Climate change has significant environmental, social and economic impacts.
Increased emissions of greenhouse gases have contributed to an enhanced greenhouse effect, which is also referred to as climate change or global warming.
Human activities, including sourcing and combustion of fossil fuels, land clearing and agriculture, have led to increased emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and water
Carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O) and methane (CH4) are important greenhouse gases. Methane is present in the atmosphere in the lowest quantities, but is the most potent at trapping heat.
Greenhouse gases are an important part of the Earth’s atmosphere that stabilise our climate, by trapping some of the suns heat and allowing it to maintain a stable temperature.

calculations using the ideal gas equation (PV=nRT), limited to the units kPa, Pa, atm, mL, L, degrees C and K (including unit conversions)
PV=nRT can be used to find one variable (Volume [V], Temperature [T], Pressure [P], or mol [n]) when all the other variables are known and are converted to the appropriate units.

Calculate the volume, in L, occupied by 2.24 mol of oxygen gas (O2) at a pressure of 200 kPa and a temperature of 50C
Calculate the pressure, in kPa, experienced by 3.56 mol of CO2 in a 2540 mL container at 14 C

the use of stoichiometry to solve calculations related to chemical reactions involving gases (involving moles, mass and Volume of gases)
use the following formulas to find the amount of a gas (n) (they are simply rearranged versions of the formulas you have already used so far)

-
use the mole ratio in a balanced equation to find the amount of another substance in the chemical reaction (unkown/known)

Practice questions
A 0.51 g magnesium strip is added to HCl solution and produces an aqueous salt and Hydrogen gas. Write a balanced equation for this reaction and find the mass and volume of Hydrogen gas produced at SLC.
500g of Butane gas undergoes complete combustion to form CO2 and water. Find the volume of oxygen (at SLC) required for this reaction to occur.
