Question

4.1 kg of a plastic, used to make plastic bottles, has a carbon footprint of 6.0 kg of carbon dioxide.

Calculate the carbon footprint of one plastic bottle of mass 23.5 g

Answer 1

The carbon footprint of one plastic bottle of mass 23.5 g is 34.390 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

The carbon footprint of one plastic bottle can be estimated by simple rule of three. That is:

`x = (23.5\,g)/(4100\,g)* 6000\,g`

`x = 34.390\,g`

The carbon footprint of one plastic bottle of mass 23.5 g is 34.390 g.
