1.8. Match each person with a surrogate name or
description of a chemical he or she discovered.

all anthropogenic carbon dioxide into limestone that
year. Assume the molecular weights of carbon, calcium,
and oxygen are 12.011 g mol − 1 , 40.078 g mol − 1 , and
15.9994 g mol − 1 ,respectively. By what factor would
the world's quicklime production need to be increased
to remove all anthropogenic CO 2 (g) in 2010 if the 2010
quicklime production was about 2.83

(a) Priestley (1) “gas that is wild and
dwells in out-of-the-way
places”
(b) Schonbein (2) “Poland”
(c) M. Curie (3) “poisonous air”
(d) Baldwin (4) “stench”
(e) Theophrastus (5) “plaster”
(f) Paracelsus (6) “water maker”
(g) Van Helmont (7) “lazy gas”
(h) Balard (8) “acid maker”
(i) Rayleigh (9) “light bearer”
(j) D. Rutherford (10) “to smell”
1.9. The atmosphere contained approximately 115
ppmv of anthropogenic CO 2 (g) in 2010. If 1 ppmv-
CO 2 (g) is equivalent to 2184.82 Tg-C (teragrams, or
10 12 g, of atomic carbon), calculate how many met-
