    Base your answers to questions 11 on the information below.

    Nitrogen gas and oxygen gas make up about 99% of Earth’s atmosphere. Other atmospheric gases include argon, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, hydrogen, etc.

    The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can vary. Data for the concentration of CO2(g) from 1960 to 2000 are shown in the table below.

    Base your answers to questions 12 on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry.

    In the late 19th century, the Hall-Herroult process was invented as an inexpensive way to produce aluminum. In this process, Al2O3(ℓ) extracted from bauxite is dissolved in Na3AlF6(ℓ) in a graphite-lined tank, as shown in the diagram below. The products are carbon dioxide and molten aluminum metal.

    Base your answers to questions 13 on the information below.

    Iron has been used for thousands of years. In the air, iron corrodes. One reaction for the corrosion of iron is represented by the balanced equation below.

    Equation 1: 4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) → 2Fe2O3(s)

    In the presence of water, iron corrodes more quickly. This corrosion is represented by the unbalanced equation below.

    Equation 2: Fe(s) + O2(g) + H2O(ℓ) → Fe(OH)2(s)
