Part A
In the year 2012, an estimated amount of 31.6 billion metric tons (1 metric ton = 1000 kg) of carbon dioxide (CO2) was emitted worldwide due to fossil fuel combustion
and cement production. Express this mass of CO2 in grams without exponential notation, using an appropriate metric prefix

The mass of CO₂ in grams without exponential notation and with the appropriate metric prefix is 31.6 Eg.  

First, let's calculate the amount of mass in grams of 31.6 billion metric tons.

Knowing that 1 metric ton is equal to 1000 kg, 31.6 billion metric tons is:

[tex]m = \frac{1000 kg}{1 \: metric \: ton}*\frac{1000 g}{1 kg}*31.6 \cdot 10^{12} \: metric \: ton = 3.16 \cdot 10^{19} g[/tex]              

The metric prefix that is close to the above result is exa (E), which is equal to 10¹⁸.

Therefore, the mass of CO₂ in grams without exponential notation and with the appropriate metric prefix is 31.6 Eg (exa-gram).
