How do greenhouse gases such as CO2 and N2O contribute to an increase in Earth’s atmospheric temperature?
A.
Greenhouse gases interact with infrared photons and reflect them back to Earth’s surface.
B.
Greenhouse gases chemically react with one another, releasing heat in the process.
C.
Greenhouse gases agitate visible light photons, increasing the photons’ temperature and motion energy.
D.
Greenhouse gases generate internal heat through radioactive decay, similar to the core of Earth.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

The earth naturally maintains the heat energy balance by absorbing a sufficient amount of sunlight energy by the terrestrial land and then reverting back the excess sunlight energy back to the space. The increase in abundance of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere results in absorption of sunlight energy which contains infrared photons this is responsible for increasing the global temperature levels hence, responsible for global warming. These infrared photons are reflected to the earth surface instead of sending back to the space. This is responsible for disturbing the heat balance.

Answer 2

Greenhouse gases interact with infrared photons and reflect them back to earth’s surface, hence option A is correct.

How does greenhouse gases rise in earth’s atmosphere?

The burning of fossil fuels, logging of forests, and raising of livestock all have a rising impact on the climate and temperature of the planet.

This increases the greenhouse effect and causes global warming by adding a significant amount of greenhouse gases to those that are already present in the atmosphere.

The earth naturally maintains the balance of heat energy by receiving enough solar energy through the terrestrial land and then returning any excess energy to space.

Therefore, greenhouse gases such as CO₂ and N₂O interact with infrared photons and reflect them back to earth’s surface.

When 0.3 moles of acetylene is burned , total mole number of the products will be? a- 0.30 mol b-0.60 mol c-0.75 mol d-0.90 mol e- 1.2 mol

Answers

Answer:

d. 0.9 mol

Explanation:

On this case we have to start with the formula of acetylene:

[tex]C_2H_2[/tex]

Now we can write the chemical reaction of combustion:

[tex]C_2H_2~+~O_2~->~CO_2~+~H_2O[/tex]

The next step is to balance the reaction:

[tex]2C_2H_2~+~5O_2~->~4CO_2~+~2H_2O[/tex]

The molar ratio between [tex]C_2H_2[/tex] and [tex]CO_2[/tex] is 2:4, so:

[tex]0.3~mol~C_2_H_2\frac{4~mol~CO_2}{2~mol~C_2H_2}=0.6~mol~CO_2[/tex]

The molar ratio between [tex]C_2H_2[/tex] and [tex]H_2O[/tex] is 2:2, so:

[tex]0.3~mol~C_2_H_2\frac{2~mol~H_2O}{2~mol~C_2H_2}=0.3~mol~H_2O[/tex]

The total moles would 0.6 + 0.3=0.9 moles.

Solids, liquids and gases are the three most commonly accepted phases of matter. Explain the properties of each phase, including their relative energy.

Answers

Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of atoms, molecules, and/or ions, but the way the particles inside them differ.

In a gas, the molecules are spread wide apart and moves freely at high speeds

In a liquid, the more closer to each other and will vibrate or slip past each other

In a solid, the molecules are tightly packed, making no room for each other and harder to move. These molecules vibrate and jiggle but, don't move

1.)A strong acid solution requires 3.2 grams of sulfuric acid (H2SO4). How many molecules of sulfuric acid are in the solution?

2.) While measuring out the sulfuric acid you accidentally spilled some of it! Before trying to clean it up you put some baking soda (NaHCO3) on to it neutralize it. If you scatter 7.8 g of baking soda on the acid how many moles of baking soda have you used?

Answers

Answer: 1. There are [tex]0.20\times 10^{23}[/tex] molecules of sulfuric acid  in the solution.

2.  0.093 moles of baking soda have been used.

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number [tex]6.023\times 10^{23}[/tex] of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

1. [tex]\text{Number of moles of sulpfuric acid}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{3.2g}{98g/mol}=0.033moles[/tex]

1 mole of [tex]H_2SO_4[/tex] contains = [tex]6.023\times 10^{23}[/tex] molecules of sulfuric acid

Thus mole of [tex]H_2SO_4[/tex] contains = [tex]\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}}{1}\times 0.033=0.20\times 10^{23}[/tex] molecules of sulfuric acid

There are [tex]0.20\times 10^{23}[/tex] molecules of sulfuric acid  in the solution.

2.  [tex]\text{Number of moles of baking soda}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{7.8g}{84g/mol}=0.093moles[/tex]

0.093 moles of baking soda have been used.

The sodium salt, NaA, of a weak acid is dissolved in water; no other substance is added. Which of these statements (to a close approximation) is true?

Answers

Answer:

Your question is somewhat poorly worded, even so what I can contribute is the statement is false, since the salt is sodium chloride, where its severe chemical formula NaCl, is a SALT not an acid and if it dissolves in water, seriously the solute of a solution, where water plays the role of the solvent

Explanation:

Sodium chloride is a binary salt, very easy to dissolve in water, it is also called the famous table salt, since it can be ingested in food even though it is not so recommended against high blood pressure conditions.

How many grams of chlorine gas are needed to react with 3.5 liters of a 1.7 molar
potassium bromide solution?
Cl2 + 2 KBr - 2 KCl + Br2

Answers

Answer: 211.2 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

[tex]\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in L)}}[/tex]     .....(1)

Molarity of [tex]KBr[/tex] solution = 1.7 M

Volume of solution = 3.5 L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

[tex]1.7M=\frac{\text{Moles of}KBr}{3.5L}\\\\\text{Moles of }KBr=\{1.7mol/L\times 3.5L}=5.95moles[/tex]

The balanced chemical reaction is:

[tex]Cl_2+2KBr\rightarrow 2KCl+Br_2[/tex]

According to stoichiometry:

2 mole of KBr requires = 1 mole of [tex]Cl_2[/tex]

5.95 moles of KBr requires = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times 5.95=2.975[/tex] moles of [tex]Cl_2[/tex]

Mass of [tex]Cl_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=2.975mol\times 71g/mol=211.2g[/tex]

Thus 211.2 grams of chlorine gas are needed to react with 3.5 liters of a 1.7 molar potassium bromide solution

The recommended dose of aspirin will yield approximately 100.0 micrograms/mL in the blood. How many molecules of aspirin (C9H8O4) are in a drop (0.100 mL) of blood?

Answers

Answer:

3.34x10¹⁶ molecules of aspirin are in a drop of blood

Explanation:

The recomended dose of aspirin in blood is 100.0μg/mL =

1x10⁻⁴g aspirin / mL of blood.

In a drop (0.100mL) there are:

0.100mL ₓ (1x10⁻⁴g aspirin / mL of blood) = 1x10⁻⁵g aspirin.

Molecular mass of aspirin is:

9C = 12.01g/mol ₓ 9 = 108.09g/mol

8H = 1.01g/mol ₓ 8 = 8.08g/mol

4O = 16g/mol ₓ 4 = 64g/mol

108.09 + 8.08 + 64 = 180.17g/mol

Thus, moles of aspirin in 1x10⁻⁵g are:

1x10⁻⁵g ₓ (1mol / 180.17g) = 5.55x10⁻⁸ moles of aspirin

In 1 mole, you have 6.022x10²³ molecules, thus:

5.55x10⁻⁸ moles of aspirin ₓ (6.022x10²³ molecules / 1 mole ) =

3.34x10¹⁶ molecules of aspirin are in a drop of blood
