<h2> <u><em> CLIMATE CHANGE</em></u></h2>

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. These shifts may be natural, such as through variations in the solar cycle. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas.

Burning fossil fuels generates greenhouse gas emissions that act like a blanket wrapped around the Earth, trapping the sun’s heat and raising temperatures.

Examples of greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change include carbon dioxide and methane. These come from using gasoline for driving a car or coal for heating a building, for example. Clearing land and forests can also release carbon dioxide. Landfills for garbage are a major source of methane emissions. Energy, industry, transport, buildings, agriculture, and land use are among the main emitters.

Nowadays the ice is melting more rapidly, this can cause a rise in water/ocean. The forests are drying up faster, species populations are declining rapidly. So we must take action before it is too late.

Thank you.

The partial pressure of O2 in air at sea level is 0.21atm. The solubility of O2 in water at 20∘C, with 1 atm O2 pressure is 1.38

adell [148]

Answer:

$1.21x10^{-3}$ M

Explanation:

Henry's law relational the partial pressure and the concentration of a gas, which is its solubility. So, at the sea level, the total pressure of the air is 1 atm, and the partial pressure of O2 is 0.21 atm. So 21% of the air is O2.

Partial pressure = Henry's constant x molar concentration

0.21 = Hx1.38x $10^{-3}$

H = $\frac{0.21}{1.38x10^{-3} }$

H = 152.17 atm/M

For a pressure of 665 torr, knowing that 1 atm = 760 torr, so 665 tor = 0.875 atm, the ar concentration is the same, so 21% is O2, and the partial pressure of O2 must be:

P = 0.21*0.875 = 0.1837 atm

Then, the molar concentration [O2], will be:

P = Hx[O2]

0.1837 = 152.17x[O2]

[O2] = 0.1837/15.17

[O2] = $1.21x10^{-3}$ M

MgX2 Very low density Highly reactive Diatomic Using the periodic table, determine which element these characteristics MOST LIKE

photoshop1234 [79]

Oxygen, fluorine and iodine are diatomic elements. Flourine is more reactive than the other two because it is the closest away to filling its outer layer of electrons and becoming stable like a noble gas.

The reaction of ethane gas (C2H6) with chlorine gas produces C2H5Cl as its main product (along with HCl). In addition, the react

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The percent yield of chloro-ethane in the reaction is 82.98%.

Explanation:

$C_2H_6+Cl_2\rightarrow C_2H_5Cl+HCl$

Moles of ethane = $\frac{300.0 g}{30 g/mol}=10 mol$

Moles of chlorine gases = $\frac{650.0 g}{71 .0 g/mol}=9.1549 mol$

As we can see that 1 mol of ethane react with 1 mole of chlorine gas.the 10 moles will require 10 mole of chlorine gas, but only 9.1549 moles of chlorine gas is present.

This means that chlorine gas is in limiting amount and amount of formation of chloro-ethane will depend upon amount of chlorine gas.

According to reaction , 1 mol of chloro ethane gives 1 mol of chloro-ethane.

Then 9.1549 moles of chlorien gas will give:

$\frac{1}{1}\times 9.1549 mol=9.1549 mol$ of chloro-ethane

Mass of 9.1549 moles of chloro-ethane:

9.1549 mol × 64.5 g/mol = 590.4910 g

Theoretical yield of chloro-ethane: 590.4910 g

Given experimental yield of chloro-ethane: 490.0 g

$\% Yield=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

$\%Yield (C_2H_5Cl)=\frac{490.0 g}{590.4910 g}\times 100=82.98\%$

The percent yield of chloro-ethane in the reaction is 82.98%.
