The major problem with CFCs is that It is a greenhouse gas, Option A is correct.

<h3>What are CFC's ?</h3>

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are nontoxic, nonflammable chemicals containing atoms of carbon, chlorine, and fluorine.

They are used in the manufacture of aerosol sprays, blowing agents for foams and packing materials, as solvents, and as refrigerants.

CFCs are classified as halocarbons, a class of compounds that contain atoms of carbon and halogen atoms

The major problem with CFC's is that they are green house gases

It destroys ozone in the upper atmosphere (stratosphere).

CFCs can produce more than 10,000 times as much warming, pound for pound, once they are in the air.

It is not  only because of their dramatic warming potential  but also  

They were found to be the primary cause of the rapidly escalating destruction of the Earth’s ozone layer,

which protects the planet from dangerous, cancer-causing levels of ultraviolet radiation.

Therefore The major problem with CFCs is that It is a greenhouse gas, Option A is correct.

How much 6.0 m hno3 is needed to neutralize 39ml of 2 m koh
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

13mL

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

HNO3 + KOH —> KNO3 + H2O

From the balanced equation above, we obtained the following data:

Mole ratio of the acid (nA) = 1

Mole ratio of the base (nB) = 1

Step 2:

Data obtained from the question.

This includes the following:

Molarity of the acid (Ma) = 6M

Volume of the acid (Va) =?

Volume of the base (Vb) = 39mL

Molarity of the base (Mb) = 2M

Step 3:

Determination of the volume of the acid.

Using the equation:

MaVa/MbVb = nA/nB, the volume of the acid can be obtained as follow:

MaVa/MbVb = nA/nB

6 x Va / 2 x 39 = 1/1

Cross multiply to express in linear form

6 x Va = 2 x 39

Divide both side by 6

Va = (2 x 39)/6

Va = 13mL

Therefore, the volume of the acid (HNO3) needed for the reaction is 13mL

Drag and drop the terms into the correct locations to describe how the relationship between photosynthetic organisms and animals
g100num [7]

Answer:

Photosynthetic bacteria must take in <u>Carbon Dioxide</u> to live, and they release <u>Oxygen </u> . Animals must take <u>Oxygen </u> to live, and they release <u>Carbon Dioxide.</u>

Explanation:

Photosynthesis:

It is the process in which in the presence of sun light and chlorophyll by using carbon dioxide and water plants produce the oxygen and glucose.

Carbon dioxide + water + energy →   glucose + oxygen

water is supplied through the roots, carbon dioxide collected through stomata and sun light is capture  by chloroplast.

Chemical equation:

6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy  →   C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Photosynthetic bacteria perform same function as plants.  These bacteria contain light harvesting pigments absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.

While animals take oxygen and release carbon dioxide to live. This respiration process is opposite to the photosynthesis.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP
