climate

Changes in the composition of the atmosphere have caused gradual changes in earth's <u>climate</u> throughout history, causing changes in plant and animal life that contributed to mass extinctions.

The following are some of the reasons:

  • UV light
  • climate
  • pollutants
  • hydrofluorocarbons

heat

  • The surface of the Earth warms up as sunlight strikes it.
  • Surface-emitted infrared light is absorbed in the atmosphere and transformed into heat.
  • The temperature close to the surface rises as a result of this heat being trapped in the atmosphere.
<h3>UV light:</h3>
  • indirect impacts of climate change on UV radiation from the surface.
  • By changing the concentrations of ozone, UV-absorbing tropospheric gases, aerosols, and clouds in the atmosphere, climate change may have indirectly affected UV radiation levels in the past.
  • These influences are probably going to persist in the future.
<h3>climate:</h3>
  • People are at risk from food and water shortages, greater flooding, high heat, an increase in disease, and economic loss due to climate change.
  • Conflict and human migration are potential outcomes.
  • Climate change is the top hazard to world health in the twenty-first century, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
<h3>pollutants:</h3>
  • these are also resulting in the increase of temperature of the Earth and is also damaging ozone layer.

How many molecules are there in 4dm³ of nitrogen gas​
daser333 [38]

There are 1.078 x 10²³ molecules

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

4 dm³ = 4 L Nitrogen gas

Required

Number of molecules

Solution

Assumptions on STP (1 atm, 273 K), 1 mol gas = 22.4 L, so for 4 L :

mol = 4 : 22.4

mol = 0.179

1 mol = 6.02 x 10²³ particles(molecules, atoms)

For 0.179 :

= 0.179 x 6.02 x 10²³

= 1.078 x 10²³

a physical property can be observed while the substance remains the same in its chemical composition. true false
sweet [91]

While the material retains its chemical makeup, the physical property may be examined. The given statement is true.

The matter can undergo variations in physical or chemical properties. The physical changes of a matter occur when the matter undergoes changes in its physical properties like changes in the state of matter, weight, color, etc.

But the chemical composition of matter will remain constant if it undergoes a physical change. Whereas in chemical change, the matter undergoes a change in the composition of the substance but there will be no change in the physical properties.

Hence, The assertion is correct in that physical properties can be seen while the substance's chemical makeup stays constant.

Decide whether a chemical reaction happens in either of the following situations. If a reaction does happen, write the chemical
sineoko [7]

Explanation:

A strip of solid palladium metal is put into a beaker of nicl2

Palladium (Pd) + Nickel Chloride (NiCl2)

To answer this question properly you must refer to the reactivity series.

The activity series is a chart of metals listed in order of declining relative reactivity. The top metals are more reactive than the metals on the bottom.

In this series, Nickel is higher than Palladium. This means that if a Palladium strip is placed into a solution of a Ni salt, then a reaction will not take place, nothing would happen.

Because Pd is lower than Ni in the reactivity series.

There is no reaction so no equation.

Which of the following features is common to both acids and bases? A. ability to burn skin B. similar taste C. pH measurements g
Lynna [10]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

            Correct Option-A (Ability to burn skin)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                    When skin tissues are exposed to Acids or Bases a chemical burn occurs as both of these substances are corrosive in nature. These burns occur without providing any heat, results from a very fast reaction, are extremely painful and causes damage to structures present under skin.

                    Option-B is incorrect because Acids taste sour, while, Bases taste bitter.

                    Option-C is incorrect because pH of Acids is less than 7 while, pH of Bases is greater than 7.
