The appropriate answer is b. greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane have the ability to trap infrared radiation or heat in the atmosphere. Without these gases the Earth would be thirty degrees cooler than it is today. Pollution today has caused more of these gases to enter the atmosphere and this is the main cause of contemporary global warming.
Ozone in the stratosphere actually blocks another form of radiation called ultraviolet radiation. Geothermal energy is derived from hot rocks inside the earth.

Answer:

Nonbonding pairs of electrons.

Explanation:

Both oxygen atoms in the diatomic molecule have two nonbonding pairs. This results in the oxygen molecule having a planar geometric shape. This is because nonbonding pairs repel each other are significant in determining the shape of a molecule.

What would happen if a cell membrane let too much water into a cell?

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Animal Cell

When water moves into an animal cell (e.g. a red blood cell), the cell membrane stretches and the cell gets bigger. If this continues, the cell membrane will burst – this is called lysis.

Plant Cell

When too much water moves out of a plant cell the cell contents shrink. This pulls the cell membrane away from the cell wall. A plasmolyzed cell is unlikely to survive.

At equilibrium, the concentrations of the products and reactants for the reaction, H2 (g) + I2 (g)  2 HI (g), are [H2] = 0.106

lana [24]

Answer:

The new equilibrium concentration of HI: [HI] = 3.589 M

Explanation:

Given: Initial concentrations at original equilibrium- [H₂] = 0.106 M; [I₂] = 0.022 M; [HI] = 1.29 M

Final concentrations at new equilibrium- [H₂] = 0.95 M; [I₂] = 0.019 M; [HI] = ? M

Given chemical reaction: H₂(g) + I₂(g) → 2 HI(g)

The equilibrium constant ( $K_{c}$ ) for the given chemical reaction, is given by the equation:
