Here are possible changes that could take place if the concentration of oxygen in theatmosphere were halved:1.Iron and steel would rust more slowly, prolonging the useful life of many objects madefrom these materials.2.Fires would burn less vigorously and produce more CO and soot. Logs in your fireplacemight last longer.3.Your body can adapt (just as it does at higher elevations) to lower levels of oxygen. But inthis case, the level may be too low for metabolic processes involving oxygen to occur at fastenough rates for life as we currently know it.33.Explain why CO is called the “silent killer.” Select two other pollutants for which this namewould not apply and explain why not.Answer:CO is termed the “silent killer” because your senses cannot detect this colorless, tasteless,and odorless gas. The same term cannot be applied to pollutants such as O3or SO2becauseeach has a distinctive odor that can be detected at concentrations below the level of toxicity.34.Cigarette smoke is 2–3% carbon monoxide.a.How many parts per million is this?b.How does this value compare with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for CO inboth a 1-hour and an 8-hour period?c.Propose a reason why smokers do not succumb to carbon monoxide poisoning.Answer:a. To convert from percent to ppm, move the decimal point 4 places to the right.Alternatively:3%=3pph3pph×1,000,000ppm100pph=30,000ppmb.The NAAQS for CO in an 8-hour period is 9 ppm. The concentration of CO in cigarettesmoke is over three thousand times the 8-hour standard. The NAAS for CO

<span>First and foremost, you might speak with your librarian. Even if they don’t know the book in question, they will be of great assistance in helping you find it in the library stacks by narrowing down where books on the subject of hot air ballooning might be. If they can not personally assist you, you can take advantage of the library’s computer system to help you track down the book you are looking for. If that fails, you can use the library computers to do a search for books on hot air ballooning. This will give you some names and titles, which you will then be able to do a more targeted search for within the library’s own system and find the book you are looking for.</span>

Read the excerpt from "The Yellow Wallpaper."
Phoenix [80]

"The Yellow Wallpaper" is short story that was written by American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman and it was published in 1982. The main purpose of this story was to expose the way that women were viewed and treated during the 19th century, especially when it came to mental and physical health issues. Written in the first person, the story is related in a series of journal entries, in which the main character, whose name we do not learn, tells of the circumstances that surround her when her husband, John decides to move them somehwere where he thinks his wife, the narrator, will be able to be cured from what he terms: temporary nervous depression. So they move to a mansion with Jennie, John´s sister, and settle into a room that had once been a nursery with yellow wallpaper that has been badly scratched. As time passes, the narrator focuses on the wallpaper more and more, until she begins seeing the form of a woman in there. In the end, John comes home one day and after unlocking the door to the room, finds his wife crouched against it, circling it and when she sees him she tells him that she has finally been able to break free despite him and Jane. John passes out and the narrator continues circling the walls without a care. In this excerpt of the story, the narrator is: B: she feels an overwhelming responsibility to meet society´s expectations, because, through the words she uses and the expression, the narrator shows how much shame she feels that her situation, her condition, prevents her from doing what socially she should be doing, which is becoming a support for her husband.

Stells [14]

Answer:

The Lego Ninjago Movie is perfectly adequate on the level of cartoon-driven entertainment. That’s all it sets out to be. And so by that measure, it’s a rousing success. But by the measure of the movie franchise it serves as the third installment for, it’s missing some critical pieces.

Note: The word solitude is the end of that quote, this means that the dash is not necessary. I will help to explain the message the quote is passing across.

Answer:

Check below for the explanation.

Explanation:

This quote was given by Ralph Waldo Emerson. The quote means that relationship with others will be easier if one agrees completely to the opinion of the world, at the same time, if one maintains his opinions not minding the opinions of the world, then one can easily hold on to one's beliefs.

Ralph Emerson now gives credit to a man who despite being in solitude can still maintain his opinions as he would do if he was in solitude. He acknowledges how difficult this can be and gives respect to the man with this special ability.
