Oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2) do not have much greenhouse effect, but several trace gases including carbon dioxide (CO2), methan

e (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and various chlorofluorocarbons are important greenhouse gases. The primary mechanism by which these greenhouse gases warm the Earth is:A.Preventing convection currents that take heat aloft, in the same way that the glass of a greenhouse stops convection currents and so makes the air in the greenhouse warmer.B.Raising the atmospheric pressure, because squeezing air warms it, as we saw at the Redwoods.C.Experiencing chemical reactions with each other, which release energy.D.Absorbing some of the infrared radiation emitted from the Earth.E.Making politicians mad, so they give speeches that heat the air

Answer:

A.Preventing convection currents that take heat aloft, in the same way that the glass of a greenhouse stops convection currents and so makes the air in the greenhouse warmer

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases produce the greenhouse effect. The green house effect is the warming effect produced when gases present in the atmosphere allow and retain the radiation from the sun to the earth. Examples of greenhouse gases are CO2, CH4, SO3, NO, CFCs. The greenhouse effect leads to an increase in the temperature of the earth subsequently leading to (I) melting of large amounts of ice at the poles causing flooding. (II) rapid evaporation of water from Earth’s surface. (III) decrease in crop yield.

Also, high concentration CFCs ( chlorofluorocarbons ), as widely used in aerosols, coolants and packaging foams, in the atmosphere depletes the ozone layer leading to global warming. In 1996 an international agreement was reached for a complete ban of CFCs and more countries are now going Green ( using alternative energy sources ) so as to minimize emissions of these greenhouse gases.

FrozenT [24]
A colloid has the particles that have the ability to scatter light called the Tyndall effect named after the scientist named Tyndall. A suspension has large suspended particles that settle out at the bottom of the container. A solution has small particles that are evenly distributed throughout. Hence the answer is choice 2.

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

0.0025moles

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution (M) = number of moles (n) ÷ volume (V)

According to this question, to make 250 mL of a 0.01 M solution of CaCl, the following number of moles is needed:

Volume = 250mL = 250/1000 = 0.250Litres.

Using; molarity = n/V

0.01 = n/0.250

n = 0.0025

n = 2.5 × 10^-3 moles.

How does the Doppler effect related to the universal expanding?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
The Doppler effect doesn't just apply to sound. It works with all types of waves, which includes light. Edwin Hubble used the Doppler effect to determine that the universe is expanding. Hubble found that the light from distant galaxies was shifted toward lower frequencies, to the red end of the spectrum. This is known as a red Doppler shift, or a red-shift. If the galaxies were moving toward Hubble, the light would have been blue-shifted.

kobusy [5.1K]
The two of them both made models of the current atom, which was very excellent because now we could imagine how an atom would look.  I would say that the best one was the electron orbital configuration because we needed to know what valence electrons are.

Using the van der waals equation, the pressure in a 22.4 L vessel containing 1.50 mol of chlorine gas at 0.00 c is____________at
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

D. 1.48atm

Explanation:

Van der waals equation is given as:

(P +an²/v²) (v - nb) = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

R = gas constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)

a and b = gas constant specific to each gas

T = temperature (K)

n = number of moles

According to the given information; V = 22.4L, T = 0.00°C (273.15K), R = 0.0821 Latm/molK, a = 6.49L^2-atm/mol^2, b = 0.0562 L/mol, n = 1.5mol

Hence;

(P + 6.49 × 1.5²/22.4²) (22.4 - 1.5×0.0562) = 1.5 × 0.0821 × 273.15

(P + 6.49 × 2.25/501.76) (22.4 - 0.0843) = 33.638

(P + 0.0291) (22.316) = 33.638

22.316P + 0.649 = 33.638

22.316P = 33.638 - 0.649

22.316P = 32.989

P = 32.989/22.316

P = 1.478

P = 1.48atm
