Answer:

The correct option is: CO₂

Explanation:

Greenhouse effect refers to the natural phenomenon by which the Sun's radiation increases the temperature of the Earth's surface.

The incoming Sun's radiation is radiated by the greenhouse gases present in the Earth's atmosphere. A fraction of the radiated energy is then absorbed by the Earth's surface, thus resulting in increase in the temperature.

<u>Thus the green house effect depends upon the amount of green house gases present in the atmosphere.</u>

The green house gases are the r<u>adiatively active gases.</u> The main four green house gases are: water vapor (H₂O(g)), carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄) and ozone (O₃).

<u>Human activities such as burning of fossil gases and deforestation increases the concentration of </u><u>CO₂ </u><u>significantly.</u><u> Thereby contributing to the greenhouse effect.</u>

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Q = 3937.56  J

Explanation:

Heat transferred due to change in temperature is given by :

Q=mc\Delta T

c is the specific heat of water, c=4.18 J/g-°C

We have, m = 15 g, T_i=100^{\circ} C\ \text{and}\ T_f=37.2^{\circ} C

So,

Q=15\times 4.18\times (37.2-100)\\Q=-3937.56\ J

Hence, 3937.56  J of heat is transferred.

What chemical property must argon have to make it a suitable choice for light bulbs?
wlad13 [49]
Argon is a suitable choice for light bulbs because it's inert. Compared to a reactive gas like oxygen, the metal filimant would burn up in a reactive  enviroment, which is why a noble gas is used.

PLEASE HELP!! WILL GIVE 5 STARS, A THANKS AND BRAINLIEST
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

"Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of a number of gases that are transparent to the visible light falling on the Earth from the Sun, but absorb the infra-red radiation (heat) emitted by the warm surface of the Earth, preventing its loss into space. During the geological history of the Earth the level of atmospheric CO2 has varied considerably and this has had an impact on the global temperature. A significant amount of this atmospheric carbon was sequestered or (removed from the atmosphere) and turned into inert material (coal, and oil) typically 300-360 Million years ago. All of the global ecosystems and species have adapted to a lower level of atmospheric CO2 and critically, human civilisation has also grown since that period.  Since the industrial revolution humans have been burning sequestered CO2 in the form of coal, oil, and natural gas which has the result of releasing energy but also releases CO2 back into the atmosphere".
