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>

nasty-shy [4]

The <u>Empirical formula</u> gives the smallest whole number ratio of moles of each element in a compound. therefore, multiple compounds may have it in common.

<h3>What is Empirical formula?</h3>

The most straightforward whole number ratio of atoms in a compound is its empirical formula. The empirical formula for sulfur monoxide, or SO, and disulfur dioxide, or S2O2, are both straightforward illustrations of this idea.

<h3>What is multiple compounds?</h3>

According to the law of multiple proportions, if two elements combine to form more than one compound, the ratio of the second element's mass to the fixed mass of the first element will always be a ratio of tiny whole numbers.

<h3>What is empirical formula used for?</h3>

Typically, the empirical formula is used to simply display the components of a molecule. When one needs to quickly identify the elements they are working with, this is helpful. When you want to know how many atoms of each element are present in the molecule, the molecular formula is most helpful.

Which part of the electrochemical cell allows the back-and-forth passage of ions from the cathode to the anode? the half cell
olganol [36]
Answer is "The salt Bridge"

Explanation:
                   During the spontaneous reaction in Voltaic Cell, the balance of ions get disturb due to increase in concentration of negative charge in one half cell and positive charge in another. In order to keep balance the charges in cell,  concentration of ions on both sides and overall neutrality of the system, a U-shape tube filled with inert electrolyte is connected to both half cells. The electrolyte migrates in such a way that the charges of solution in cells keep constant.
