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>

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

In percentage, the sample of C-4 remains = 0.7015 %

Explanation:

The Half life  Carbon 14 =  5730 year

t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}

Where, k is rate constant

So,  

k=\frac {ln\ 2}{t_{1/2}}

k=\frac {ln\ 2}{5730}\ hour^{-1}

The rate constant, k = 0.000120968 year⁻¹

Time = 41000 years

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}

Where,  

[A_t] is the concentration at time t

[A_0] is the initial concentration

So,  

\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}=e^{-0.000120968\times 41000}

\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}=0.007015

<u>In percentage, the sample of C-4 remains = 0.7015 %</u>

What is the mass in grams of 5.40 moles of lithium.
Maslowich
You would use the formula:

n = \frac{m}{M}

Where m is the mass, and M is molar mass (the periodic table would be used for this)

In this case, we need to rearrange the formula to find m

m = nM
    = 5.40 x 6.941
    = 37.5g

Hope this helped! Ask me if there's any part of the working you don't understand :)
