Answer:
The eruption of Mount Tambora eventually reduced the average global temperature by as much as 3 °C.
Explanation:
The Mount Tambora eruption was the largest and most destructive volcanic event in recorded history, expelling as much as 150 cubic km (roughly 36 cubic miles) of ash, pumice, and other rock, and aerosols—including an estimated 60 megatons of sulfur—into the atmosphere. As that material mixed with atmospheric gases, it prevented substantial amounts of sunlight from reaching Earth’s surface, eventually reducing the average global temperature by as much as 3 °C.
Answer: 48800g
Explanation:
Using the mathematical relation : Moles = Mass / Molar Mass
Moles = 488
Molar mass of CaCO3 = 40 + 12 + (16 x 3) = 100g/mol
Therefore
488 = mass / 100 = 48800g
Ionic: transfer of electrons
Covalent: sharing of electrons
Metallic: sharing of free electrons in a structure of cations
