Methane (CH4) is the third most abundant greenhouse gas, with roughly 6000 Tg present in the atmosphere (where 1 Tg = 1 million

tonnes). If the net sink of methane is estimated as 500 Tg / year, then what is methane's residence time?

Answer: 12 years.

Explanation:

<em>Simple Three Rule</em>

<em>If (CH4) sinks as 500 Tg..............1 year</em>

<em>And there is 6000 Tg................. X? years</em>

600×1÷500 is 12 years.

<h3 />

Methane is removed from the atmosphere relatively quickly, compared to other greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. This may take 20 to 200 yeas to be removed.

Methane is produced by the fermentation that anaerobic bacteria cause in some crops and also located in the intestinal track of the cattle.

The greenhouse effect contributes to the global warming and methane is 25 times more harmful than carbon dioxide.

As the global temperature rises, so does the activity of the bacteria, which leads to a vicious circle.

qwelly [4]
Hi there.

Alkali metals are known as the group 1 elements.

When we know this, we just have to look to group 1 of the periodic table.

Rb (Rubidium) is in group 1; it is classified as an alkali metal.

You collect 44.8 L of ammonia in excess hydrogen (N=14amu,H=1amu) . For the Haber process, N2+3H2â2NH3 , what volume of nitrogen
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to see the theoretical mole ratio between nitrogen and ammonia from the balanced chemical equation. This is 1 to 2. One mole of nitrogen yielded two moles of ammonia.

At STP, one mole of a gas occupies a volume of 22.4, hence we need to know the volume occupied by a volume of 44.8L of ammonia. This is equal to 44.8/2 = 2 moles

Now we have seen the actual number of moles of ammonia yielded. Since this is the same as the theoretical, it means that only one mole of nitrogen was also used up.

Since it is one mole, the volume at STP is thus 22.4L

How Does being a doormat help a tree survive winter
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer: Trees, like all plants, are alive and require nutrients to survive. ... This dormancy is what allows trees to survive the cold winter. During dormancy, a tree's metabolism, energy consumption, and growth all slow down significantly in order to endure the harsh season of winter when water and sunlight are more scarce
