Why is global warming called the greenhouse effect?

1 answer:

3 0

Since greenhouses are designed to trap in heat, we call global warming the “greenhouse effect” because it essentially does the same thing. “Greenhouse” gases (gases that easily trap heat) clog up the outer layers of the atmosphere and prevents heat from leaving the planet. The gases trap heat, just like greenhouses.

Liquid A and liquid B form a solution that behaves ideally according to Raoult's law. The vapor pressures of the pure substances

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Vapor pressure of solution → 151.1 Torr

Option 2.

Explanation:

Raoult's Law is relationed to colligative property about vapor pressure. A determined solute, can make, the vapor pressure of solution decreases.

ΔP = P° . Xm

where Xm is the mole fraction of solute, P° (vapor pressure of pure solvent)

and ΔP = Vapor pressure of pure solvent - Vapor pressure of solution.

In order to determine the vapor pressure of solution, we need to determine, the vapor pressure of B and A in the solution

B's pressure = P° B . Xm

When we add A to B, A works as the solute and B, as the solvent.

Vapor pressure of pure B is 135 torr. (P° B)

In order to determine, the Xm, we use the moles of A and B

Xm = 5.3 mol of B / (1.28 + 5.3) → 0.806

B's pressure = 135 Torr . 0.806 → 108.81 Torr

If mole fraction of B is 0.806, mole fraction for A (solute) will be (1 - 0.806)

A's pressure = 218 Torr . 0.194 → 42.3 Torr

Vapor pressure of solution is sum of vapor pressures of solute + solvent.

Vapor pressure of solution = 42.3 Torr + 108.81 Torr → 151.1 Torr

How much faster does ethane (C2H6) gas travel compared to chlorine gas?

zimovet [89]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{54 $\, \%$ faster }}$

Explanation:

$v_{\text{rms}} \propto \sqrt{\dfrac{3RT}{M}$

if temperature is constant.

$v_{\text{rms}} \propto \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{M}$

if we are comparing two gases,

$\dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{M_{1}}{M_{2}}}$

Let chlorine be Gas 1 and ethane be Gas 2

Data:

M₁ = 70.91 g/mol

M₂ = 30.07 g/mol

Calculation

$\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} & = & \sqrt{\dfrac{M_{1}}{M_{2}}}\\\\& = & \sqrt{\dfrac{70.91}{30.07}}\\\\& = & \sqrt{2.358}\\\\& = & \mathbf{1.54}\\\end{array}\\\text{Ethane molecules travel at 1.54 times the speed of chlorine molecules}\\\text{or $\large \boxed{\textbf{54 $\%$ faster }}$ than chlorine molecules}$

Inside stars in space, the nuclei of hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium atoms. This represents which form of energy?

mixas84 [53]

Explanation:

When two small nuclei combine together to form a large nuclei then it is known as nuclear fusion.

When nuclei of two hydrogen atoms fuse together then it results in the formation of a helium atom along with the release of lot of energy. This energy is nuclear energy.

This nuclear reaction is as follows.

$^{2}_{1}H + ^{3}_{1}H \rightarrow ^{4}_{2}He + ^{1}_{0}n + Energy$
