Why is global warming called the greenhouse effect?

Chemistry

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.

TIME REMAINING 52:03 Considering the activity series given below for metals and nonmetals, which reaction will occur?
Luden [163]

Answer:

2NaBr + I2 Right arrow. 2NaI + Br2

2AgNO3 + Ni Right arrow. Ni(NO3)2 + 2Ag

Explanation:

The activity or electrochemical series is an arrangement of elements according to their order

of reactivity.

If we look at the reactions, one thing that we must note is that the reactions that can occur are those in which an element that is higher in the series displaces another element that is lower in the series.

Br is higher in the electrochemical series than I so it can displace it. Ni is higher than Ag in the electrochemical series hence it can displace it.

What is the name of the hydrocarbon CH3(CH2)6CH3?
Brums [2.3K]

Answer is: n-octane.

Octane is the straight-chain alkane (an acyclic saturated hydrocarbon) with eight carbon atoms.

Carbons in octane have sp3 hybridization (carbon’s 2s and three 2p orbitals combine into four identical sp3 orbitals).

Orbitals in sp3 hybridization have a tetrahedral arrangement and form single (sigma) bonds.

Burning octane fuel is very fast chemical reaction, it happens in immediately.

Main products of the combustion of fossil fuels are carbon(IV) oxide and water.  

Chemical reaction: C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O; ΔH = -5500 kJ/mol.

A gas has a solubility of 2.45 g/L at a pressure of 0.750 atm. What pressure wold be required to produce an aqueous solution con
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

1.91 atm

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate Henry's constant (k)

A gas has a solubility (C) of 2.45 g/L at a pressure (P) of 0.750 atm. These two variables are related to each other through Henry's law.

C = k × P

K = C/P

K = (2.45 g/L)/0.750 atm = 3.27 g/L.atm

Step 2: Calculate the pressure required to produce an aqueous solution containing 6.25 g/L of this gas at constant temperature.

We have C = 6.25 g/L and k = 3.27 g/L.atm. The required pressure is:

C = k × P

P = C/k

P = (6.25 g/L)/(3.27 g/L.atm) = 1.91 atm
