Greenhouse effect is the process of trapping sun radiation in the earth surface, so as to make the planet warm. It is a natural phenomenon in which sun rays that enters the earth surface are re-radiated into the earth surface causing the heat trap in the earth.
In similar manner, green house also trap radiation inside the glass house. The sun rays once reach inside the glass house, strike on plants and objects and reflected back. For entire radiation to escape from the green house, the heat flow between the two points must be proportional to the temperature difference and thermal conductivity. The glass of which the green house are made up, have low thermal conductivity. So, temperature must rise inside glass house so to maintain the heat flow rate of incoming and outgoing radiation.
The green house glass are insulated and they trap the infrared emitted by the objects inside the green house from escaping outside. Since the infrared have longer wave lengths, it is released slowly. 

Also, the thermal energy inside the glass house are transferred by convection process. But the glass walls and roof act as insulator, keeping the radiant energy from escaping outside the green house.<span />

40 g of CaCO3 is how many moles of CaCO3?<br> 10 moles<br> 0.4 moles<br> 40 moles<br> 100 moles
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

0.4 moles

Explanation:

To convert between moles and grams you need the molar mass of the compound. The molar mass of of CaCO3 is 100.09g/mol. You use that as the unit converter.

40gCaCO3* 1mol CaCO3/100.09gCaCO3 = 0.399640 mol CaCO3

This rounds to 0.4 moles CaCO3

Two 10g blocks, one of copper and one of iron, were heated from 300 K to 400K (a temperature difference of 100 K).
12345 [234]

1) 385 J

2) 450 J

Explanation:

1)

The amount of energy that must be absorbed by a certain substance in order to increase its temperature by \Delta T is given by the equation:

Q=mC\Delta T

where

m is the mass of the substance

C is its specific heat capacity

\Delta T is the increase in temperature of the substance

For the block of copper in this problem, we have:

m = 10 g is the mass

C=0.385 J/gK is the specific heat capacity of copper

\Delta T=400-300 = 100 K is the change in temperature

So, the energy absorbed by the block of copper is

Q=(10)(0.385)(100)=385 J

2)

Similarly for the block of iron, the energy absorbed by the iron is given by

Q=mC\Delta T

where

m is the mass of the block of iron

C is its specific heat capacity of iron

\Delta T is the increase in temperature of the block

Here we have:

m = 10 g is the mass of the block

C=0.450 J/gK is the specific heat capacity of iron

\Delta T=400-300 = 100 K is the change in temperature

So, the energy absorbed by the block of iron is

Q=(10)(0.450)(100)=450 J

4) Find the mass of 1.46 mol of Al2(SO4)3.
ddd [48]

Answer:

1.46mol of Al2(SO4)3 weights 499.5 grams

Explanation:

First we will find the gram formula mass of Al2(SO4)3.

Al * 2 = 26.98 g/mol * 2 = 53.96 g

SO4 * 3 = 96.06 g/mol * 3 = 288.18

53.96 + 288.18 = 342.14 g

That is the mass of 1 mol of AL2(SO4)3.

Now we will multiply 342.14g by 1.46.

342.14 * 1.46 = 499.5244 g

Or ... 499.5 g
