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 />

If you were asked to convert 25 cg to the unit hg, which of the following would be the first fraction used in the conversion? on
zhannawk [14.2K]
We are asked to convert 25 cg to units of hg.

1 cg = 1 centigram = 10⁻² g
1 hg = 1 hectogram = 10² g

The options given are:

a) 1 hg/ 10² g
b) 10² cg/ 1 hg
c) 10² hg/ 1 cg
d) 10⁻² g/ 1 cg

To convert 25 cg to 1 hg, we could convert the 25 cg to grams first, then grams to hg.

25 cg · 10⁻² g/ 1cg = 0.25 g

Here we have converted our number from cg to grams. We can use another conversion of grams to hg to complete the conversion.

0.25 g · 1 hg/ 10² g = 0.0025 hg

Therefore, the first conversion we used was d) 10⁻² g/ 1 cg.

B. If an objects velocity changes, it is either experiencing acceleration or deceleration 
C. If an object is said to be decelerating, its velocity must be decreasing.
D. If an objects velocity remains constant, its acceleration is zero. 

∴ B is correct

Adding O2 to the reaction 6CO2 + 6H2O &lt;---&gt; C6H12O6 + 6O2, WHICH WAY WILL THE REACTION SHIFT?
Alex73 [517]

Increase in Oxygen shift the equilibrium towards reactant side.

<u>Explanation:</u>

6CO₂ + 6H₂O ⇄ C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

This is the reaction occurs in the photosynthesis of plants by means of sunlight. In this case, if the concentration of Oxygen increases or adding more oxygen to the product side will shift the equilibrium towards the reactant side according to the Le Chatlier's principle, which adjusts the equilibrium by itself for any changes that is increase or decrease in pressure, temperature or concentration of reactants or products.
