How does a greenhouse keep radiant energy from escaping?

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 />

Which causes an air conditioner to turn on
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

C.)house temperature increases cause the bimetallic coil to expand

Explanation:

A bimetallic strip is used in an air conditioner as a regulator. It is made up of two metals that behaves differently to a change in temperature.

To turn on the air conditoner, the circuit must be complete. When the temperature is high in a room, bimetallic strip responds by expanding and bending to complete the circuit. This puts on the air conditioner and the house begins to cool through exchange of warm and cold air.

When the temperature is too cold, the strip contracts and straightens. This process disconnects the circuit and the air conditioning system ceases to work.

What would be the major product obtained from hydroboration–oxidation of the following alkenes?
zmey [24]

Answer:

a. 3-methylbutan-2-ol

b. 2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol

Explanation:

For this reaction, we must remember that the hydroboration is an <u>"anti-Markovnikov" reaction</u>. This means that the "OH" will be added at the <em>least substituted carbon of the double bond.</em>

In the case of <u>2-methyl-2-butene</u>, the double bond is between carbons 2 and 3. Carbon 2 has two bonds with two methyls and carbon 3 is attached to 1 carbon. Therefore <u>the "OH" will be added to carbon three</u> producing <u>3-methylbutan-2-ol</u>.

For 1-methylcyclohexene, the double bond is between carbons 1 and 2. Carbon 1 is attached to two carbons (carbons 6 and 7) and carbon 2 is attached to one carbon (carbon 3). Therefore<u> the "OH" will be added to carbon 2</u> producing <u>2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol</u>.

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

Explain how a drought poses a threat to life and the biosphere. Use complete sentences.
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

A drought poses a huge threat to all life. If a drought occurred the entire food chain would disintegrate within months. There would be no water for any animals or plants. Small mammals would not be able to eat plants, and reptiles would not be able to the small animals, and so on. A drought can destroy an ecosystem in a short amount of time.

Water is only being moved into the air through water vapor, so the air will become hotter than water. Land is also not moving in the atmosphere and absorbing heat like air is, so air will also be hotter than land, depending on what the land is made of.

Through precipitation, water in the atmosphere can return to the hydrosphere or percolate into the ground to become groundwater—part of the geosphere. ... Water in the biosphere can be released into the atmosphere through transpiration in plants, or respiration in animals.
