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 />

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

G]ns^2np^5 group 17 (p-block)

G]ns^2np^2 group 14 (p-block)

G]ns^2mf^14 group 16 (f-block)

Explanation:

The outermost electronic configuration of an element shows the group to which it belongs in the periodic table as shown above in the answer. In addition, to that, we can be able to know from its electronic configuration, whether the element is a metal or not.

For instance;

G]ns^2mf^14 is a rare earth metal, G]ns^2np^2 group 14 is a metalloid while G]ns^2np^5 group 17 is a nonmetal.

Calculate the number of joules released when 72.5 grams of water at 95.0 degrees Celsius cools to a final temperature of 28.0 de
Airida [17]
Water's specific heat capacity is 4200 J/Kg°C
95-28=67
72.5grams in kg is 0.0725kg
Energy = 67×0.0725×4200
Energy = 20,401.5 J or 20.4015 kJ

What is the volume when the density is 7.83g/ml and 19.6 grams?
insens350 [35]
To fine volume, you have to divide the mass by the density of the substance. in this, you’ll do 19.6/7.83=2.50
