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 />

Lera25 [3.4K]

Question:

A chemistry student needs of 10 g isopropenylbenzene for an experiment. He has available 120 g of a 42.7% w/w solution of isopropenylbenzene in acetone. Calculate the mass of solution the student should use. If there's not enough solution, press the "No solution" button.

Answer:

The answer to the question is as follows

The mass of solution the student should use is 23.42 g.

Explanation:

To solve the question we note the following

A solution containing 42.7 % w/w of isopropenylbenzene in acetone  has 42.7 g of isopropenylbenzene in 100 grams of the solution

Therefore we have 10 g of isopropenylbenzene contained in

100 g * 10 g/ 42.7 g = 23.42 g of solution

Available solution = 120 g

Therefore the quantity to used from the available solution = 23.42 g of the isopropenylbenzene in acetone solution.

allsm [11]
<span>A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms, ions or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds. The bond may result from the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions as in ionic bonds; or through the sharing of electrons as in covalent bonds. The strength of chemical bonds varies considerably; there are "strong bonds" or "primary bond" such as metallic, covalent or ionic bonds and "weak bonds" or "secondary bond" such as Dipole-dipole interaction, the London dispersion force and hydrogen bonding.</span>

A structural model of retinol is shown below. How many hydrogen atoms are
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

A. 30

Explanation:

Retinol is the chemical form of Vitamin A. It has a chemical formula of C20H30O.

It is processed when retinyl palmitate is broken down in the small intestine. Retinol helps in the proper regulation of eye cells hence a vital component in ensuring good eye sight.

It also helps in the neutralization of free radicals in the body and acts as an antioxidant which prevents cells of the body from ageing.
