Answer:

A

Explanation:

Chlorofluorocarbons generally abbreviated as CFCs are a group of organic chemicals used in several household and industrial materials and are responsible for global warming and ozone depletion.

Global warming is the general increase in the atmospheric temperature of the earth continually over the years. It is a direct consequence of climate change which is caused by the continuous release of green house gases into the atmosphere which trap radiated heat from the sun.

Ozone depletion involves anthropogenic activities which lead to decreasing the natural spread of the ozone layer which prevents the direct contact between the sun UV radiation and the earth.

CFCs are implicated in both cases as they are responsible for the two I.e they cause global warming and also deplete the ozone layer. Years back they are basically used in most aerosol cans like perfumes spray, insecticide spray etc. However as a result of the increased knowledge of their dangers, there had been legislations which had cut down on their continuous usage with alternatives being used

What is polar satellites????​
katrin [286]

Answer:

polar orbit is one in which a satellite passes above or nearly above both poles of the body being orbited (usually a planet such as the Earth, but possibly another body such as the Moon or Sun) on each revolution. It has an inclination of about 60 - 90 degrees to the body's equator.[1] A satellite in a polar orbit will pass over the equator at a different longitude on each of its orbits.

Launching satellites into polar orbit requires a larger launch vehicle to launch a given payload to a given altitude than for a near-equatorial orbit at the same altitude, due to the fact that much less of the Earth's rotational velocity can be taken advantage of to achieve orbit. Depending on the location of the launch site and the inclination of the polar orbit, the launch vehicle may lose up to 460 m/s of Delta-v, approximately 5% of the Delta-v required to attain Low Earth orbit. Polar orbits are a subtype of Low Earth orbits with altitudes between 200 and 1,000 kilometers.[1]

explain why samples of gold and copper can have the same extensive properties, but not the same intensive properties
vivado [14]
Extensive properties, as volume and mass, depend on the amount of material. So, you can have a sample of gold and a sample of copper with the same volume as long as you have different amount of each one.

On the other hand, intensive properties do not depend on the amound of material but on the chemical constitution of the material. Density is an intensive property, so gold and copper have different densities. That is why you can use intensive properties to characterize different materials.

A 0.0200 gram piece of unknown alkaline earth metal, M, is reacted with excess 0.500 M H 2 SO 4 , and the hydrogen gas produced
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

0.981atm

Explanation:

According ot Dalton's law total pressure of a mixture of non-reactive gas is equal to sum of partial pressures of individual gases.

total pressure= 1.01at

Number of gases=2

Gases: water vapor and hydrogen

partial pressure of water vapor= 0.029atm

1.01= partial pressure of water vapor+ partial pressure of hydrogen

1.01= 0.029 + partial pressure of hydrogen

partial pressure of hydrogen = 0.981atm
