The greenhouse effect<span> is the process by the temperature of surface of earth increases because of earth's atmosphere. 

Mechanism:
</span>

Sun emits a broad band of visible light spanning from red to blue colour. In addition to this, it emits UV and IR radiation. Infrared radiations have wavelength longer than IR, while UV ray have wavelength shorter than visible light. Each of these radiations are received on the earth's surface. On receiving radiation, part of it is absorbed by earth and remaining is reflected back. Generally, light of longer wavelength (IR) is reflected to larger extend as compared to shorter wavelength.  Due to this, air present in atmosphere gets heated up. It must be noted that,  molecule like CO2, which is present in air absorbs light from both direct and reflected  fraction of light. This phenomenon is referred as  green house effect. Molecule which absorb long wavelength light (IR) are present in atmosphere due to human activities. Hence, green house effect is often considered to arise because of human activities of altering the composition of air.

Calculate the Molarity when a 6.11 mL solution of 0.1 H2SO4 is diluted with 105.12 mL of water
barxatty [35]

Molarity after dilution : 0.0058 M

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The number of moles before and after dilution is the same  

The dilution formula

 M₁V₁=M₂V₂

M₁ = Molarity of the solution before dilution  

V₁ = volume of the solution before dilution  

M₂ = Molarity of the solution after dilution  

V₂ = Molarity volume of the solution after dilution

M₁=0.1 M

V₁=6.11

V₂=105.12

\tt M_2=\dfrac{M_1.V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{0.1\times 6.11}{105.12}=0.0058~M

Draw the product formed when the compound shown below undergoes a reaction with hcl in ch2cl2.
Taya2010 [7]
 The product formed  when HCl and CH2Cl2 react  is   CH4
         H
     H-C- H    methane structure 
         H

  HCl    react with CH2Cl2  to form  methane (CH4) and chlorine gas(Cl2)
that is,

2HCl(g)  + CH2Cl2(l)  = CH4 (g) +2Cl2 (g)
