The health of coral colonies
The levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
This is because corals are very sensitive to changes in the ocean's properties pH being included. Warmer oceans dissolves more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere hence making the waters slightly acidic. This will affect coral resulting in bleaching. This negatively affects the marine ecosystems since corals are usually at the bottom of the energy pyramid in these ecosystems.

Chlorofluorocarbons are very harmful to the environment when released into the atmosphere. They damage the ozone layer and therefore allow more UV rays from sunlight to reach the earth’s surface. They also have a greenhouse effect causing the earth’s atmosphere to warm up. This ultimately leads to global warming and climate change.

It would allow storm systems to stall in an area
Jets streams are very significant in that they influence weather patterns across the world. They are responsible for the movement of pressure systems and global air cells and their accompanying weather patterns. Because they generally sit in between cold and warm air systems they are significant in moving these air masses around. When they are weak they cause an air system to linger including storms causing excessive flooding in an area.

Absorb and re-emit infrared radiation.
Produced by human activity
Greenhouse gases do not allow infrared radiation from the earth's surface to escape back to space. Infrared is the electromagnetic wave spectrum responsible for transferring heat energy. Therefore, when left to linger in the atmosphere, they cause the greenhouse effect. This is the reason for global warming.

Answer:Amplitude in a longitudinal wave
Explanation:Wave amplitude of a longitudinal wave is the distance between particles of the medium where it is compressed by the wave. Wave amplitude is determined by the energy of the disturbance that causes the wave. A wave caused by a disturbance with more energy has greater amplitude.
Question:
Zinc metal is added to hydrochloric acid to generate hydrogen gas and is collected over a liquid whose vapor pressure is the same as pure water at 20.0 degrees C (18 torr). The volume of the mixture is 1.7 L and its total pressure is 0.987 atm. Determine the number of moles of hydrogen gas present in the sample.
A. 0.272 mol
B. 0.04 mol
C. 0.997 mol
D. 0.139 mol
E. 0.0681 mol
Answer:
The correct option is;
E. 0.0681 mol
Explanation:
The equation for the reaction is
Zn + HCl = H₂ + ZnCl₂
Vapor pressure of the liquid = 18 torr = 2399.803 Pa
Total pressure of gas mixture H₂ + liquid vapor = 0.987 atm
= 100007.775 Pa
Therefore, by Avogadro's law, pressure of the hydrogen gas is given by the following equation
Pressure of H₂ = 100007.775 Pa - 2399.803 Pa = 97607.972 Pa
Volume of H₂ = 1.7 L = 0.0017 m³
Temperature = 20 °C = 293.15 K
Therefore,
Therefore, the number of moles of hydrogen gas present in the sample is n ≈ 0.0681 moles.
The H⁺ ion concentration can be calculated from pH values using the following equation:
![pH=-log[H⁺]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-log%5BH%E2%81%BA%5D)
1.) Given pH = 2
Using the above equation, 2 = - log [H⁺]
Therefore, [H⁺] = 10⁻² mol/L
2.) Given pH = 6
Using the same equation, we have 6 = - log [H⁺]
Hence, [H⁺] = 10⁻⁶ mol/L
3.) Taking the ratio of [H⁺] for pH = 2 and pH = 6, we have
= 10⁴
So, there are 10,000 times more H⁺ ions in a solution of pH = 2 than that of pH = 6.
