Answer: С . The temperature increases by about 12°C and then decreases by about 12°C.

Explanation:

Temperatures around the world have been on the rise since the Industrial revolution as humans clog the planet with Carbon Dioxide and other pollutants. This had led to a rise in temperatures that has seen ice levels fall and sea levels rise around the world.

Temperature fluctuations on the other hand are not a new thing. Studies show that in Antarctica temperatures from about 440,000 years ago to about 340,000 years ago increased by 12°C and then decreased by about 12°C.

Answer:

  C.  The temperature increases by about 12°C and then decreases by about 12°C.

Explanation:

The attached shows ice core data that indicates the time period of interest was about the period of one full cycle of climate change. Temperature went up, then went down again to about its original level. The range of change was on the order of 12 °C.

How many mL of alcohol are in 240 mL of 95.0% alcohol solution?
tino4ka555 [31]
To work it out, you divide 240 by 100 to work out 1% of it, then multiply that by 95 to work out 95% of it. So
(240/100) * 95 = 228mL

Why is the increasing amount of carbon dioxide being taken up by the oceans a cause for concern?
Anna007 [38]

Answer;

-More carbon dioxide causes an increase in carbonic acid (H2CO3) which leads to a decrease in the concentration of carbonate ion (CO32-).

Explanation;

-Carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere whenever people burn fossil fuels. Oceans play an important role in keeping the Earth's carbon cycle in balance.

-As the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases, the oceans absorb a lot of it. In the ocean, carbon dioxide reacts with seawater to form carbonic acid which causes the acidity of seawater to increase.

-As long as we keep putting extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the acidity of the ocean will continue to increase. The effect is that; Increasing acidity makes it harder for corals to build skeletons and for shellfish to build the shells they need for protection. Corals are particularly important because they provide homes for many other sea creatures.

Consider the reaction between reactants s and o2: 2s(s)+3o2(g)→2so3(g)if a reaction vessel initially contains 7 mols and 9 mol o
nadya68 [22]

Answer: -

1 mol

Explanation: -

Number of moles of Sulphur S = 7

Number of moles of O2 = 9

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

2S (s)+3 O2 (g)→2SO3(g)

From the above reaction we can see that

3 mol of O2 react with 2 mol of S

9 mol of O2 will react with \frac{2 mol S x 9 mol O2}{3 mol O2}

= 6 mol of S

Unreacted S = 7 - = 1 mol.

If a reaction vessel initially contains 7 mol S and 9 mol O2

1 mole of s will be in the reaction vessel once the reactants have reacted as much as possible
