Answer:

The reaction that occurs is a redox reaction. The Copper metal (Cu 0)on the copper pennies is oxidized in concentrated nitric acid to produce Cu2+ ions. Copper is easily oxidized to Cu2+, which is blue in aqueous solutions (water) so you should see the solution turn blue as the copper penny reacts.

Have a nice day ;)(^-^)

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

For this question, we have to remember the effect of an atom with high electronegativity as "Br". If the "Br" atom is closer to the carboxylic acid group (COOH) we will have an inductive effect. Due to the electronegativity of Br, the electrons of the C-H bond would be to the Br, then this bond would be weaker and the compound will be more acid (because is easier to produce the hydronium ion $H^+$ ).

With this in mind, for A in the last compound, we have 2 Br atoms near to the acid carboxylic group, so, we will have a high inductive effect, then the C-H would be weaker and we will have more acidity. Then we will have the compound with only 1 Br atom and finally, the last compound would be the one without Br atoms.

In B, the difference between the molecules is the position of the "Br" atom in the molecule. If the Br atom is closer to the acid group we will have a higher inductive effect and more acidity.

Greenhouse gases released from the burning of fossil fuels are responsible for global warming.

<h3>What is the atmosphere?</h3>

The atmosphere is the region of region of the planet above its surface area where gases envelop the planet.

Based on the effect of greenhouse gases on global warming;

Planet A has a higher surface temperature due to the higher amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas.

Methane is the main constituent of natural gas. Humans increase the contribute to increase in methane gas by raising cattle,

Pollutants come from both natural sources and human activities.

Sulfur Dioxide is produced by the combustion of fuels in automobiles. Once in the atmosphere, it combine with water to form acid precipitation.

Nitrogen and oxygen do not contribute to the greenhouse effect because they are made up of 2 atom molecules that are bound tightly so they CANNOT vibrate to absorb energy.
Greenhouse gases contribute to global warming by absorbing infrared energy that reflects off Earth's surface and reemitting the energy in all directions. This keeps the infrared energy close to the Earth's surface.
