Carbon dioxide is a gas having chemical formula 
, a gas which exhaled by humans and inhaled by plants. It is also emitted from the sources such as cement production and combustion of fossil fuels. It is also known as greenhouse gas associated with acidification of ocean.
Carbon dioxide with other gases acts like a blanket of Earth which absorbs infrared radiations emitted from the sun and thus, preventing the escaping of these rays into the outer space which results in the gradual heating of Earth's surface and atmosphere i.e. increase in temperature of Earth. This process is known as Global Warming.
Hence, carbon dioxide is responsible for the increase in warming of the atmosphere i.e. option (D).
Answer:
2
Explanation:
In two reactions energy is released.
1) C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6H₂O + 6CO₂ + heat
It is cellular respiration reaction.It involves the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.
Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP
2) 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O ΔH = -486 kj/mol
The given reaction is formation of water. In this reaction oxygen and hydrogen react to form water and 486 kj/mol is also released.
The reaction in which heat is released is called exothermic reaction.
Exothermic reaction:
The type of reactions in which energy is released are called exothermic reactions.
In this type of reaction energy needed to break the bonds are less than the energy released during the bond formation.
For example:
Chemical equation:
C + O₂ → CO₂
ΔH = -393 Kj/mol
it can be written as,
C + O₂ → CO₂ + 393 Kj/mol
Endothermic reactions:
The type of reactions in which energy is absorbed are called endothermic reactions.
In this type of reaction energy needed to break the bond are higher than the energy released during bond formation.
For example:
C + H₂O → CO + H₂
ΔH = +131 kj/mol
it can be written as,
C + H₂O + 131 kj/mol → CO + H₂
<span>The smallest unit of a compound is called a molecule. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or the penultimate option or option "B". The other choices are incorrrect and can be negated. I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your desired help.</span>
