The answer is 3. The releasing of energy means exothermic reaction. So the ΔH should be negative. And the greatest quantity of energy released means that the greatest number. So according to the table I, the answer is 3.
Answer:
(3) NaNO₃
Step-by-step explanation:
Sodium nitrate has ionic bonds, because it consists of Na⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions.
However, the nitrate ions have <em>covalent bonds</em> between the O atoms and the central N atoms.
(1) and (2) are <em>wrong</em>. Both N₂O₅ and HCl consist of nonmetals, so they are <em>covalent</em> compounds.
(4) is <em>wrong</em>. NaCl has <em>only ionic bonds</em> between the Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions
Answer:
Carbon dioxide levels in the Earth's atmosphere have been steadily increasing.
Carbon has a longer average lifetime in the atmosphere.
Explanation:
Today the level of carbon dioxide is higher than at any time in human history. Scientists widely agree that Earth’s average surface temperature has already increased by about 2 F (1 C) since the 1880s, and that human-caused increases in carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases are extremely likely to be responsible.
The lifetime in the air of CO2, the most significant man-made greenhouse gas, is probably the most difficult to determine, because there are several processes that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Between 65% and 80% of CO2 released into the air dissolves into the ocean over a period of 20–200 years.
