Carbon dioxide is a gas having chemical formula CO_{2}, 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).

Even though carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless gas, it is still considered a pollutant because D. it increases the warming of the atmosphere.
Global warming is the result of the abundance of carbon dioxide on Earth, which is why ecologists and environmentalists do everything in their power to raise awareness of this problem.

Propose a method for determining the specific heat for a metal like sodium which reacts violently with water.
nalin [4]
You can put a known amount sodium into some sort of time release mechanism such as a pill made from soluble material.  Then you can place the sodium into a calorimeter with a known mass of water and record the temperature change the water undergoes during the reaction.  Then you can use the equation q(water)=m(water)c(water)ΔT to find the amount of heat absorbed by the water.  since the amount of heat absorbed by the water is the amount of heat released from the sodium, q(sodium)=-q(water).  Than you can use the equation q(sodium)=m(sodium)c(sodium)ΔT and solve for c(sodium)

I hope this helps and feel free to ask about anything that was unclear in the comments.

There are four different starting molecules that one might use to synthesize the illustrated alkyl halide as the major product u
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

An electrophilic addition reaction occurs when an electrophile attacks a substrate, with the end result being the inclusion of one or many comparatively straightforward molecules along with multiple bonds.

In the given question, the hydrogen bromide provides the electrophile while the bromide is the nucleophile. The mechanism proceeds with the attack of the electrophile on the carbon, followed by deprotonation. This process is continued with a formation of carbocation and the bromide(nucleophile) finally bonds to the carbocation to form a stable product.

The first diagram showcases the possible various starting molecules for the synthesis while the second diagram illustrates their mechanism.
