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.

What is the molecular structure of water? What are the physical and chemical properties of water?
Slav-nsk [51]
Water (H
2O) is a polar inorganic compound that is at room temperature a tasteless and odorless liquid, which is nearly colorless apart from an inherent hint of blue. It is by far the most studied chemical compound and is described as the "universal solvent" [18][19] and the "solvent of life".[20] It is the most abundant substance on Earth[21] and the only common substance to exist as a solid, liquid, and gas on Earth's surface.[22] It is also the third most abundant molecule in the universe.[21]

Consider the reaction 2Al + 6HBr → 2AlBr3 + 3H2. If 8 moles of Al react with 8 moles of HBr, what is the limiting reactant?
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:- HBr is limiting reactant.

Solution:- The given balanced equation is:

2Al+6HBr\rightarrow 2AlBr_3+3H_2

From this equation, There is 2:6 mol or 1:3 mol ratio between Al and HBr. Since we have 8 moles of each, HBr is the limiting reactant as we need 3 moles of HBr for each mol of Al.

The calculations could be shown as:

8molAl(\frac{6molHBr}{2molAl})

= 24 mol HBr

From calculations, 24 moles of HBr are required to react completely with 8 moles of Al but only 8 moles of it are available. It clearly indicates, HBr is limiting reactant.
