Answer:

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is an important green house gas. A small increase in the concentration of this gas can lead to the global rise in the surface temperature. Over the last 100 years, this gas has increased significantly. One of the main cause behind this the anthropogenic activities.

After the setup of the industrial revolution, there has been a large increase in this CO₂ concentration, as there are numerous large factories and indutries that releases this harmful gases. In addition to this, the burning up of fossil fuel also is responsible for the emission of large amount of carbon into the atmosphere.

Deforestation also is another cause, because trees are no longer there in vast quantities which takes up a large number of atmospheric carbon and in return liberates plenty of oxygen.

Thus, the activities done by man over the last century has led to the increase in the concentration of CO₂ into the atmosphere.

WHAT IS THE PERCENT BY VOLUME OF ETHANOL IN A SOLUTION THAT CONTAINS 35 mL ETHANOL IN 115 mL OF WATER?
Dmitry [639]
We need to first add both of the solution volumes together 35+115=150. Now we can divide the volume of the ethanol by the total volume 35/150=.233. To double check we can multiply the total volume by the percentage of ethanol by volume we got as a solution 150x.233=35. So the percentage by volume of ethanol in the solution is .233x100=23.3%.

Solid lead IV oxide decomposes into solid lead and oxygen gas.
vredina [299]
The balanced equation for the decomposition of solid lead iv oxide is as follows: 2PbO2 = 2PbO + O2.
Lead IV oxide decompose to give lead ll oxide and oxygen. Lead iv oxide is thermally unstable and it usually decomposes into oxygen and lead ll oxide when heated. Lead ll oxide is more stable than lead lV oxide.
