How have humans contributed to an increase in carbon dioxide levels in the past 100 years?

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.

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{D. 23.34 min}}

Explanation:

1. Find the order of reaction

Use information from the graph to find the order.

If a plot of ln[A] vs time is linear, the reaction is first order and the slope = -k.

2. Find the  half-life

k = \dfrac{\ln2}{ t_{\frac{1}{2}}}\\\\k = \text{-slope} = -(-2.97 \times 10^{-2} \text{ min}^{-1}) =2.97 \times 10^{-2} \text{ min}^{-1} \\ t_{\frac{1}{2}} =\dfrac{\ln 2}{k} = \dfrac{\ln 2}{2.97 \times 10^{-2}\text{ min}^{-1}} =\textbf{23.34 min}\\\\\text{The half-life is $\large \boxed{\textbf{23.34 min}}$}

predict the sign on the thermodynamic quantities listed below based on the scene representing a physical change in a piston-cyli
brilliants [131]

Based on a scene showing a physical change in a piston-cylinder assembly, the thermodynamic numbers indicated below are 760 torr 760.

<h3>What elements make up the first rule of thermodynamics?</h3>

The first law of thermodynamics states that the following equation describes how the change in internal energy relates to the heat exchanged by the system and the work performed on or by the system: U = Q + W, where Q represents the heat energy that the system exchanged.

<h3>What are the thermodynamic quantities' two components?</h3>

Extensive and intensive thermodynamic quantities are traditionally separated into these two categories. While intensive quantities are independent of system size, extensive quantities grow linearly with system size.

Marianna [84]
The equation is L = m/M
First, covert 10. grams of AgNO3 to moles which is 0.059 moles.
Divide 0.059 moles by 0.25M which is 0.24 liters.

Explain interaction between sun system and hydrosphere
qwelly [4]

Both the Sun and the Earth are sources of heat that power an interconnected set of dynamic systems (lithosphere, hydrosphere & cryosphere, atmosphere, biosphere).

Within the Sun, heat is transferred by radiation and convection, which involves circulation of hydrogen ions. Within the Earth heat is transferred by conduction and convection, which involves circulation of silicates in the mantle and the crust, and by the circulation of iron in the liquid outer core. On the surface of the Earth and the atmosphere, heat emanating largely from the Sun is transferred by convection, which involving the circulation of water and carbon. Both the Sun and the Earth and their atmospheres are layered. Both systems evolve and change.
