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.

When an aqueous solution of silver nitrate is

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

$K^{+}$ and $NO_{3}^{-}$

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is AgNO3(aq) + KCl(aq) ==> AgCl(s) + KNO3(aq)

With all the ions, it is

$Ag^{+}$ (aq) + $NO_{3} ^{-}$ (aq) + $K^{+}$ (aq) + $Cl^{-}$ (aq) ==> AgCl(s) +

$K^{+}$ and $NO_{3} ^{-}$ do not change, so they are the spectator ions and are removed

The ionic equation is:

$Ag^{+}$ (aq) + $Cl^{-}$ (aq) ==> AgCl(s)

dedylja [7]

Answer:

ion

However atoms may gain or lose electrons in ordinary chemical reactions. If an atom has the same number of electrons as protons, it is a neutral atom. If it has a net charge, (more or less electrons than protons) it is an ion. If it has more electrons than protons it has a net negative charge and is known as an anion.
