Answer:

True

Explanation:

The desert refers to a region of arid land which is characterized by extreme temperatures, extreme dryness, low amount of precipitation and generally harsh living conditions. Because of these harsh conditions, they have been tagged with various names ranging from 'Death Valley' to 'the place from where there is no return' etc.

Every desert is made up of 2 components:  the <u>biotic (living) component</u> and the <u>abiotic (non-living) component</u>. The biotic (living) component consists of the plants and animals that have adapted to these harsh living conditions e.g. Cactus or Cacti, Holly plants, Camels, Lizards, Snakes etc. The abiotic (non-living) component consists of climate (subtropical deserts which are extremely cold or temperate deserts which are extremely hot), location, precipitation/rainfall

Combustion of hydrocarbons such as undecane (_____) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's
____ [38]

Answer: Undecane, C11H24 is a liquid hydrocarbon from the alkane homologue ( family ).

Explanation:

All hydrocarbons burn in air to release H20 and CO2.

Combustion of hydrocarbons thus increases the percentage of CO2 present in the atmosphere which is not so good as CO2 is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases produce the greenhouse effect. The green house effect is the warming effect produced when gases present in the atmosphere allow and retain the radiation from the sun to the earth. Examples of greenhouse gases are CO2, CH4, SO3, NO, CFCs. The greenhouse effect leads to an increase in the temperature of the earth subsequently leading to (I) melting of large amounts of ice at the poles causing flooding. (II) rapid evaporation of water from Earth’s surface. (III) decrease in crop yield.

Also, high concentration CFCs ( chlorofluorocarbons ), as widely used in aerosols, coolants and packaging foams, in the atmosphere depletes the ozone layer leading to global warming. In 1996 an international agreement was reached for a complete ban of CFCs and more countries are now going Green ( using alternative energy sources ) so as to minimize emissions of these greenhouse gases

Law of Conservation of Mass in terms of atoms
VARVARA [1.3K]

No atoms are lost or made during the chemical reaction so the total mass of the products is equal to the total mass of the reactants. In an atom, protons and neutrons contribute to the mass and since the number of them doesn’t change, the mass doesn’t either.
