Answer:

d.

Explanation:

In the past 150 years, the human population had increased, and the use of fossil fuels (coal and petroleum) increased too, especially to attend the human necessity of energy. When the wood and fossil fuels are burned, the principal reaction products are CO₂ and water.

When the CO₂ achieves the atmosphere, it impedes the Sun rays that come to Earth's surface to return to space, which is called the greenhouse effect. Wich large amounts of these and other gases, more radiation stays on Earth, and warmer it becomes.

So, analyzing the statements:

a. The primary production is the production made by the plants, which uses CO₂ and the Sunlight to produce their food, so it doesn't increase the CO₂ concentration. FALSE

b. The standing crop is the number of plants in determined space, so, an increase of it would increase the consumption of CO₂ to primary production. FALSE

c. The increase of the radiation absorbed by the atmosphere is an effect of the increase of the concentration of CO₂, and not what causes it. FALSE

d. Is the correct answer, as explained above.

e. The respiration of the human population produces CO₂ as a product, but it's much smaller than the one produced by the burning of fossil fuels. FALSE

What does the 4 mean in the formula4Na2SO3
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

4 means there are four molecules of Na₂SO₃.

Explanation:

Molecule:

A molecule is the smaller particle which can exist independently.

It may be monoatomic , diatomic, triatomic etc.

For example,

Hydrogen molecule consist of two atoms H₂

Nitrogen molecule = N₂

It may be combination of atoms of different elements.

HCl, H₂SO₄,Na₂SO₃

HCl = 1 mole of hydrochloric acid or one molecules of hydrochloric acid

H₂SO₄= 1 mole of sulfuric acid or one molecule of sulfuric acid

Na₂SO₃ = 1 mole of sodium sulfite or one molecule of sodium sulfite.

4Na₂SO₃ = 4 mole of sodium sulfite or four molecule of sodium sulfite.

The coefficient before the formula indicate the total number of molecules.

2. How will the equilibrium shift if the following changes are made? State if the reaction will shift
Kamila [148]

Please give me brainleist. :)

Answer:

2a. If the temperature is increased, the reaction will shift to the right in an attempt to release some of the heat. As the forward reaction loses heat while the reverse would create more heat.

2b. If the pressure is increased, it would shift to the left to counteract the increase in pressure as the left side will have fewer molecules.

2c. If Cl2 is added the reaction will shift to the left in order to remove the stress of the extra Cl2 and favor the production of more reactant.

2d. If PCl3 is removed, the reaction will shift to the right. When part of the equation is removed the reaction learns to adapt to the loss by trying to make more Pcl3 and counteract the effects of losing the PCl3.

3a. The reaction will shift to the right to produce more heat and counter the negative effects of losing the heat.

3b. It will shift to the left to get rid of the excess HCl being produced and form more reactant from the breakdown of the HCl.

3c. It would shift to the right in order to get rid of the excess form products from it.

3d. If pressure is decreased there will be no effect on the shift of the reaction because there is an even amount of moles of gas on each side.

4a. K=[N2O4(g0] / [NO2(g)]2

4b. (Below)

K=[N2O4(g)] / [NO2(g)]2

0.4 / 0.5(2)

0.4/0.25 = 1.6

Keq= 1.6
