Answer:

Carbon dioxide levels in the Earth's atmosphere have been steadily increasing.

Carbon has a longer average lifetime in the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Today the level of carbon dioxide is higher than at any time in human history. Scientists widely agree that Earth’s average surface temperature has already increased by about 2 F (1 C) since the 1880s, and that human-caused increases in carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases are extremely likely to be responsible.

The lifetime in the air of CO2, the most significant man-made greenhouse gas, is probably the most difficult to determine, because there are several processes that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Between 65% and 80% of CO2 released into the air dissolves into the ocean over a period of 20–200 years.

Briefly describe bohr's model postulates and its limitations.​
ch4aika [34]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>Bohr's Model postulates-</u>

I postulate - The electrons in an atom orbit around the nucleus in definite circular paths called orbits or shells.

II Postulate - Each shell or orbit represents a specific amount of energy.

III Postulate - By emitting or absorbing energy, an electron may shift from one stationary energy orbit to another.

<u>Three main Limitations -</u>

1- It adjusts to the hydrogen atom's spectrum but not to the spectra of other atoms.

2 - In the definition of the electron as a tiny particle that spins around the atomic nucleus, the wave properties of the electron are not described.

3- Bohr is unable to understand why classical electromagnetism is inapplicable to his model. That is why, when electrons are in a stationary orbit, they do not emit electromagnetic radiation.

Explanation:

<u>About Bohr's postulates-</u>

1 - The electron spins in circling circles around the nucleus, emitting no energy. The orbital angular momentum is constant in these orbits.

Only certain radii of orbits, corresponding to certain given energy levels, are required for electrons in an atom.

2- Not every orbit is possible. However, whenever an electron is in a legal orbit, it is in a state of unique and constant energy and does not emit energy (stationary energy orbit).

<u>For example -</u> The energies allowed for electrons in the hydrogen atom are given by the following equation: The Rydberg constant for the hydrogen atom is -2.8\times10^-^1^8 in this equation, and n = quantum number will range from 1 to ∞. For each of the values of n, the electron energies of a hydrogen atom produced by the above equation are negative. As n rises, the energy becomes less negative and thus rises.

3- By emitting or absorbing energy, an electron may shift from one stationary energy orbit to another.

The energy difference between the two states would be equal to the energy released or consumed. This energy E is in the form of a photon, and it can be measured using the following formula:

    E=hv

E is the energy (absorbed or emitted) in this equation, and h is the Planck constant (its value is 6.63\times10^-^3^4 Js) and v denotes the frequency of light, which is calculated in 1/ s.

Menthol, the substance we can smell in mentholated cough drops, is composed of C, H, and O. A 0.1005 g sample of menthol is comb
Bogdan [553]

<u>Answer:</u> The molecular formula for the menthol is C_{10}H_{20}O

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of CO_2=0.2829g

Mass of H_2O=0.1159g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

  • <u>For calculating the mass of carbon:</u>

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 0.2829 g of carbon dioxide, \frac{12}{44}\times 0.2829=0.077g of carbon will be contained.

  • <u>For calculating the mass of hydrogen:</u>

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 0.1159 g of water, \frac{2}{18}\times 0.1159=0.0129g of hydrogen will be contained.

  • Mass of oxygen in the compound = (0.1005) - (0.077 + 0.0129) = 0.0106 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

  • <u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = \frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.077g}{12g/mole}=0.0064moles

Moles of Hydrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.0129g}{1g/mole}=0.0129moles

Moles of Oxygen = \frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.0106g}{16g/mole}=0.00066moles

  • <u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.00066 moles.

For Carbon = \frac{0.0064}{0.00066}=9.69\approx 10

For Hydrogen  = \frac{0.0129}{0.00064}=19.54\approx 20

For Oxygen  = \frac{0.00066}{0.00066}=1

  • <u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 10 : 20 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is C_{10}H_{20}O_1=C_{10}H_{20}O

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 156.27 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 156 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

n=\frac{156.27g/mol}{156g/mol}=1

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

C_{(1\times 10)}H_{(1\times 20)}O_{(1\times 1)}=C_{10}H_{20}O

Thus, the molecular formula for the menthol is C_{10}H_{20}O

If you can smell your grandmother’s perfume from across the room, you are experiencing the result of which liquid property?
cestrela7 [59]
The appropriate answer is D. volatility. Volatility refers to the susceptibility of liquids to vaporize. Perfume is liquid when applied but because of volatility, it has a tendency to vaporize and so it will convert to a gas and diffuse across the room. The process by which a liquid changes to a vapor is called evaporation.
