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.

A student increases the temperature of a 417cm³ balloon from 278k to 231k. Assuming constant pressure, what should the new volum

viva [34]

Charles law states that volume of gas is directly proportional to temperature at constant pressure
V/T = k
where V - volume , T - temperature and k - constant
$\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}$
where parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation

in the question it states that the temperature has been increased from 278 K to 231 K but it should actually be temperature is decreased from 278 K to 308 K
substituting the values in the equation
$\frac{417cm^{3} }{278K} = \frac{V}{308 K}$
V = 462 cm³
the answer should be D. 462 cm³

13. What is the atomic mass of an atom if its mass is approximately equal to the following? 1 a. that of carbon-12 b. 4.5 times

12345 [234]

The atomic mass of an atom if its mass is approximately equal to carbon-12 will be 12 and in case of 4.5 times carbon-12 will be 54

Atomic mass of an element is the average mass of the atoms of an element which are measured in atomic mass unit. Or we can also say that the atomic mass is actually the weighted mass is a weighted average of all of the isotopes of elements, in which the mass of each element is multiplied by the abundance of that particular isotope.

So the atomic mass of an atom if the mass is approximately equal to carbon-12 then the mass of the element will be equal to 12 as the atomic mass of carbon-12 is 12.

where as the atomic mass of an atom if its mass is approximately equal to 4.5 times as much as carbon-12 will be ⇒ 4.5×12= 54

Technetium (Tc; Z = 43) is a synthetic element used as a radioactive tracer in medical studies. A Tc atom emits a beta particle

Sedaia [141]

Question in incomplete, complete question is:

Technetium (Tc; Z = 43) is a synthetic element used as a radioactive tracer in medical studies. A Tc atom emits a beta particle (electron) with a kinetic energy (Ek) of $4.71\times 10^{-15}J$ . What is the de Broglie wavelength of this electron (Ek = ½mv²)?
