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.

Calculate the energy of a photon of this light wave in joules. [Show all calculations, including the equation and substitution w

Ket [755]

The energy of the photon from the calculation performed is 3.5 * 10^-16 J.

<h3>What is a photon?</h3>

A photon is a packet of light. It was derived from the theory of Albert Einstein. The energy of a photon is obtained from; E = hc/λ

h= Plank's constant
c = speed of light
λ = wavelength

Now we have that;

E = 6.6 * 10^-34 * 3 * 10^8/562 * 10^-9

E = 3.5 * 10^-16 J

Hydrogen, a potential future fuel, can be produced from carbon (from coal) and steam by the following reaction: C(s)+2H2O(g)→2H2

madam [21]

The question is incomplete , complete question is:

Hydrogen, a potential future fuel, can be produced from carbon (from coal) and steam by the following reaction:

$C(s)+ 2 H_2O(g)\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+CO_2(g).\Delta H=?$

Note that the average bond energy for the breaking of a bond in CO2 is 799 kJ/mol. Use average bond energies to calculate ΔH of reaction for this reaction.

Answer:

The ΔH of the reaction is -626 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

$C(s)+ 2 H_2O(g)\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+CO_2(g).\Delta H=?$

We are given with:

$\Delta H_{H-O}=459 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H_{H-H}=432 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H_{C=O}=799 kJ/mol$

ΔH = (Energies required to break bonds on reactant side) - (Energies released on formation of bonds on product side)

$\Delta H=(4\times \Delta H_{O-H})-(2\times \Delta H_{H-H}+2\times\Delta H_{C=O})$

$=(4\times 459 kJ/mol)-(2\times 432 kJ/mol+2\times 799 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H=-626 kJ/mol$

The ΔH of the reaction is -626 kJ/mol.
