The so-called greenhouse gases. The one most of us know is carbon dioxide, although I guess there are even more dangerous matters in there.

Earth’s temperature depends on the balance between energy entering and leaving the planet’s system . When incoming energy from the sun is absorbed by the Earth system, Earth warms. When the sun’s energy is reflected back into space, Earth avoids warming. When energy is released back into space, Earth cools. Many factors, both natural and human, can cause changes in Earth’s energy balance, including: View enlarged image Models that account only for the effects of natural processes are not able to explain the warming over the past century. Models that also account for the greenhouse gases emitted by humans are able to explain this warming.

Many double-displacement reactions are enzyme-catalyzed via the "ping pong" mechanism, so called because the reactants appear to

zhenek [66]

Answer:

D. It will decrease by a factor of 4

Explanation:

According to the question , the equation follows :

$A+B\rightarrow C+D$

Rate law : This states the rate of reaction is directly proportional to concentration of reactants with each reactant raised to some power which may or may not be equal to the stoichiometeric coefficient.

$Rate\ \alpha [A]^{a}[B]^{b}$

$r=[A]^{a}[B]^{b}$ .................(1)

STEP": First, find out the power "a" and "b"

a+b = 3 (because it is given that the reaction follow 3rd order-kinetics)

According to question, doubling the concentration of the first reactant causes the rate to increase by a factor of 2 means,

r' = 2r if [A'] = 2[A]

Here [B] is uneffected means [B']=[B]

hence new rate =

$r'=[A']^{a}[B']^{b}$

Put the value of [A'] , [B'] and r' in the above equation:

$2r=[2A]^{a}[B]^{b}$ ...........(2)

Divide equation (1) by (2) we , get

$\frac{2r}{r}=\frac{[2A]^{2}[B]^{b}}{[A]^{a}[B]^{b}}$

$2= 2(\frac{A}{A})^{a}\times (\frac{B}{B})^{b}$

Here A and A cancel each other

B and B cancel each other

We get,

$2= 2^{a}\times 1^{b}$

1^b = 1 ( power of 1 = 1)

$2= 2^{a}$

This is possible only when a = 1

We know that : a + b = 3

1 + b = 3

b =3 -1 = 2

b = 2

Hence the rate law becomes :

$r=[A]^{a}[B]^{b}$

$r=[A]^{1}[B]^{2}$ .............(3)

Look in the question now, it is asked to calculate the concentration of [B],if cut in half

Hence

[B']=1/2[B]

Insert the value of [B'] in equation (3)

$r'=[A]^{1}[B']^{2}$

$r'=[A]^{1}(\frac{1}{2}[B])^{2}$

$r'=\frac{1}{4}[A]^{1}[B]^{2}$ ............(a)

But

$r=[A]^{a}[B]^{b}$ ..............(b)

Compare equation (a) and (b) , we get

new rate r' =

r' = 1/4 r

6. Many changes have been made to atomic theory since Daltons time.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

A. Modern atomic theory is, of course, a little more involved than Dalton's theory but the essence of Dalton's theory remains valid. ... Also, there are different kinds of atoms (differing by their masses) within an element that are known as "isotopes", but isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties.

B. The explanation becomes a scientific theory. In everyday language a theory means a hunch or speculation. Not so in science. In science, the word theory refers to a comprehensive explanation of an important feature of nature supported by facts gathered over time.
