Argon, which comprises almost 1 percent of the atmosphere, is approximately 27 times more abundant than CO2 but does not contrib

ute to global warming. Which explanation accounts for this fact?
a. Single atoms do not have bonds, therefore do not vibrate.
b. Argon's vibrational energy is not excited by infrared radiation.
c. Argon atoms are concentrated too high in the troposphere to interact with the earth's radiant energy.
d. Argon is not an anthropogenic pollutant.

B. Argon's vibrational energy is not excited by infrared radiation.

Explanation:

The property of carbon dioxide to get excited by infrared electromagnetic radiation is what qualifies it as a greenhouse gas. When infrared from the earth's surface is reflecting back to space, some of the radiation is absorbed and remitted by the carbon-dioxide molecules in the atmosphere. This causes a phenomenon called greenhouse effect that causes the atmosphere to be relatively warmer. The more the carbon dioxide molecules the more the greenhouse effect.

What is the relationship between specific heat and the rate of heating?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

the rate of heat transfer is directly proportional to the mass flow rate.

Explanation:

There is an elementary equation from basic thermodynamics that states that the rate of heat transfer (Q) equals the mass flow rate (M) times a Constant (the specific heat of water) times the Delta T (fluid temp out minus fluid temp in): Q = M x C x Delta T In other words, the rate of heat transfer is directly proportional to the mass flow rate.
