Plants and animals RE a carbon source during respiration. they take in Oxygen and give out Carbon (IV) oxide as a by product.  Combustion of fossil fuels is also source of carbon (IV) Oxide.

Formation of fossils from dead plants and animals is a carbon sink. photosynthesis is also a carbon sink as plants take in carbon (IV) Oxide that is used to make food.

Answer: According to the given diagram.

Atmosphere- source

Factories, power stations and vehicle emissions- source

Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas)- source

Plants- sinks

Animals- source

Explanation:

According to the given diagram.

Atmosphere- source

The atmosphere is the mass of different gases. The carbon dioxide is the gas which is also present in the atmosphere. The atmosphere is the source of carbon dioxide.

Factories, power stations and vehicle emissions- source

The factories, power stations and vehicle emissions emit the carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere as they use the fossil fuel as a source of thermal energy.

Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas)- source

When the fossil fuel burns they emit immense amounts of gases such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxides in the atmosphere. Hence, they are the source of carbon.

Plants- sinks

Plants require carbon dioxide as reactant for the purpose of photosynthesis. Therefore, they absorb the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Hence, they called as carbon sinks.

Animals- source

The animals release carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which is a byproduct of the process of respiration.

Does anyone have any idea what this means lol
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

29.42 Litres

Explanation:

The general/ideal gas equation is used to solve this question as follows:

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)

T = temperature (K

According to the information provided in this question;

mass of nitrogen gas (N2) = 25g

Pressure = 0.785 atm

Temperature = 315K

Volume = ?

To calculate the number of moles (n) of N2, we use:

mole = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of N2 = 14(2) = 28g/mol

mole = 25/28

mole = 0.893mol

Using PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = (0.893 × 0.0821 × 315) ÷ 0.785

V = 23.09 ÷ 0.785

V = 29.42 Litres

Which of the following will increase the number of collisions without changing the energy of reactant molecules?
natulia [17]

Answer:increasing the concentration of reactants

Explanation:

Collision is the phenomenon in which the reactant molecules come to nearest closness,as a result the reactants are converted into products.

Now the number of effective collision is directly proportional to the number of reactants added..

Analyze how friction can be both a positive and negative aspect in our everyday lives. Use examples to support your statements.
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

For example, friction between our shoes and the floor stop us from slipping and friction between tyres and the road stop cars from skidding. Friction is sometimes unhelpful. For example, if you don't lubricate your bike regularly with oil, the friction in the chain and axles increases.
