<span>In the 19th century, scientists realized that gases in the atmosphere cause a "greenhouse effect" which affects the planet's temperature. These scientists were interested chiefly in the possibility that a lower level of carbon dioxide gas might explain the ice ages of the distant past. At the turn of the century, Svante Arrhenius calculated that emissions from human industry might someday bring a global warming. Other scientists dismissed his idea as faulty. In 1938, G.S. Callendar argued that the level of carbon dioxide was climbing and raising global temperature, but most scientists found his arguments implausible. It was almost by chance that a few researchers in the 1950s discovered that global warming truly was possible. In the early 1960s, C.D. Keeling measured the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere: it was rising fast. Researchers began to take an interest, struggling to understand how the level of carbon dioxide had changed in the past, and how the level was influenced by chemical and biological forces. They found that the gas plays a crucial role in climate change, so that the rising level could gravely affect our future. (This essay covers only developments relating directly to carbon dioxide, with a separate essay for Other Greenhouse Gases. Theories are discussed in the essay on Simple Models of Climate.)</span>

LenKa [72]

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation: NH₃ + 2 HF → NH₄⁺ + HF₂⁻

Explanation:

According to the Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, the acid- base reaction is a type of chemical reaction between the acid and base to give a conjugate acid and a conjugate base.

In this reaction, a Brønsted–Lowry acid loses a proton to form a conjugate base. Whereas, a Brønsted–Lowry base accepts a proton to form a conjugate acid.

Acid + Base ⇌ Conjugate Base + Conjugate Acid

The acid dissociation constant (Kₐ) <em>signifies the acidic strength of a chemical species.</em>

∵ pKₐ = - log Kₐ

Thus for a strong acid, Kₐ value is large and pKₐ value is small.

pKₐ (HF) = 3.2 → strong acid

pKₐ (NH₃) = 38 → weak acid

<u>The chemical reaction involved in the dissolution process:</u>

NH₃ + 2 HF → NH₄⁺ + HF₂⁻

In this acid-base reaction, the acid HF reacts with NH₃ base to give the conjugate base HF₂⁻ and conjugate acid NH₄⁺.

<u>HF (acid) donates a proton to form the conjugate base, HF₂⁻ ion. NH₃ (base) accepts a proton to form the conjugate acid. </u>

Colt1911 [192]

All the following are equal to Avogadro's number EXCEPT a. the number of atoms of bromine in 1 mol Br₂.

1 mol Br₂ contains Avogadro’s number of molecules of Br₂.

However, each molecule contains two atoms of Br, so there are

<em>2 × Avogadro’s number of Br atoms </em>in 1 mol Br₂.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Energy is transferred from one object to another when a reaction takes place.

Explanation:

Energy comes in many forms and can be transferred from one object to another as heat, light, or motion, to name a few.  

The answer could be It is a well known fact that energy can neither be created and nor be destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

Now talking about your example in a typical light bulb electrical energy is converted into light energy and heat energy. Now when the electric current flows through the conductor/filament in the light bulb,this would cause vibrations and the free ions are more likely to go to an higher energy level,and when the ions come back to their original state,the difference in the two energy levels is usually emitted as a photon,thus light energy is obtained and the heat energy is the energy dissipated as a result of flow of electricity through the conductor.

Anything that gets transformed into light energy or in better words ElectroMagnetic Energy would be a result of this.
