A layer of greenhouse gases – primarily water vapor, and including much smaller amounts of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide – acts as a thermal blanket for the Earth, absorbing heat and warming the surface to a life-supporting average of 59 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius).

Answer:

Global warming is an effect on our planet that is caused by carbon dioxide being trapped in our atmosphere. When the carbon dioxide is trapped, it is bouncing off the bottom layer of the clouds. Some escapes into outer space, but most of it stays. We cause global warming, by using vehicles, making asphalt, burning fossil fuels, and many more.

An effect of global warming is our poles oceans are melting. When our polar caps melt most of the way, we will experience a lot of flooding for many coastal cities. We will also experience extreme weather, like stronger hurricanes, larger thunderstorms, and larger areas effected by other natural disasters.

One thing we can do to stop or slow down these effects is to use vehicles less (or make better vehicles for the environment), stop burning fossil fuels, and make a world-wide law to prevent certain things from commencing. Nuclear bombs are also a problem to global warming. We will hopefully never reach that problem.

The ph scale for acidity is defined by ph=−log10[h+] where [h+]is the concentration of hydrogen ions measured in moles per liter
Leokris [45]

The question is incomplete.

The complete question probably is

The pH scale for acidity is defined by pH = − log₁₀[H⁺] where [H⁺] is the concentration of hydrogen ions measured in moles per liter (M). A solution has a pH of 2.55. Find the hydrogen ion concentration.

Answer: -

0.003 M

Explanation: -

pH = − log₁₀[H⁺]

Thus the hydrogen ion concentration [H⁺] = 10^{-pH}

= 10^{-2.55}

= 0.003 M

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. Despite its name, silica gel
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The sign of \Delta GΔG is negative.

The sign of \Delta HΔH is negative.

The sign of \Delta SΔS is negative.

Explanation:

The water vapor is adsorbed on silica gel due to strong hydrophilicity of silica get towards the water.

The thermodynamic properties of adsorbate and adsorbent changes after adsorption. Silica gel is very porous and hydrophilic, thus, it absorbs the water from the shoe box.

The adsorption process occurs spontaneously, therefore Delta G < 0.

When adsorption occurs, bonds are formed between water molecules and SiO2, and the bond formation process is exothermic (heat is released).

Thus, Delta H < 0.

The water molecules become immobilized on the surface when adsorption occurs, thus, entropy/disorder decreases.

So, Delta S < 0.

Why is there no chemical process that will break down carbon
Jobisdone [24]

There is only a net gain of only two ATP molecules in glycolysis of one six-carbon glucose because it uses the other two to split the glucose.
