Answer: B. deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels.

Explanation:

Global warming is a phenomena of rise in global temperatures due to certain human activities and natural processes like volcanic eruption.

The burning of fossil fuels and deforestation are the examples of human activities which contribute to global warming. These two activities increase the abundance of greenhouse gases like methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxides, sulphur oxides in the atmosphere. These gases trap the heat energy from sunlight and increase the temperature of the atmosphere. Hence, are responsible for global warming.

An acetylide anion is more stable than either a vinylic or alkyl anion due to Group of answer choices the greater stability of a

sashaice [31]

Answer:

the stabilization of the negative charge in orbitals with higher s character

Explanation:

Acetylide anion is a carbon anion compound or popularly called carbanion. Now Acetylide anion is sp hybridized. However acetylide anion tends to be more acidic as we move from sp³ to sp, hence acidicity increases, which makes sp to have the highest acidity and become the most stable.

So, we can conclude that the acetylide anion is more acidic due to the stabilization of the negative charge in orbitals with higher s character and as the s character increases, acidic nature of acetylide anion also increases.

The mass percent of solute in a solution containing 3.73 g KBr dissolved in 131 g of H2O is:

Elina [12.6K]

$\huge \underbrace \mathfrak \red{Answer}$

28%

Explanation:

mass of solute(KBr) = 3.73g

mass of solvent(H2O) = 131g

mass of solution = mass of solute + mass of solvent

= 3.73 + 131

= 134.73g

$\sf \large {mass \: percentage = \frac{mass \: of \: solute}{mass \: of \: solvent} \times 100} \\ \\ \sf mass \: percentage = \frac{3.73}{134.73} \times 100 \\ \\ \sf mass \: percentage = 0.028 \times 100 \\ \\ \sf mass \: percentage = 28\%$
