Dry air is 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.039% carbon dioxide so varying amounts of water vapor- depending on hu

midity. Some gases however strongly absorb infrared radiation and trap it in the atmosphere and can therefore result in elevated global temperatures. Therefore they are termed greenhouse gases. Which greenhouse gas have we observed a marked increase in atmospheric concentrations in the last 100 years?
A. methane (CH4)
B. carbon monoxide
C. carbon dioxide
D.ozone (03)
E. oxygen
F. nitrogen
G.water vapor (H20)

Answer:

C. Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is one of the end-product of combustion reactions involving many fuels today.

With the rapid increase in urbanization and technological development, man demand for energy increased tremendously. The discovery of fossil fuels paved the way for the astronomical increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil invovles the process where the carbon atoms present in these fuels combine with oxygen in the air to make CO2. This has resulted in an increase in the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2).

The burning fossil fuels for electricity, industry, heat, and transportation are the major sources of the emossion of carbon dioxide.

Also, the cutting down of trees for paper production, building construction and for the establishment of settlements also increase the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Trees are help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis. However, when these trees are cut down, carbon dioxide accumulates in the atmosphere.

What is the molar mass of 56.75 g of gas exerting a pressure of 2.87 atm on the walls of a 5.29 l container at 230 k?
laiz [17]
We first need to find the number of moles of gas in the container 
PV = nRT
where;
P - pressure - 2.87 atm x 101 325 Pa/atm = 290 802.75 Pa
V - volume - 5.29 x 10⁻³ m³
n - number of moles
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature - 230 K
substituting these values in the equation 
290 802.75 Pa x  5.29 x 10⁻³ m³ = n x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 230 K
n = 0.804 mol
the molar mass = mass present / number of moles
molar mass of gas = 56.75 g / 0.804 mol 
therefore molar mass is 70.6 g/mol

What would be the best flow rate of o2 for a patient with copd?
Step2247 [10]
When we say COPD, this means Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder. COPD includes a group of lung diseases which have progressed into a worse condition. One example of this is emphysema. In cases of COPD, they should be provided oxygen therapy and the best flow rate for patients with this disorder is <span>8-10 L/min, high-flow, via nasal prong. Hope this helps.</span>
