Make notes on why did the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere decrease?​
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide is a very soluble gas. It dissolves readily in water. As the oceans formed, carbon dioxide dissolved to form soluble carbonate compounds so its amount in the atmosphere decreased. Carbonate compounds were then precipitated as sedimentary rocks, eg limestone.

Uptake by living organisms

Carbon dioxide was also absorbed from the oceans into photosynthetic algae and plants. Many of these organisms, and the simple organisms in the food chains that they supported were turned into fossil fuels, eg crude oil, coal and natural gas, which all contain carbon.

Coal is a fossil fuel which was formed from trees which were in dense forests in low-lying wetland areas. Flooding caused the wood from these forests to be buried in a way that prevented oxidation taking place. Compression and heating over millions of years turned the wood into coal.

Crude oil and natural gas were formed from simple plants and tiny animals which were living in oceans and lakes. These small organisms died and their remains sank to the bottom where they were buried under sediments. The lack of oxygen prevented oxidation from occurring.

Over millions of years, heat and pressure turned the remains of the organisms into crude oil and natural gas. Natural gas contains the smallest molecules and is often found on top of crude oil, trapped under sedimentary rock.

What is the ph of a buffer that consists of 0.45 m ch3cooh and 0.35 m ch3coona? ka = 1.8 × 10–5?
oee [108]
Answer is: pH of a buffer is 4.64.

ck(CH₃COOH) = 0.45 M.

cs(CH₃COONa) = 0.35 M.

Ka = 1.8·10⁻⁵.

<span>pKa = -logKa.
</span>pKa = -log(1.8·10⁻⁵) = 4.75.
<span>Henderson–Hasselbalch equation: pH = pKa + log(cs/ck).
</span>pH = 4.75 + log(0.35M/0.45M).
pH = 4.75 - 0.11.
pH = 4.64.

pH (potential of hydrogen) is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity an aqueous solution.

Why does carbon dioxide absorb the most heat energy
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Explanation:

Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and other trace gases in Earth's atmosphere absorb the longer wavelengths of outgoing infrared radiation from Earth's surface. These gases then emit the infrared radiation in all directions, both outward toward space and downward toward Earth

The speed of light in a vacuum is 2.998 × 10 8 8 m/s. How long does it take for light to circumnavigate the Earth, which has a c
svp [43]

Answer:- 0.134 seconds

Solution:- The speed is given as 2.988*10^8\frac{m}{s} and the circumference is 24900 miles which is same as the distance light have to covered. It asks to calculate the time required to cover this distance by the light.

We need to do unit conversion from miles to meter as the speed is given in meter per second.

1 mile = 1609.34 meter

So, 24900mile(\frac{1609.34meter}{mile})

= 40072566 meters

Know that, speed=\frac{distance}{time}

It's rearranged to time as, time=\frac{distance}{speed}

Let's plug in the values in it:

time=\frac{40072566meter}{2.988*10^8\frac{meter}{second}}

= 0.134 seconds

So, the light would take 0.134 seconds to travel the mentioned speed. The answer without the unit is 0.134.
