Answer: Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide and Fuorinated Gases

Explanation:Carbon dioxide (CO2): Carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere through burning fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil), solid waste, trees and other biological materials, and also as a result of certain chemical reactions (e.g., manufacture of cement). Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere (or "sequestered") when it is absorbed by plants as part of the biological carbon cycle.

Methane (CH4): Methane is emitted during the production and transport of coal, natural gas, and oil. Methane emissions also result from livestock and other agricultural practices and by the decay of organic waste in municipal solid waste landfills.

Nitrous oxide (N2O): Nitrous oxide is emitted during agricultural and industrial activities, combustion of fossil fuels and solid waste, as well as during treatment of wastewater.

Fluorinated gases: Hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride, and nitrogen trifluoride are synthetic, powerful greenhouse gases that are emitted from a variety of industrial processes. Fluorinated gases are sometimes used as substitutes for stratospheric ozone-depleting substances (e.g., chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, and halons). These gases are typically emitted in smaller quantities, but because they are potent greenhouse gases, they are sometimes referred to as High Global Warming Potential gases ("High GWP gases").

How many moles are there in 2.00 x 10^19 molecules of CCl4
HACTEHA [7]

Answer: 0.0000332mol

Explanation: 1mole of CCl4 contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

Therefore, X mol of CCl4 will contain 2 x 10^19 molecules i.e

Xmol of CCl4 = 2 x 10^19/ 6.02x10^23 = 0.0000332mol

A gas sample occupies a volume of 1.264 L when the temperature is 168.0 °C and the pressure is 946.6 torr. How many molecules ar
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

0.26×10²³ molecules

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of gas = 1.264 L

Temperature = 168°C

Pressure = 946.6 torr

Number of molecules of gas = ?

Solution:

Temperature = 168°C (168+273= 441 K)

Pressure = 946.6 torr (946.6/760 = 1.25 atm)

Now we will determine the number of moles.

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

n = PV/RT

n = 1.25  atm ×1.264 L / 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K   ×441 K

n = 1.58 /36.21 /mol

n = 0.044 mol

Now we will calculate the number of molecules by using Avogadro number.

1 mol = 6.022×10²³ molecules

0.044 mol × 6.022×10²³ molecules/ 1mol

0.26×10²³ molecules

Substance A has the following properties.
ella [17]

It will take 1.11 min to heat the sample to its melting point.

Melting point = - 20°C

Boiling point = 85°C

∆H of fusion = 180 J/g

∆H of vap = 500 J/g

C(solid) = 1.0 J/g °C

C(liquid) = 2.5 J/g °C

C(gas) = 0.5 J/g °C

Mass of sample = 25 g

Initial temperature = - 40°C

Final temperature = 100°C

Rate of heating = 450 J/min

Specific heat capacity formula:- q = m ×C×∆T

Here, q = heat energy

        m = mass

        C = specific heat

      ∆T = temperature change

Melting point = - 20°C

C(solid) = 1.0 J/g °C

∆T = final temperature - initial temperature = -20 - (-40) = 20

Put these value in  Specific heat capacity formula

q = m ×C×∆T

q = 25×1.0×20

   =500J

The Rate of heating = 450 J/min

i.e. 450J = 1min

so, 500J = 1.11min

1.11 minutes does it take to heat the sample to its melting point.

The specific heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat absorbed in line with unit mass of the material whilst its temperature increases 1 °C.

Which phase transition, solid to liquid or liquid to gas, results in the largest increase in entropy
Licemer1 [7]

The liquid to gas phase transition results in the largest increase in entropy.

<h3>What is Entropy?</h3>
  • Entropy is a measureable physical characteristic and a scientific notion that is frequently connected to a condition of disorder, unpredictability, or uncertainty.
  • From classical thermodynamics, where it was originally recognized, through the microscopic description of nature in statistical physics, to the fundamentals of information theory, the phrase and concept are utilized in a variety of disciplines.
  • It has numerous applications in physics and chemistry, biological systems and how they relate to life, cosmology, economics, sociology, weather science, and information systems, especially the exchange of information.
  • Entropy has the effect of making some processes impossible or irreversible, in addition to the necessity that they not go against the first law of thermodynamics, which is the conservation of energy.
