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").

5 advantages of storing oil underground in salt dome?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Salt domes storage has advantages in cost, security, environmental risk, and maintenance. Salt formations offer the lowest cost, most environmentally secure way to store crude oil for long periods of time. Stockpiling oil in artificially-created caverns deep within the rock-hard salt costs historically about $3.50 per barrel in capital costs. Storing oil in above ground tanks, by comparison, can cost $15 to $18 per barrel - or at least five times the expense. Also, because the salt caverns are 2,000-4,000 feet below the surface, geologic pressures will sea; any crack that develops in the salt formation, assuring that no crude oil leaks from the cavern. An added benefit is the natural temperature differential between the top of the caverns and the bottom - a distance of around 2,000 feet; the temperature differential keeps the crude oil continuously circulating in the caverns, giving the oil a consistent quality.

Calculate the Ph of:
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

pH= 3.82

Explanation:

Sodium ethanoate or sodium acetate (CH3COONa) ionises completely.

Ethanoic acid or acetic acid (CH3COOH), ionises partially because it is a weak acid.

1, When temperature is increased the volume will also increase. this is because the particles will gain kinetic energy and bombard the walls of the container of the gas at a higher frequency, therefore, for the pressure to remain constant as per Charles' law, the volume will have to increase so that the rate of bombardment remains constant. This is explained by the Charles law which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature provided pressure remains constant.

2. When temperature is Decreased the volume will also Decrease. this is because the particles will loose kinetic energy and bombard the walls of the container of the gas less frequently, therefore, for the pressure to remain constant as per Charles' law, the volume will have to reduce so that the rate of bombardment remains constant. This is explained by the Charles law which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature provided pressure remains constant.

3. When temperature is increased the pressure will increase. This is because the gas particles gain kinetic energy and bombard the walls of the container more frequently. this is according to Pressure law which states that for a constant volume of a gas the pressure is directly proportional to absolute temperature

4. When temperature is decreased, pressure will decrease, This is because the gas particles lose kinetic energy and bombard the walls of the container less frequently. this is according to Pressure law which states that for a constant volume of a gas the pressure is directly proportional to absolute temperature

5. When particles are added, pressure will increase. This is because the bombardment per unit area also increases. Boyles law explains this, that at fixed temperature the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure.

6. When particles are removed, the pressure will decrease. This is because the bombardment per unit area also decreases. Boyle's law explains this, that at fixed temperature the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure.
