What ways is carbon added to the atmosphere

Chemistry

Carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere by human activities. When hydrocarbon fuels (i.e. wood, coal, natural gas, gasoline, and oil) are burned, carbon dioxide is released. During combustion or burning, carbon from fossil fuels combine with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide and water vapor.

Answer:

One way is through fossil fuels. When people burn fossil fuels it enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas. Another way is through animals. Most animals exhale carbon dioxide as a waste product which gets into the atmosphere.

List the protons, neutrons, and electrons for Ge2+<br> Please hurry
Nady [450]

Answer:

32, 30 and 41

Explanation:

The problem here is to find the number of:

    Protons, neutrons and electrons in Ge²⁺

In this ion,

   We must understand that for a net positive charge to remain on an atom, the number of protons must be greater than the number of electrons.

Ge is Germanium with atomic number of 32;

So the number of protons is 32

Since the atom has lost two electrons;

  Number of electrons now is 32  - 2 = 30

Number of neutrons is 41 from the periodic table.

Draw a mechanism for this reaction. 5-hydroxypentanoic acid forms 2-oxanone in the presence of acid. draw all missing reactants
Licemer1 [7]

Answer: -

The first step involves protonation of the carbonyl oxygen.

After protonation, the Alcohol oxygen now attacks the carbon of the carbonyl.

Thus a six membered ring is formed with 5 carbon atoms and 1 oxygen atom. The 1st position carbon atom has 2 OH groups.

One of these gets again protonated.

This leaves as water. With the loss of the H+, there results a carbonyl at 1 position.

Thus 5-hydroxypentanoic acid forms a lactone or 2-oxanone in presence of acid.

Show the difference in the reactivity of Na,Ca,Mg,Al,Fe,Cu with H2O
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Na react with H2O to form NAOH

2 Na+2H2O....................2NAOH + H2

Ca react with water and form calcium hydroxide

Ca + 2H2O........................Ca(OH)2

Mg react with water and form Magnesium hydroxide

Mg +2H2O .........................Mg(OH)2 however this coating of mg(oh)2 prevent it from further reaction

 Fe react with water and form ferric hydride

3Fe +H2O.......................2 FeH +FeO

copper do not react with water
