Answer:

- Because it could lead to rise in sea levels which could cause heavy floods in the Small Island States and thus destroy their economies.

Explanation:

The reason is that too much carbon dioxide emissions trapped in the atmosphere can cause global worming which includes climate change and rise in sea levels.

Now, due to the fact that we know islands are lands surrounded by water, a rise in sea level of by as small as 1 metre could be very dangerous to these small islands in that they could cause them to become flooded and thus cause harm to lives and properties thereby damaging their economies.

2. How many moles of salt are present in 1.5L of a 5.OM salt water solution?

madam [21]

Answer:

There are 7.5 moles of salt

Explanation:

5.0M means that in every liter of solution, there are 5 moles of salt. So, 1.5L of solution times 5 moles per liter equals 7.5 moles

You put two open cans of soda on the table. You took one can from the refrigerator and the other from your car. When you open th

jarptica [38.1K]

The soda can from the car will lose CO2 more quickly. This is because of the kinetic energy and behavior of gas molecules under different temperatures. CO2 is more soluble in cold temperatures than hot. Cold temperatures minimize the kinetic energy of gas molecules; thus, preventing the gas from escaping the soda. This is why soda that comes from the refrigerator has more fizz or spirit than soda at room temperature.

Which statement about the reaction is correct?

Goshia [24]

The reactions based on the absorption and release of the energy are called endothermic and exothermic reactions. The reaction is exothermic.

<h3>What is an exothermic reaction?</h3>

Exothermic reactions are the reaction in which the reactant produces products that release energy from the system to the surroundings. In the reaction bond energy of the reactant is less than the product.

Energy from the system is released in the form of heat, sound, light and electricity. The weak bonds of the compounds are replaced with stronger ones and the standard enthalpy of the reaction is negative.

Therefore, option c. reaction is exothermic is correct.

16.25 g of water at 54 C relaeases 402.7 J. What will be its final temp?

leonid [27]

Data:
Q = 402.7 J → releases → Q = - 402.7 J
m = 16.25 g
T initial = 54 ºC
adopting: c = 4.184J/g/°C
ΔT (T final - T initial) = ?

Solving:

Q = m*c*ΔT
-402.7 = 16.25*4.184*ΔT
-402.7 = 67.99*ΔT
$\Delta\:T = \frac{-402.7}{67.99}$
$\boxed{\Delta\:T \approx -5.92\:^0C}$

If: ΔT (T final - T initial) = ?
$-5.92^0 = T_{final} - 54^0$
$T_{final} = 54^0 - 5.92^0$
$\boxed{\boxed{T_{final} = 48.08\:^0C}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$
