Global warming is mainly due to

Chemistry

bogdanovich [222]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, cloud forests are dying, and wildlife is scrambling to keep pace. It has become clear that humans have caused most of the past century's warming by releasing heat-trapping gases as we power our modern lives. Called greenhouse gases, their levels are higher now than at any time in the last 800,000 years.

We often call the result global warming, but it is causing a set of changes to the Earth's climate, or long-term weather patterns, that varies from place to place. While many people think of global warming and climate change as synonyms, scientists use “climate change” when describing the complex shifts now affecting our planet’s weather and climate systems—in part because some areas actually get cooler in the short term.

Climate change encompasses not only rising average temperatures but also extreme weather events, shifting wildlife populations and habitats, rising seas, and a range of other impacts. All of those changes are emerging as humans continue to add heat-trapping greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, changing the rhythms of climate that all living things have come to rely on.

What will we do—what can we do—to slow this human-caused warming? How will we cope with the changes we've already set into motion? While we struggle to figure it all out, the fate of the Earth as we know it—coasts, forests, farms, and snow-capped mountains—hangs in the balance.

(a) Consider the reaction of hydrogen sulfide with methane, given below:
Burka [1]

Answer:

a. H2S(g)/t = 1.48 mol/s

CS2(g)/t = 0.740mol/s

H2(g)/t = 2.96mol/s

b. Ptot /t = 981torr/min

Explanation:

a. Based on the reaction:

CH4(g) + 2 H2S(g) → CS2(g) + 4 H2(g)

<em>1 mole of CH4 reacts with 2 moles of H2S producing 1 mole of CS2 and 4 moles of 4H2</em>

<em />

If CH4 decreases at the rate of 0.740mol/s, H2S decreases twice faster, that is 0.740mol/s = 1.48 mol/s

CS2 is produced with the same rate of CH4 because 1 mole of CH4 produce 1 mole of CS2 = 0.740mol/s

The H2 is produced four times faster than CH4 is decreased, that is:

0.740mol/s * 4 = 2.96mol/s

b. With the reaction:

2 NH3(g) → N2(g) + 3 H2(g)

2 moles of ammonia are consumed whereas 1 mole of N2 and 3 moles of H2 are produced.

That means 2 moles of gas are consumed and 4 moles of gas are produced.

If the NH3 decreases at a rate of 327torr/min, the gases are produced in a rate twice faster. That is 327torr/min*2 =

654torr/min

The rate of change of the total pressure is rate of reactants + rate of products:

654torr/min + 327torr/min =

981torr/min

Both obsidian and pumice are formed from which of the following ?
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

option D= volcanoes

Explanation:

Obsidian:

It is igneous rock. It is made when molten rock material cool very rapidly in such a way that atoms could not arrange themselves and acquire amorphous form. It is also called mineraloid.

1. Mostly it is found in black color but it could be present in green or brown color.

2. In the form of glass obsidian are unstable and start to crystallize.

3. Obsidian are commonly found in New Zealand, Hungry, Russia, Canada, Italy, Argentine, Japan, Chile, Kenya, Peru and United States.

4. older obsidian can not be found because these glassy rocks destroyed very rapidly.

5. Obsidian are used in surgical tools for cutting.

6. obsidian are also used in jewelry.

Pumice:

pumice is volcanic rock. it is formed from the lava having high amount of gases and water content. the gas escape and frothy lava cool very rapidly and form very lighter rock material, called pumice.

1. it is lighter in color because of high content of silica.

2. its crushing material produce fine powder, called volcanic ash.

3. its density is very low that's way it floats on the surface of water.

4. it is used in the manufacturing of cement and also in pencil erasers.

5. it is found in Greece, Italy, Chile, Turkey, Russia , Tran, Syria ans United States.

A student measured a strip of aluminum as 1.25m long. The teacher said it was actually 2.12m long. What was the student's percen
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

41.03 %

Explanation:

Given that,

The actual length of a strip of aluminum is 2.12 m

Observed length of a strip of aluminum is 1.25 m

We need to find the student's percent error. The percentage error on any value is given by :

\%=\dfrac{\text{observed-actual}}{\text{actual}}\times 100

Putting all values, we get :

\%=\dfrac{2.12-1.25}{2.12}\times 100\\\\\%=41.03\ \%

So, the percent error of the student is 41.03 %.

Which is true about each element in a period or horizontal row of the periodic table?
Ber [7]

The  true  about element in  period or  horizontal  row  of periodic table is

Each  element  has one more outer electron than the element before it. (answer B)

<u><em>  Explanation</em></u>

 In periodic table  there are four horizontal rows(periods) that is  period 1,2,3 and 4.

Across the period each element has one more electron than element before it.

For example  Na and Mg which  are in  periodic 3.

Na  has 2.8.1  or [Ne] 3s¹ electron configuration  while Mg has  2.8.2  or [Ne] 3S² electron configuration.

Since Mg has 2   outer electrons  while Na has 1 outer electron, Mg has more electron than Na.
