How would increased chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the atmosphere affect the growth of vegetation throughout the world?

Chlorofluorocarbons are a class of organic compounds that were used as propellants in the late 20th century. The problem with CFC's is that they attack the ozone layer, breaking it down. The weakened ozone layer is not able to stop UV light from reaching the earth, so the amount of UV light reaching the earth increases. This results in increased temperatures, and the death of vegetation.

Therefore, the answer is B.

Ultraviolet light will increase on earth's surface. It will "raise" temperatures and decrease plant populations. Actually UV rays do not increase temperature, that's wrong.

They cause mutations in several organisms as they modify their DNA. They also cause skin cancer in humans and also cataracts and sunburns.

But they don't increase temperature. That's carbon dioxide accumulation.

The higher the greenhouse gases, the higher the ocean temperature

"The ocean absorbs most of the excess heat from greenhouse gas emissions, leading to rising ocean temperatures"

Explanation:

For the first part,

Reaction equation:

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

Given:

Number of moles of NH₃ = 6 moles

Unknown:

Number of moles of N₂ = ?

Solution:

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃;

From the reaction above, we solve from the known specie to the unknown. Ensure that the equation is balanced;

2 moles of NH₃ is produced from 1 mole of N₂

6 moles of NH₃ will be produced from $\frac{6}{2}$ mole of N₂

= 3moles of N₂

The number of moles of N₂ is 3 moles

ii.

Given parameters:

Number of moles of sulfur = 2.4moles

Molar mass of sulfur = 32.07g/mol

Unknown:

Mass of sulfur = ?

Solution:

The number of moles of any substance can be found using the expression below;

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

Mass of sulfur = number of moles of sulfur x molar mass

Insert the parameters and solve;

Mass of sulfur = 2.4 x 32.07 = 76.97g

A gas used to extinguish fires is composed of 75 % CO2 and 25 % N2. It is stored in a 5 m3 tank at 300 kPa and 25 °C. What is th

Answer : The partial pressure of the $CO_2$ in the tank in psia is, 32.6 psia.

Explanation :

As we are given 75 % $CO_2$ and 25 % $N_2$ in terms of volume.

First we have to calculate the moles of $CO_2$ and $N_2$ .

$\text{Moles of }CO_2=\frac{\text{Volume of }CO_2}{\text{Volume at STP}}=\frac{75}{22.4}=3.35mole$

$\text{Moles of }N_2=\frac{\text{Volume of }N_2}{\text{Volume at STP}}=\frac{25}{22.4}=1.12mole$

Now we have to calculate the mole fraction of $CO_2$ .

$\text{Mole fraction of }CO_2=\frac{\text{Moles of }CO_2}{\text{Moles of }CO_2+\text{Moles of }N_2}$

$\text{Mole fraction of }CO_2=\frac{3.35}{3.35+1.12}=0.75$

Now we have to calculate the partial pressure of the $CO_2$ gas.

$\text{Partial pressure of }CO_2=\text{Mole fraction of }CO_2\times \text{Total pressure of gas}$

$\text{Partial pressure of }CO_2=0.75mole\times 300Kpa=225Kpa=225Kpa\times \frac{0.145\text{ psia}}{1Kpa}=32.625\text{ psia}$

conversion used : (1 Kpa = 0.145 psia)

Therefore, the partial pressure of the $CO_2$ in the tank in psia is, 32.6 psia.
