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.

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The solutions are ordered by this way (from lowest to highest freezing point): K₃PO₄ < CaCl₂ < NaI < glucose

Option d, b, a and c

Explanation:

Colligative property: Freezing point depression

The formula is: ΔT = Kf . m . i

ΔT = Freezing T° of pure solvent - Freezing T° of solution

We need to determine the i, which is the numbers of ions dissolved. It is also called the Van't Hoff factor.

Option d, which is glucose is non electrolyte so the i = 1

a. NaI → Na⁺ + I⁻ i =2

b. CaCl₂ → Ca²⁺ + 2Cl⁻ i =3

c. K₃PO₄ → 3K⁺ + PO₄⁻³ i=4

Potassium phosphate will have the lowest freezing point, then we have the calcium chloride, the sodium iodide and at the end, glucose.

Semenov [28]

<u>Answer:</u> The metal having molar mass equal to 26.95 g/mol is Aluminium

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$ .....(1)

Molarity of NaOH solution = 0.5000 M

Volume of solution = 0.03340 L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.5000M=\frac{\text{Moles of NaOH}}{0.03340L}\\\\\text{Moles of NaOH}=(0.5000mol/L\times 0.03340L)=0.01670mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of NaOH and sulfuric acid follows:

$2NaOH+H_2SO_4\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of sulfuric acid

So, 0.01670 moles of NaOH will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.01670=0.00835mol$ of sulfuric acid

Excess moles of sulfuric acid = 0.00835 moles

Calculating the moles of sulfuric acid by using equation 1, we get:

Molarity of sulfuric acid solution = 0.5000 M

Volume of solution = 127.9 mL = 0.1279 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.5000M=\frac{\text{Moles of }H_2SO_4}{0.1279L}\\\\\text{Moles of }H_2SO_4=(0.5000mol/L\times 0.1279L)=0.06395mol$

Number of moles of sulfuric acid reacted = 0.06395 - 0.00835 = 0.0556 moles

The chemical equation for the reaction of metal (forming $M^{3+}$ ion) and sulfuric acid follows:

$2X+3H_2SO_4\rightarrow X_2(SO_4)_3+3H_2$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of sulfuric acid reacts with 2 moles of metal

So, 0.0556 moles of sulfuric acid will react with = $\frac{2}{3}\times 0.0556=0.0371mol$ of metal

To calculate the molar mass of metal for given number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Mass of metal = 1.00 g

Moles of metal = 0.0371 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.0371mol=\frac{1.00g}{\text{Molar mass of metal}}\\\\\text{Molar mass of metal}=\frac{1.00g}{0.0371mol}=26.95g/mol$

Hence, the metal having molar mass equal to 26.95 g/mol is Aluminium
