Based on the vibrational difference you observed, state a hypothesis to explain why diatomic molecules in the air, such as oxyge

n and nitrogen, are not greenhouse gases while those with 3 or more atoms, such as methane, are?

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The ability of a gas to function as a green house gas depends on its ability to absorb infra red rays. In turn, the absorption of infrared red rays depends on whether or not the molecule is IR active.

The triatomic molecules such as methane and water are IR active. Only IR active molecules can lead to green house effect.

Note that for a molecular vibrational mode to be IR active, the dipole moment of the molecule is changed as the vibration occurs .

A 0.500-g sample of KCl is added to 50.0g of water in a calprimeter (Figure 5.12) If the temperature decreases by 1.05C. what is
Sauron [17]

Answer : The reaction is endothermic.

Explanation :

Formula used :

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T

where,

\Delta T = change in temperature = 1.05^oC

Q = heat involved in the dissolution of KCl = ?

m = mass = 0.500 + 50.0 = 50.5 g

c = specific heat of resulting solution = 4.18J/g^oC

Now put all the given value in the above formula, we get:

Q=50.5g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times 1.05^oC

Q=+221.64J

The heat involved in the dissolution of KCl is positive that means as the change in temperature decreases then the reaction is endothermic and as the change in temperature increases then the reaction is exothermic.

Hence, the reaction is endothermic.
