Why is it commonly believed that carbon dioxide is responsible for global warming? Select 2 options.
monitta

Answer:

Carbon dioxide levels in the Earth's atmosphere have been steadily increasing.

Carbon has a longer average lifetime in the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Today the level of carbon dioxide is higher than at any time in human history. Scientists widely agree that Earth’s average surface temperature has already increased by about 2 F (1 C) since the 1880s, and that human-caused increases in carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases are extremely likely to be responsible.

The lifetime in the air of CO2, the most significant man-made greenhouse gas, is probably the most difficult to determine, because there are several processes that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Between 65% and 80% of CO2 released into the air dissolves into the ocean over a period of 20–200 years.

A 50.0 g gold spoon at 10.0 °c is placed in a cup of how water 95.0 °c. how much heat does the water lose to the spoon if the sp
Flauer [41]
Heat energy is calculated by multiplying the  mass, specific heat capacity of a substance by the change in temperatures. Therefore,the heat lost by water will be given by mass of water (in kg) × specific heat capacity of water × change in temperature. This heat will be equivalent to the heat gained by the spoon calculated by mass of the spoon by specific heat capacity by change in temperature. (considering that the specific heat capacity of gold is 125.6 J/kg/k)
hence, 0.05 kg × 49 × 125.6 J/kg/k = 307.72 Joules
therefore, heat lost by water is equivalent to 307.72 Joules
