What motivated arrhenius to calculate how changes in carbon dioxide might affect the climate?

Chemistry
1 answer:
DerKrebs [107]3 years ago
4 0
Arrhenius was seeking to understand the causes of ice ages. 
He was the first to use basic principles of  physical chemistry to calculate estimates of the extent to which increases in atmosphere carbon dioxide increases Earth's surface temperature through the Arrhenius effect. Arrhenius's paper was the first to quantify the contribution of carbon dioxide to the greenhouse effect and to speculate whether variations in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide have contributed to long-term variations in climate.

U-235 undergoes many different fission reactions. For one such reaction, when U-235 is struck with a neutron, Ce-144 and Sr-90 a
Lostsunrise [7]

Explanation:

A nuclear fission reaction is defined as the reaction in which a heavy nucleus splits into small nuclei along with release of energy.

The given reaction is ^{235}_{92}U + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ^{144}_{58}Ce + ^{90}_{38}Sr + x^{1}_{0}n + y^{0}_{-1}\beta

Now, we balance the mass on both reactant and product side as follows.

         235 + 1 = 144 + 90 + (x \times 1) + (y \times 0)

           236 = 234 + x

            x = 236 -234

               = 2

So, now we balance the charge on both reactant and product side as follows.

              92 + 0 = 58 + 38 + (x \times 0) + (y \times -1)

                92 = 96 - y

                  y = 4

Thus, we can conclude that there are 2 neutrons and 4 beta-particles are produced in the given reaction.

Therefore, reaction equation will be as follows.

           ^{235}_{92}U + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ^{144}_{58}Ce + ^{90}_{38}Sr + 2^{1}_{0}n + 4^{0}_{-1}\beta

What is the absolute pressure in compartment d in atm g?
xenn [34]
Atmospheric pressure from barometer = (9810) × (13.6) × (0.720) = 96060 Pa = 96.06 kPa Absolute pressure in compartment A, 496.06 kPa P = P + P abs, A gauge, A atm = 400 + 96.06 = Absolute Pressure from barometer

Which of the following is not an example of prediction?
cricket20 [7]

Hypothesis: Sunlight is necessary for seedling growth.

Prediction: Seedlings grown in bags wrapped in aluminum-foil will be shorter than those in bags without aluminum-foil, because the aluminum keeps out sunlight.

A predection is somthing that you guess what it is like if you kick a ball you dont know where its going to go so you think or prdict where its going

A mixture of three noble gases has a total pressure of 1.25 atm. The individual pressures exerted by neon and argon are 0.68 atm
Tanzania [10]

This problem can be solved by Dalton's law of  partial pressures which states that  <em>in a mixture of non-reacting gases, the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases</em>.

Ptotal = P₁ + P₂ + P₃ + ..... + Pn

Herein, Ptotal = P(Ne) + P(Ar) + P(He)

Ptotal = 1.25 atm, P(Ne) = 0.68 atm and P(Ar) = 0.35

So, P(He) = Ptotal - P(Ne) - P(Ar) = 1.25 - 0.68 - 0.35 = 0.22 atm
