How does burning fossil fuels cause an increase of carbon in the air?

Chemistry

Answer:

Because burning a non-renewable resource that is not good for the atmosphere, will always cause some kind of chemical reaction to happen.

Examples of these reactions are...

  1. Acid rain, a very dangerous disaster.
  2. Global warming.
  3. Carbon increases.

When fossil fuels are burned, they release large amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the air. Greenhouse gases trap heat in our atmosphere, causing global warming. Already the average global temperature has increased by 1C

Why is no dew formed on a windy day or when the sky is cloudy?
joja [24]
Dew forms when the air just above the ground is cooled to its dew point. The air above the ground is cooled because the ground radiates heat into space. If there are clouds overhead the clouds reflect the heat back to the ground so it does not cool and o dew forms. If it is windy then the air just above the ground to the dew point and no dew forms. Thus to form dew you need a still clear keeps on getting mixed with the air higher up and the air does not cooled to the dew point and no dew forms.

The following equation shows the conversion of ethanol c2h5oh in a wine sample into acetic acid c2h4o2 through the action of oxy
melomori [17]

<u>Given:</u>

Volume of wine = 100 ml

Initial Mass of ethanol = 12.0 g

Mass of acetic acid formed = 4.00 g

<u>To determine:</u>

% ethanol converted to acetic acid

<u>Explanation:</u>

Molar mass of C2H5OH (ethanol) = 46 g/mol

Molar mass of C2H4O2 (acetic acid) = 60 g/mol

The reaction of ethanol in air is:

C2H5OH + O2 → C2H4O2 + H2O

Based on the stoichiometry: 1 mole of ethanol produces 1 mole of acetic acid

Moles of ethanol initially present = mass of ethanol/molar mass

= 12/46 = 0.2609 moles

Moles of acetic acid produced = moles of ethanol converted

= 4/60 = 0.0667 moles

Mass of ethanol converted = Moles of ethanol * molar mass

= 0.0667 * 46 = 3.07 g

% ethanol converted = (mass of ethanol converted/initial mass )*100

% converted = (3.07/12.0) *100 = 25.6%

Ans: 25.6% of ethanol gets converted to acetic acid
