How do greenhouse gases such as CO2 and N2O contribute to an increase in Earth’s atmospheric temperature?
A.
Greenhouse gases interact with infrared photons and reflect them back to Earth’s surface.
B.
Greenhouse gases chemically react with one another, releasing heat in the process.
C.
Greenhouse gases agitate visible light photons, increasing the photons’ temperature and motion energy.
D.
Greenhouse gases generate internal heat through radioactive decay, similar to the core of Earth.
Answer:
The answer is A
Explanation:
The earth naturally maintains the heat energy balance by absorbing a sufficient amount of sunlight energy by the terrestrial land and then reverting back the excess sunlight energy back to the space. The increase in abundance of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere results in absorption of sunlight energy which contains infrared photons this is responsible for increasing the global temperature levels hence, responsible for global warming. These infrared photons are reflected to the earth surface instead of sending back to the space. This is responsible for disturbing the heat balance.
Greenhouse gases interact with infrared photons and reflect them back to earth’s surface, hence option A is correct.
How does greenhouse gases rise in earth’s atmosphere?The burning of fossil fuels, logging of forests, and raising of livestock all have a rising impact on the climate and temperature of the planet.
This increases the greenhouse effect and causes global warming by adding a significant amount of greenhouse gases to those that are already present in the atmosphere.
The earth naturally maintains the balance of heat energy by receiving enough solar energy through the terrestrial land and then returning any excess energy to space.
Therefore, greenhouse gases such as CO₂ and N₂O interact with infrared photons and reflect them back to earth’s surface.

Two boxes need to be moved into storage. Jamal and Jude each want to move a box. The force of gravity on both the boxes is 50 N. Jamal is lifting with a force of 60 N, and Jude is lifting with a force of 45 N. Which best describes the movement of the boxes? Jamal moved his box to storage, but Jude could not move his. Jamal and Jude can successfully move each box into storage. Jamal could not move his box to storage, but Jude could. Neither Jamal nor Jude could move the boxes into storage.
Answer: 80
Explanation:
Answer:
Jamal moved his box to storage, but Jude could not move his.
Explanation:
The force they exert needs to be higher than the force of gravity in order for them to move the boxes. Jamal's force is 60N, which is 10N above the force of gravity on the box, which is 50N. However, Jude's force is only 45N and that is lower than 50N, so he won't be able to move the box while Jamal can.

Given the following chemical equation at equilibrium: H2(g) + I2(g) ↔2HI(g) + heat. If the temperature is raised, in what direction will the equilibrium shift?
Answer: The reaction will shift in left or backward direction.
Explanation:
Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle. This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.
For the given equation:
[tex]H_2(g)+I_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2HI(g)+heat[/tex]
As the given reaction is exothermic as the heat is released in the reaction. When the temperature is raised , the reaction will shift in a direction where temperature is decreasing and that is the reverse reaction which is endothermic in nature.
Thus the reaction will shift in left or backward direction.

Ethyl acetate is a sweet-smelling solvent used in varnishes and fingernail polish remover. It is produced industrially by heating acetic acid and ethanol
together in the presence of sulfuric acid, which is added to speed up the
reaction. The ethyl acetate is distilled off as it is formed. The equation for the
process is as follows.
CH3COOH + CH3CH2OH --> CH3COOCH2CH3 + H2O
Determine the percentage yield in the following cases:
a. 68.3 g of ethyl acetate should be produced but only 43.9 g is recovered.
b. 0.0419 mol of ethyl acetate is produced but 0.0722 mol is expected. (Hint:
Percentage yield can also be calculated by dividing the actual yield in moles
by the theoretical yield in moles.)
c. 4.29 mol of ethanol is reacted with excess acetic acid, but only 2.98 mol of
ethyl acetate is produced.
d. A mixture of 0.58 mol ethanol and 0.82 mol acetic acid is reacted and 0.46
mol ethyl acetate is produced. (Hint: What is the limiting reactant?)
Answer:
The percentage yields are as follows :
a) 64.28%
b) 58.03%
c) 69.46%
d) 79.31%
Explanation:
The percentage yield is the ratio of the actual yield of a product to the expected or theoretical yield expressed as a percentage.
Percent yield = actual yield/theoretical yield x 100%
a) from the question, expected yield is 68.3 g whilst the actual yield is 43.9 g
therefore,
Percentage yield = 43.9 g/68.3 g x 100%
= 0.64275 x 100%
= 64.28%
b) From the question, expected yield is 0.0722 mol while the actual yield is 0.0419 mol. Therefore
Percentage yield = 0.0419 /0.0722 x 100%
= 0.58033 x 100%
= 58.03%
c) A limiting reactant is the reactant is is completely used in a recation to form a product. That is, it is the reactant that is not in excess.
From the equation of the reaction :
CH3COOH + CH3CH2OH --> CH3COOCH2CH3 + H2O
1 mole of ethanol reacts with 1 mole of acetic acid to give 1 mole of ethyl acetate.
From the question, ethanol is the limiting reactant because it is not in excess. Hence,
4.29 mole of ethanol should produce 4.29 mole of ethyl acetate (expected yield).
However only 2.98 mol of ethyl acetate is produced (actual yield)
Percentage yield = 2.98mol/4.29 mol x 100%
= 0.69463 x 100%
= 69.46%
d) From the question, acetic acid is in excess hence ethanol is the limiting reactant
therefore from the equation of the reaction:
1 mole of ethanol reacts with 1 mole of acetic acid to give 1 mole of ethyl acetate.
0,58 mol of ethanol should produce 0.58 mol of ethyl acetate (expected yield)
But 0.46 mol of ethyl acetae was produced (actual yield)
Percentage yield = 0.46mol /0.58 mol x 100%
= 0.79310 x 100%
= 79.31%

H-I bond: 297 kJ/mol
A. +7 kJ/mol
B. +297 kJ/mol
C. -290 kJ/mol
D. -7 kJ/mol
Energy change is the conversion of the energy stored in reactants to products. In the reaction between hydrogen and iodine, the energy change is -7 kJ/mol. Thus, option D is correct.
What is total energy change?Total energy change is the conversion of the energy from a substance to another when the reactant undergoes modification to produce a product.
The reaction is given as,
H₂ + I₂ → 2HI
In the reaction, the bonds between H-H and I-I are broken to release energy that produces two H-I bonds as the product.
Given,
H-H bond = 436 kJ/mol
I-I bond = 151 kJ/mol
H-I bond = 297 kJ/mol
So, 436 kJ/mol + 151 kJ/mol - 2x297 kJ/mol = -7 kJ/mol
Therefore, -7 kJ/mol is the total energy change in the reaction involving hydrogen and iodine.

A. a. Coal tar b. Coal c. Diesel
Explanation:
Coal Tar is a thick black or dark brown colored liquid obtained from coal. Coal Tar consists of hydrocarbons and free carbon extracted from coal using a process of destructive distillation. So, X is coal tar.
Earlier coal was used to produce steam to run steam engine trains. Air flows are allowed to burn coal hotter, then the hot coal turns water to steam and helps in the locomotive steam engine to run. So, Y is coal.
Deisel is used to run heavy vehicles such as buses, trucks, tractors, etc. because diesel burns at slow speed and produces a higher torque that can move heavy automobiles. So, Z is deisel.
Hence, the correct option is A.
A solution is made by mixing 114.g of benzene C6H6 and 83.g of acetyl bromide CH3COBr. Calculate the mole fraction of benzene in this solution. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.
A solution is made by mixing 114.g of benzene C6H6 and 83.g of acetyl bromide CH3COBr, the mole fraction of benzene in this solution is 1.45mol.
What is molar mass ?The term molar mass is defined as the compound is often calculated by adding the quality atomic masses in g/mol of the constituent atoms.
Molar mass of CH3COBr,
Molar Mass = 2 × MM(C) + 3 × MM(H) + 1 × MM(O) + 1 × MM(Br)
= 122.944 g/mol
Molar mass of C6H6,
MM = 6 × MM(C) + 6 × MM(H)
= 6 × 12.01 + 6 × 1.008
= 78.108 g/mol
n(CH3COBr) = mass/molar mass
= 83 /122.944
= 0.675
n(C6H6) = mass/molar mass
= 114 / 78.108
= 1.45
n(CH3COBr),n1 = 0. 675mol
n(C6H6),n2 = 1. 45mol
Thus, the mole fraction of benzene in this solution is 1.45mol.

A solution of Co(NO₃)₂ is electrolyzed using a 15.0A current for 1.00 hour and Co(s) is produced at the cathode. Calculate the moles of electrons that was used to electrolyze the solution? Calculate the moles and mass of Co(s) produced at the cathode?
Answer:
1. 0.56 mole of electron.
2. 0.28 mole of Co .
3. 16.52g of Co.
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Current (I) = 15A
Time (t) = 1 hr = 1 x 60 x 60 = 3600secs
Next, we shall determine the quantity of electricity, Q flowing in electrolyte. This is illustrated below:
Quantity of electricity (Q) = current (I) x Time
Q = It
Q = 15 x 3600
Q = 54000C.
1. Determination of the moles of electrons used to electrolyzed the solution. This is illustrated below:
96500C = 1 mole of electron
Therefore, 54000C = 54000/96500 = 0.56 mole of electron.
Therefore, 0.56 mole of electron was used to electrolyze the solution.
2. Determination of the number of mole of Co produced at the cathode. This is illustrated below:
At the cathode:
Co2+ + 2e —> Co
From the balanced equation above,
2 moles of electron produce 1 mole of Co.
Therefore, 0.56 mole of electron will produce = 0.56/2 = 0.28 mole of Co.
Therefore, 0.28 mole of Co is produced at the cathode.
3. Determination of the mass of Co produced at the cathode. This can be achieved by doing the following:
Molar mass of Co = 59g/mol
Number of mole of Co = 0.28 mole
Mass of Co =..?
Mass = mole x molar mass
Mass of Co = 0.28 x 59
Mass of Co = 16.52g
Therefore, 16.52g of Co is produced at the cathode.
Allicin is the compound responsible for the characteristic smell of Garlic. An analysis of the compound gives the following percent composition by mass; C = 44.4 percent, H = 6.21 percent. S = 39.5 percent, O = 9086 percent. Calculate its empirical formula. What is its molecular formula given that its molar mass is about 162 g?
Answer:
The empirical formula is same as the molecular formula = C6H10S2O
Explanation:
we start by dividing the percentage of each of the elements by their atomic mass
Carbon = 44.4/12 = 3.7
Hydrogen = 6.21/1 = 6.21
Sulphur = 39.5/32 = 1.234375
oxygen = 9.89/16 = 0.618125
That of oxygen is smallest so we divide all by that of oxygen
C = 3.7 / 0.618125 = 6
H = 6.21/ 0.618125 = 10
S = 1.234375/ 0.618125 = 2
Automatically, oxygen is 1
So the empirical formula is;
C6H10S2O
Let’s get its molecular formula. We multiply each of the subscript by the number;
(72 + 10 + 64 + 16)n= 162
162n = 162
n = 1
So the molecular formula is same as the empirical formula

Describe how a polyploid is formed
Answer:
ExpPolyploidy is the heritable condition of possessing more than two complete sets of chromosomes. Polyploids are common among plants, as well as among certain groups of fish and amphibians. For instance, some salamanders, frogs, and leeches are polyploids. Many of these polyploid organisms are fit and well-adapted to their environments. In fact, recent findings in genome research indicate that many species that are currently diploid, including humans, were derived from polyploid ancestors (Van de Peer & Meyer, 2005). These species that have experienced ancient genome duplications and then genome reduction are referred to as paleopolyploids. This article discusses the mechanisms underlying polyploidy, and both the advantages and disadvantages of having multiple sets of chromosomes.
Mechanisms of Polyploidy
This diagram shows several pathways by which diploid species can transition to polyploid species and polyploid species can transition to diploid species. Each species is represented by an oval containing two or more colored circles. Each colored circle represents a complete set of chromosomes.

How does an organism become polyploid? Polyploids arise when a rare mitotic or meiotic catastrophe, such as nondisjunction, causes the formation of gametes that have a complete set of duplicate chromosomes. Diploid gametes are frequently formed in this way. When a diploid gamete fuses with a haploid gamete, a triploid zygote forms, although these triploids are generally unstable and can often be sterile. If a diploid gamete fuses with another diploid gamete, however, this gives rise to a tetraploid zygote, which is potentially stable. Many types of polyploids are found in nature, including tetraploids (four sets of chromosomes), hexaploids (six sets of chromosomes), and other chromosome-pair multiples
