(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement “Each year after 1950 had an average global temperature higher than 1901-2000 average temperature” is true or false should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Earth is the planet that holds a variety of climates ranges from extreme cold at poles and heat at the equator. The global climate can be said as an average of regional climates. The history shows that the global climate gets cooled and also gets warm. The diverse climate such as extreme cold, sunny, dry, windy, and humid of the earth occurs because the earth revolves around the sun.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement “average global temperature before 1940was lower than 1901-2000 average temperature” is true or false should be determined.

- When organic matter decomposes under oxygen-free (anaerobic) conditions, methane is one of the products. Thus, enormous deposits of natural gas, which is almost entirely methane, serve as a major source of fuel for home and industry.(a) Known deposits of natural gas can produce 5600 EJ of energy (1 EJ = 1018 J). Current total global energy usage is 4.0×102 EJ per year. Find the mass (in kg) of known deposits of natural gas (ΔH°rxn for the combustion of CH4 = -802 kJ/mol).(b) At current rates of usage, for how many years could these deposits supply the world’s total energy needs?(c) What volume (in ft3) of natural gas, measured at STP, is required to heat 1.00 qt of water from 25.0°C to 100.0°C (d of H2O = 1.00 g/mL; d of CH4 at STP = 0.72 g/L)?(d) The fission of 1 mol of uranium (about 4×10-4 ft3) in a nuclear reactor produces 2×1013 J.

Explain.arrow_forwardA 39 g aluminum spoon (specific heat 0.904 J/g-°C) at 25°C is placed in 178 mL (177 g) of coffee at 84°C and the temperature of the two become equal. (a) What is the final temperature (in °C) when the two become equal? (Assume that coffee has the same specific heat as water, 4.1801 J/g.°C.) 4.0 °C (b) The first time a student solved this problem she got an answer of 87°C. Explain why this is clearly an incorrect answer. O The temperature of the spoon should decrease when it is exposed to the coffee. O Coffee is always lukewarm by the time you get around to drink it, and so is the spoon. O The temperature of the coffee cannot increase when a colder spoon is placed in it. O The student forgot to convert the temperature to kelvins when working this problem.

- (a) If a glove with a mass of 78.0 grams composed of cotton increases in temperature by 16.7 °F, how much energy was absorbed by the glove?arrow_forwardDuring a recent winter month in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, it was necessary to obtain 3500 kWh of heat provided by a natural gas furnace with 89% efficiency to keep a small house warm (the efficiency of a gas furnace is the percent of the heat produced by combustion that is transferred into the house). (a) Assume that natural gas is pure methane and determine the volume of natural gas in cubic feet that was required to heat the house. The average temperature of the natural gas was 56 °F; at this temperature and a pressure of 1 atm, natural gas has a density of 0.681 g/L.
