- Which statement best describes the cause of the Earth's warming in recent decades? Which one is it? 1. Volcanic eruptions have increased in frequency, causing more greenhouse gases to be emitted. 2. The sun has become brighter, causing the planet to absorb more heat. 3. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide have increased in concentration. This has prevented some of the radiation that normally leaves the Earth's atmosphere from leaving, causing the temperature l to increase. 4. The species of plant that normally absorb sunlight have undergone genetic mutations, causing them to emit heat rather than absorb it.arrow_forwardGaseous fuels behave differently from liquid and solid fuels.

- Can you help me answer this type of question from my study review package pleasearrow_forwardThe molar heat capacity of a diatomic molecule is 29.1 J/K · mol. Assuming the atmosphere contains only nitrogen gas and there is no heat loss, calculate the total heat intake (in kJ) if the atmosphere warms up by 3.0°C during the next 50 years. Given that there are 2.8 x 10²20 moles of diatomic molecule present, how many kilograms of ice (at the North and South Poles) will this quantity of heat melt at 0° C? (The molar heat of fusion of ice is 6.01 kJ/mol.) Total heat intake: × 10 kJ Ice melted: × 10 |kg (Enter your answer in scientific notation.)arrow_forwardAnna was asked to identify and explain if the equation CO2 (l) → CO2 (g) was an endothermic or exothermic reaction. However she got it wrong. What is her error and what should the answer have been? Anna's statement: The equation is an exothermic reaction because the energy is released from liquid CO2 to the surroundings to become gaseous CO2 causing the molecules to slow down.arrow_forward
