Radiative Forcing Radiative forcing, R, measures the influence of carbon dioxide in altering the additional solar ration trapped in Earth's atmosphere. The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1990 estimated k to be 6.3 in the radiative forcing equation R = k In(), where Co is the preindustrial amount of carbon dioxide and C is the current level. (Data from Clime, W., The Economics of Global Warming, Institute for International Economics, Washington, D.C.) (a) Use the equation R = 6.3 In() to determine the radiative forcing R, in watts per square meter (W) to the nearest tenth, expected by the IPCC if the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere doubles from its preindustrial level. (b) Determine the global temperature increase T, in degrees Fahrenheit to the nearest tenth, that the IPCC predicted would occur if atmospheric carbon dioxide levels were to double, given T(R) = 1.03R.

What is the biological importance of stratospheric ozone? Explain.
How does hydraulic fracturing differ from previously used techniques for the recovery of natural gas from the earth?
Some chemical reactions are sensitive to air (oxygen or moisture), they are conducted under nitrogen atmosphere. Why? d.
Ozone is depleted in the stratosphere by chlorine from CF3Cl according to this set of equations:CF3Cl + UV light -------> CF3 + ClCl + O3 ------>ClO + O2O3 + UV light ---------> O2 + OClO + O ----------->Cl + O2 What total volume of ozone at a pressure of 25.0 mmHg and a temperature of 225 K is destroyed when all of the chlorine from 15.0 g of CF3Cl goes through ten cycles of the above reactions?
Loss of atmospheric ozone has led to an ozone “hole” overAntarctica. The process occurs in part by three consecutive reac-tions: (1) Chlorine atoms react with ozone (O₃) to form chlorinemonoxide and molecular oxygen. (2) Chlorine monoxide forms ClOOCl. (3) ClOOCl absorbs sunlight and breaks into chlorine atoms andmolecular oxygen.(a) Write a balanced equation for each step.(b) Write an overall balanced equation for the sequence.
Some Chem 16.1 students were tasked to perform the ideal gas experiment with some modifications. Instead of magnesium ribbon, the students were to use 0.029 g of aluminum foil. They prepared the eudiometer by adding 6M HCI and filling it with water to the brim. Once the setup was complete, they performed the experiment. Note that the aluminum was completely consumed in the reaction. From the experiment, it was found that the external pressure was 1.05 atm at 30.0 °C, and the volume of the air inside the eudiometer was 33.5 mL. The water level inside the eudiometer is 4.15 cm below the surface of the water level outside. Given these measurements and the following constants, answer the proceeding questions. At 30.0°C, Pvapor = 31.8 mmHg • R = 0.08206 L-atm/mol-K = 62.36 L-torr/mol-K • MWAI = 26.98 g/mol A. Find the value of the pressure of dry air (PDA) in torr. B. Give the balanced chemical reaction of the aluminum metal with the acid. C. Find the experimental mass (in grams) of…
You are working with an artist who has been commissionedto make a sculpture for a big city in the eastern UnitedStates. The artist is wondering what material to use to makeher sculpture because she has heard that acid rain in theeastern United States might destroy it over time. You takesamples of granite, marble, bronze, and other materials,and place them outdoors for a long time in the big city.You periodically examine the appearance and measure the mass of the samples. (a) What observations would leadyou to conclude that one or more of the materials are wellsuitedfor the sculpture? (b) What chemical process (or processes)is (are) the most likely responsible for any observedchanges in the materials?
One of the many remarkable enzymes in the human body is carbonic anhydrase, which catalyzes the interconversion of carbonic acid with carbon dioxide and water. If it were not for this enzyme, the body could not rid itself rapidly enough of the CO₂2 accumulated by cell metabolism. The enzyme catalyzes the dehydration (release to air) of up to 10 CO₂ molecules per second. Part A Which component of this description corresponds to the term enzyme? Spell out the full name of the enzyme. Submit Part B Request Answer What is the chemical formula for the component of this description that corresponds to the term substrate?
