Question
Chapter 10, Problem 10.129SP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The effect of more water vapor in the atmosphere on climate change should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Climate change is serious concern that includes several phenomena such as greenhouse effect and global meltdown of glaciers. This climate change is studied with the aid of The GWP value is abbreviation for Global Warming potential. It is indicator that determines relative extent of gas trapped in the atmosphere on a per mass basis.

- Does it seem logical that the burning of fossil fuels and the addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere leads to the warming of the Earth? Why or why not?arrow_forwardMuch of the U.S. electricity is generated in thermal generating stations that burn fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas. The use of solar-powered generating stations is expected to increase over the next decade and replace older fossil-fuel generating stations. What impact might this change have on greenhouse gas emissions?arrow_forwardWhich 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_forward
- The 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_forwardThe bonds that hold the atoms in a molecule together behave like simple springs. As a result, atmospheric molecules oscillate at frequencies similar to that of infrared radiation, so that these molecules can both absorb and emit infrared radiation (i.e., resonance). Make a simple sketch to illustrate the greenhouse effect by showing:- infrared radiation originating at the Earth’s surface- a carbon dioxide molecule (with springs) in the atmosphere- any radiation absorbed by the molecules being reemitted in a random directionWhy does the presence of the molecule change the Earth’s temperature?arrow_forwardThe greenhouse effect is a natural process that maintains the Earth's temperature within a range that sustains life. Which statement accurately describes the cause of the enhanced greenhouse effect? O a. Burning fossil fuels causes an increase in the amount of atmospheric greenhouse gases, such as CO2, resulting in the enhanced greenhouse effect. O b. Increased amounts of solar energy and infrared radiation are trapped by atmospheric greenhouse gases as a result of the sun burning hotter, which contributes to the enhanced greenhouse effect. O c. Cellular respiration and photosynthesis use CO2 from the atmosphere, reducing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. o d. Ultraviolet radiation from cyclic solar flares enhance the greenhouse effect by increasing the amount of thermal radiation absorbed by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.arrow_forward
