4. Carbon Monoxide is the most common air pollutant.
a. How is it formed?
b. What are its health impacts?
In normal chemical storage, the element sulfur remains unreacted with oxygen in the atmosphere. However, it is impossible for sulfur and oxygen to react spontaneously to form gaseous sulfur dioxide. This is most likely to happen:
A. rusting of iron
B. combustion of methane
C. at very low temperatures
D. only in the presence of a catalyst
E. oxidation of glucose
Scientists have correlated average global temperature with atmospheric carbon dioxide levels for the last 160,000 years using ice cores from Antarctica. How is the carbon dioxide level determined?
A. By measuring the carbon dioxide concentration in trapped air bubbles in the ice layers
B. By measuring the 18O/16O ratio in the carbon dioxide molecules
C. By extrapolating the carbon dioxide level from the temperature of the ice
