Concept Introduction:
Energy: The energy is conversed property since it can neither be created nor be destroyed but can be transformed. The energy of the photon is obtained by using the following relation
Wavelength: The distance between the two continuous maximum displacements present in wave or the two continuous minimum displacements present in a wave exhibited by the photons is called wavelength. The wavelength of the photon is inversely proportional to its frequency. The relationship between them is given by the following formula,
Frequency: It denotes the number of waves passes in given amount of time.
To determine: The explanation for the cleavage of

- What are ways in minimizing photochemical smog? Explain and cite some examples.arrow_forwardIt is often said that water vapour amplifies the Earth’s greenhouse effect. Indicate one way that an increased atmospheric concentration water vapour can increase the greenhouse effect and one way that it can decrease the greenhouse effect.arrow_forwardWhy is ground level ozone most likely to reach its highest concentrations on hot, sunny days during periods of heavy traffic in large cities?arrow_forward
- Define the term troposphere?arrow_forwardWhat do you understand by Natural and Human Enhanced Greenhouse Effect? Discuss the causes and impacts of enhanced greenhouse effect.arrow_forwardIt is known that carbon dioxide (CO2) emission is responsible for at least 50% of greenhouseemissions. Do we need to be concerned about GWP of CO2 when using it as a refrigerant?What is the ODP of CO2?arrow_forward
- 1. What are the three main types of greenhouse gases, what are their respective characterization factors or global warming potential? 2. What is meant by the efficiency of a solar panel (PV) and what are the implications for a solar farm? 3. How is energy extracted from wind and what are the implications for a wind farm? 4. For a wind turbine, what is the impact of the wind speed on the electricity production and how does the design of the wind turbine dictate its efficiency? What control strategies can be used to optimise the performance of wind turbines? How can energy be extracted geothermally. Explain how geothermal energy can be utilised to contribute towards heat demand and what is the role of co-produced water. 5. 6.arrow_forwardThe solid rocket propellant for the Space Shuttle (and Tomahawk Missiles) contain ammonium perchlorate, NH,CIO4(s) , and aluminum powder, Als) bound together with polymer (rubber) compound. The reaction that provides the thrust for these engines is given below: 6 NH4CIO4(s) + 10 Al(s) → 4 Al203(s) + 2 AlCl3(s) + 12 H2O(g) + 3 N2(9) ; AHº, rxn ΔΗΡ -289 kJ/mol 0.0 kJ/mol -1675.5 kJ/mol -705.6 kJ/mol -241.8 kJ/mol 0.0 kJ/mol Use the enthalpies of formation (AHº;) to calculate the change in enthalpy, AH® x, for this reaction (~ 6 mols of NH4CIO4(s).
