Chapter 21, Problem 21.70QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
For monitoring carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, it should be suggested another gas rather than
Concept Introduction:
- Atmosphere: The air that is layer of gases which surrounds the earth due to gravity of earth. The earth atmosphere consists various gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide …
- Global warming is a serious environmental issue, in which there is an increase in the overall temperature of the earth by various factors.
- Greenhouse gases are the gases that trap heat in the atmosphere.

Addition of which of the following reactants would lead to the formation of more hydrogen gas? magnesium water hydrochloric acid magnesium chloride.
Why are human activities that release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere causing concern?
It has been proposed that the strong greenhouse effect in the early Earth could have resulted from
accumulation in the atmosphere of CO2 emitted by volcanoes. Imagine an Earth initially covered by
ice. Explain why volcanic CO2 would accumulate in the atmosphere under such conditions, eventually
thawing the Earth.
