Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 84E
In the Chemistry and the Environment box on free radicals in this chapter, we discussed the importance of the hydroxyl radical in reacting with and eliminating many atmospheric pollutants. However, the hydroxyl radical does not clean up everything. For example, chlorofluorocarbons—which destroy stratospheric ozone—are not attacked by the hydroxyl radical. Consider the hypothetical reaction by which the hydroxyl radical might react with a chlorofluorocarbon:
OH(g)+ CF2Cl2(g)→HOF(g)+ CFCl2(g)
Use bond energies to explain why this reaction is improbable. (The C—F bond energy is 552 kJ/mol.)

5. Consider the structures of greenhouse gases, CO2 and CH4. Carbon dioxide has a very long lifetime in the air (centuries) versus methane that has a relatively short lifetime (decade). The lifetime of a molecule is also a reflection of the bonding and stability of the molecule. Discuss why you think these greenhouse gases have such different lifetimes in the atmosphere based on molecular structure, bond types, etc...
For this experiment, you used 0.25 g of sodium bicarbonate, which is a relatively small mass of solid. Identify the potential
consequences of using a much larger mass of sodium bicarbonate.
The flask could explode.
The heat of the reaction might cause boiling.
The reaction would not occur.
The stopper of the flask could pop off.
The temperature of the reaction would decrease significantly.
What is the greenhouse effect? How does the excess CO2 gas in the atmosphere cause the greenhouse effect?

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.
