Chapter 2, Problem 23Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The three ways in which the given photos show the air print of humans has to be provided.
Concept Introduction:
Quality of air refers to a condition in which air in the surrounding. Good air quality refers to the condition of air with less pollution, clear air and free from smog.
The three indoor sources include,
- Emission of gases from chimney- they have effect on air quality.
- CFC’s emitted from air condition and refrigerator-hurt the air quality.
- Burning of wood- hurt the air quality.
The three outdoor sources include,
- Burning of wood, vegetation, fuels …- hurt the air quality.
- Vehicles with poor silencer - hurt the air quality.
- Emission of gases from the industries- hurt the air quality.

- Marie Curie was born in Poland but studied and carried out her research in Paris. In 1903, she shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with H. Becquerel and her husband Pierre for their discovery of radioactivity. (In 1911 she received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of two new chemical elements, radium and polonium, the latter named for her homeland, Poland.) They and others observed that a radioactive substance could emit three types of radiation: alpha (), beta (), and gamma (). If the radiation from a radioactive source is passed between electrically charged plates, some particles are attached to the positive plate, some to the negative plate, and others feel no attraction. Which particles are positively charged, which are negatively charged, and which have no charge? Of the two charged particles, which has the most mass? Radioactivity. Alpha (), beta I(), and gamma () rays from a radioactive element are separated by passing them between electrically charged plates.arrow_forwardArrange the following steps to explain how microwave oven cooks food. Write No.1-4 on the blank provided, 1 as the first step, and 4 is the last. ___7. As microwaves pass through the food, they transfer energy to the water molecules in the form of heat. This will cook the food.___8. A part of the oven produces microwaves.___9. The microwaves are sent to the reflecting fan.___10. The microwaves are reflected in many directions by the fan and the walls of the microwave oven.arrow_forwardClimate Change: Which of these is an example of a human activity that causes climate change?

- Some greenhouse gases, such as fluorocarbons (CFCs, HFCs, PFCs, etc.), are human-made. Others, such as water, methane, and carbon dioxide, are naturally produced. Which type of greenhouse gas (human-made or natural) is more difficult to control and eliminate? Which types are easier? In three to five sentences, provide evidence for your argument.arrow_forwardWhen we think about the carbon cycle and human activities, it is important to differentiate between facts and hypotheses. Which of the answer choices can be considered a fact? Select all that apply. Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide will cause mean global temperature to increase by 2 degrees Celsius over the next century. In the past, atmospheric CO₂ levels rose higher than those observed today. The burning of fossil fuels contributes substantially to the ongoing rise of atmospheric CO2- The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased since 1950.arrow_forwardDirection: Classify each example below.

- 4) But the real angler continues, regardless of the local sage. What sort of tone does the author create by using the connotative effects of the word sage in paragraph 6? The word "sage" is used primarily as a joke, gently mocking the fishing guide who cannot force fish to A) appear or guarantee good fishing to a paying customer. Primarily, the author is creating None of awe or B) respect for the great wisdom and power that the Eiminate sage, or fishing guide, holds in his mind. The author is being highly critical, even condemning. of the ignorance of these so-called "sages who can't help fisherman catch fish.

The bottle was labelled information was given, but inside the bottle were some white crystals. The student took the bottle to a chemistry laboratory, where she analyzed the crystals with the help of the laboratory staff. C₁2H₁6O reacted with Br₂ in CCl4 adding one mole of Br, and forming C₁₂H₁OB2₂. When a sample of C₁₂H₂O was reacted with O3 followed by Zn/H₂O, two different samples, J and K, were obtained. Compound J had a molecular formula of C.HgO₂, and its NMR is shown below. Compound K had a molecular formula of C₂H₂O, and it could be oxidized to compound L, with a molecular formula of C₂H₂O₂. The IR spectrum of L showed a very wide, strong band centred around 3000 cm*¹. The NMR spectrum of L showed only two different absorptions: a doublet (6H) at 0.9 ppm and a septet (1H) at 3.6 ppm. There was also a singlet (1H) off the scale at 11.8 ppm. students, deduce possible…arrow_forward
