CH 3 Summary
Chapter 3 delves into the historical dynamics of the pre-1700s world, emphasizing the prosperous regions around the Indian Ocean and China, which were central to global wealth and commerce. European efforts to access these riches led to pivotal developments such as Portuguese voyages around Africa and Columbus's journey west. The chapter highlights the diverse "core" territories and the dominance of Islamic law in governing commercial transactions, showcasing a cosmopolitan era with mosques in Chinese trading cities. Despite China's initial advancements in naval technology under Zheng He, internal politics led to its retreat from maritime endeavors, paving the way for Europe's rise to global power. Marks underscores the importance of understanding history as a series of contingent possibilities, prompting readers to consider alternative scenarios, like a transpacific voyage altering global trajectories.
The chapter then explores the formation of modern European states, driven by territorial disputes, economic competition, and newfound resources from the Western hemisphere. Marks invites reflection on the purpose and evolution of states while illustrating their symbiotic relationship with maritime empires. Ultimately, the chapter underscores the interconnectedness of state-building, imperialism, and economic shifts preceding the Industrial Revolution, urging readers to reconsider conventional narratives and grasp the complex interplay shaping the world's
historical trajectory. By embracing this nuanced perspective, readers stand to gain a deeper understanding of global dynamics and historical contingencies, which can inform contemporary interpretations and broaden our comprehension of the modern world. Questions
What are the important global economic effects of the European conquest of the western hemisphere? The European conquest of the Western Hemisphere had a significant global economic impact. Firstly, it gave European powers access to vast new resources, including precious metals like gold and silver, agricultural products, and other natural riches. This influx of wealth fueled European economies and facilitated the growth of mercantilist practices. Secondly, the conquest opened new markets for European goods and stimulated trade networks that spanned the Atlantic Ocean. The exploitation of indigenous labor and resources also contributed to the rise of plantation economies, particularly in regions like the Caribbean and Latin America, which became integral to the global economy by producing cash crops such as sugar, tobacco, and cotton. Additionally, colonizing the western hemisphere led to the establishment of colonial trade routes and networks, further integrating previously disparate regions into the emerging global economic system.
What kinds of advantages did the European state system produce during this period? Why do you think these patterns of making states would matter? The European state system during this period generated several advantages. Firstly, competition among European states drove technological advancements and innovations,

Anna was asked to identify and explain if the equation
CO2 (g) → CO2 (I) was an endothermic or exothermic
reaction. However she got it wrong. What is her error
and what should the answer have been?
Anna's statement: The equation is an endothermic
reaction because the energy is released from gaseous
CO2 to the surroundings to become liquidCO2
causing the molecules to speed up.

4. Photochemical smog is a type of air pollution in the troposphere of our planet produced when sunlight
acts upon motor vehicle exhaust gases to form harmful substances such as ozone (O3). For example,
nitrogen dioxide (NO2) reacts with atmospheric oxygen (O2) in the presence of light to produce ozone (O3)
and nitrogen monoxide (NO).

10) Hydrocarbons are organic compounds consisting of hydrogen and carbon only. Burning
hydrocarbons in the presence of oxygen, O2, produces carbon
She oxide, CO₂, and water, H₂O.
Methane, CH4, is a hydrocarbon used primarily as fuel to make heat and light. The overall reaction
of a number of such steps of methane gas is:
CH4(g) + O2(g) + NO(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(g) + NO2(g) + OH(g)
Suppose that 3.92 L of methane at STP, 10.8 L of oxygen at STP, and 8.3 L of nitrogen monoxide at
STP were combined in a 7.0 L flask. The reaction is allowed the stand for several weeks at 275 K. If
the reaction reaches 79.5% of completion, what is the total pressure in the flask? What is the partial
pressure of CH4(g) and H2O(g) in the flask?

Loss of atmospheric ozone has led to an ozone “hole” overAntarctica. The process occurs in part by three consecutive reac-tions: (1) Chlorine atoms react with ozone (O₃) to form chlorinemonoxide and molecular oxygen. (2) Chlorine monoxide forms ClOOCl. (3) ClOOCl absorbs sunlight and breaks into chlorine atoms andmolecular oxygen.(a) Write a balanced equation for each step.(b) Write an overall balanced equation for the sequence.
