States of Matter

The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).

Chemical Reactions and Equations

When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.

More ozone is found in the stratosphere than the troposphere. Why is this?
The world burns approximately 3.7 * 1012 kg of fossil fuel per year. Use the combustion of octane as the representative reaction and determine the mass of carbon dioxide (the most significant greenhouse gas) formed per year. The current concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is approximately 399 ppm (by volume). By what percentage does the concentration increase each year due to fossil fuel combustion? Approximate the average properties of the entire atmosphere by assuming that the atmosphere extends from sea level to 15 km and that it has an average pressure of 381 torr and average temperature of 275 K. Assume Earth is a perfect sphere with a radius of 6371 km.

Chemistry of Fire Extinguishing Agents: Review and answer the below scenerios. a. The OSHA regulation at 29 C.F.R. §1910.162(b)(5) requires employers to provide a predischarge-employee alarm system to alert employees if a carbon dioxide concen-tration of 4% or greater is released from a fixed extinguishing system in a workplace. What is the most likely reason OSHA enacted this regulation? b. At 14 C.F.R. §121.265, FAA allows carbon dioxide to be used as a fire extinguish-ing agent onboard aircraft, provided that provisions are made to prevent harmful concentrations from entering any personnel compartment. Use Table 5.6 to deter-mine whether adverse health effects are likely to be experienced by a crew member who is confined to a compartment in which the air contains 8, carbon dioxide. c. The chemical formula of methyl bromide is CH3Br. Why does methyl bromide per-form effectively as a fire extinguishing agent? d. A potential risk of inhalation toxicity may occur to individuals that…
Global warming’s drastic effect were attributed to the rapid accumulation of “greenhouse gases”in the atmosphere. Naming carbon dioxide as its major contributor, is formed when fossil fuels arecombusted in different power plants (e.g. fuel powered, namely by coal, oil, or natural gas). Some of thepotential way to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide that is added to atmosphere is to compress the gasin underground formations. We can consider this with a 1000-MW coal-fired power plant that produces an amount of 6.0 × 10^6tons of CO2 per year. (a) In an ideal gas – or perfect gas behavior, 1.00 atm, 27°C, calculate the volume of the carbon dioxide produced by the power plant mentioned. (b) What volumecan we obtain if CO2 (liquid form) stored in underground has an equation of state as 10 °C, 120 atm, anddensity of 1.2 g/cm^3? (c) Storing this underground as gas [on another note] at 36 °C and 90 atm, whatvolume can it occupy? Is the volume is larger or smaller than in liquid form? Explain.
What properties of CFCs make them ideal for various commercialapplications but also make them a long-term problemin the stratosphere?
As weather balloons rise from the earths surface, the pressure of the atmosphere becomes less, tending to cause the volume of the balloons to expand. However, the temperatura is much lower in the upper atmosphere than at sea level. Would this temperatura effect tend to make such a balloon expand or contract? Weather balloons do, in fact, expand as they rise. What does this tell you?
You probably know that on exposure to air silver tarnishes and iron rusts; but gold, stainless steel, and chromium do not change. Explain these facts, using the concept of stability.
