- In regard to the greenhouse effect, which statement is not true? (a) Ultraviolet and visible radiation are converted to infrared radiation at the surface of Earth. (b) Approximately one-third of the radiation of the Sun does not enter the atmosphere of Earth. (c) Infrared radiation is absorbed by greenhouse gases. (d) Greenhouse gases were not historically present in the atmosphere. (e) Ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by ozone.arrow_forwardNeon lights have different colors because each color comes from each different gas' _______________. 1) Emission spectra 2) Binding energy 3) Response to the amount of electricity 4) Response to the glass surrounding themarrow_forwardMarie 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_forward

- 2. A test of an automobile engine's exhaust revealed that 3.7 g of NO2 was emitted in 10 minutes of operation. How many moles of NO2 would this engine release if it were used for a 45-minute commute, assuming that this measured number is representative of the emission under all circumstances?arrow_forwardThe greenhouse effect is caused by… Group of answer choices too much sunshine reaching Earth Greenhouse gases in the lower atmosphere absorbing radiation from the Earth's surface, and preventing much of it escaping into space Greenhouse gases in the lower atmosphere absorbing solar radiation too much heat in the atmospherearrow_forwardIn experiment #7, you observed the formation of carbon dioxide by reacting baking soda with vinegar. Why was it not possible to relight the candle? A. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air so it stays in the beaker preventing the candle from relighting. B. Carbon dioxide is lighter than air so it escaped from the beaker and the candle should have relit. C. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air so it stays in the beaker and the candle should have relit. D. Carbon dioxide is lighter than air so it escaped from the beaker preventing the candle from relighting.arrow_forward
