What role do CFCs play in the catalytic destruction of ozone?
(a) Ozone is destroyed upon binding to a CFC molecule that has been energized by ultraviolet light.
(b) There is no strong scientific evidence that CFCs play a significant role in the catalytic destruction of ozone.
(c) CFC molecules activate chlorine atoms into their catalytic action.
(d) CFC molecules migrate to the upper stratosphere, where they generate chlorine atoms upon being destroyed by ultraviolet light.

- (a) Construct a table showing the macrostates and all of the individual microstates for tossing 6 coins. (b) How many macrostates are there? (c) What is the total number of microstates? (d) What percent chance is there of tossing 5 heads and 1 tail? (e) How much more likely are you to toss 3 heads and 3 tails than 5 heads and 1 tail?(Take the ratio of the number of microstates to find out.)arrow_forwardForty-eight years ago, CO2 atmospheric concentratio was 351 ppm and today, it is 450 ppm. How much is the increase in CO2 concentration in ppm and metric tons? Each ppm is equivalent to 2.13 billion metric tons of CO2. CO2 emissions worldwide is indicated below, showing that 40 years after the starting record time, CO2 emissions were at 225 billion metric tons. However, CO2 atmospheric concentration did not increase by 225 billion metric tons but by 168.27 billion metric tons only.arrow_forwardThe Ozone layer is a layer of the atmosphere that is heavy with Ozone.

- A space shuttle carrying humans and science experiments contains an air ratio similar to (but not the same as) Earth: 77% of the air is a mix of N2 and Ar. The rest is O2. The total cargo volume of space shuttle's air is 25,400 L. What volume of oxygen is in the space shuttle? Group of answer choices 9,030 L 5,840 L 19,650 L 2,920 L 11,680 L Flag question: Question 6arrow_forwardDescribe the CaF2 structure in terms of a host framework of one type of atom with selective occupancy of particular interstices in that framework by the other type of atom.arrow_forwardJohn Snow, an English physician, has observed that disease is becoming more prevalent in a local neighborhood and he wants to know why. He collects information about the local people, including how many family members contracted the disease and where they live. John discovers that the disease is most common in homes located closest to the town’s water pump. John contrives an explanation: that the illness is waterborne and people are contracting the disease from water they retrieve from the town’s water pump. After petitioning the authorities, the handle at the pump is removed. John collects data about disease incidence and finds that occurrence of the disease is greatly reduced. John concludes that the water from the pump was causing the illness. What step(s) of the scientific method is/are missing from Data Table 1? Describe each and propose a way that they might be fulfilled in the scenario?arrow_forward
- Here is a simple example. The inhabitants of a small island begin exporting beautiful cloth made from a rare plant that grows only on their island. Seeing how popular the small quantity that they export has been, they steadily raise their prices. A clothing maker from New York, thinking that he can save money by "cutting out the middleman," decides to travel to the small island and buy the cloth himself. Ignorant of the local custom of offering strangers outrageous prices and then negotiating down, the clothing maker accepts (much to everyone's surpise) the initial price of 400 tepizes/m². The price of this cloth in New York is 120 dollars/yard². Part A If the clothing maker bought 500 m² of this fabric, how much money did he lose? Use 1 tepiz = 0.625 dollar and 0.9144 m = 1 yard.
