Question
Chapter 4, Problem 33Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The direct measurements of Earth’s atmospheric temperture over the last several thounsands of years are not avilable, it should be explained that how can scientists estimate past fluctuations in the temperature.
Concept introduction:
- Global warming is a serious environmental issue, in which there is an increase in the overall temperature of the earth by various factors.
- Climate change is the long term changes in temperature and precipitation in any specific area in the earth. Climate changes will occurs through natural ways and also in anthropogenic ways.

- How can we solve these problems with temperature?arrow_forwardA student dissolves 10.3g of ammonium nitrate NH4NO3 in 300.g of water in a well-insulated open cup. He then observes the temperature of the water fall from 22.0°C to 19.3°C over the course of 3.1 minutes. Use this data, and any information you need from the ALEKS Data resource, to answer the questions below about this reaction: NH4NO3s -> NH+4aq + NO−3aq You can make any reasonable assumptions about the physical properties of the solution. Be sure answers you calculate using measured data are rounded to the correct number of significant digits. Is this reaction exothermic, endothermic, or neither? If you said the reaction was exothermic or endothermic, calculate the amount of heat that was released or absorbed by the reaction in this case.
