Gases

The current level of greenhouse gases in atmosphere presents an alarming situation globally and for Australia in particular. Australia has the highest per capita carbon emissions in the world. High measure of emissions per person reflects the nation’s heavy reliance on fossil fuels. Burning coal for the generation of electricity is the dominant source of emissions for Australia (Diesendorf 2014). It has been ranked third among OECD countries and seventh in the world with respect to per capita…

Carbon Dioxide in Water Examine the role of carbon dioxide to Earth’s chemical equilibrium by researching the following: Atmospheric CO2 Composition • Present a graph showing global atmospheric carbon dioxide levels over the last 150 years • Describe the overall trend that this data shows. The graph shows a positive relationship between the number of years and the concentration in part per million, which suggests that as years go by, the concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing…

thought about Earth. One of the most significant discoveries that humanity has found was the fact that everything is made up of elements. The Noble Gases in particular, set the precedent for what all other elements strive to become. Every element in the periodic table bonds to other elements in order to have eight valence electrons, just as the Noble Gases. This “Octet” rule governs modern chemistry and all the laws of the universe. In 1868, a scientist named Pierre Jansen discovered something…

the trees here soak up carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses that pollute our atmosphere (WWF). With the increasing numbers of trees being cut down every day for the high supply and demand of the cash crops here, the amount of the greenhouse gases being released in the atmosphere have also increased . If carbon emissions from deforestation were taken into account, Brazil would rank in the top 10 of the world’s worst polluters. Greenhouse gas emissions also result when rainforest is cleared…

INTRODUCTION: This report discusses the effects of greenhouse gases on New Zealand through tourism and the actions that the NZ Government has taken to protect the environment. Nowadays, greenhouse is become a serious issue for tourist countries. New Zealand is trying to take care of it. The number of tourist is increase dramatically and because of it the amount of greenhouse gases is increased.  Greenhouse Gases: Any of the atmospheric gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect by…

objective of this lab was to collect 〖Co〗_2 gases that were given off by the Alka-Seltzer tablets and to identify experimental masses. The volume of gas was 724 liters, or 723.86 cm and the experimental mass was .0894 grams. A balance scale was used before and after the reaction to record the change in overall mass. First, using the scale, the flask, balloon, and Alka-Setlzer tablets were measured, 259.4 ±.05 Grams were found. What created the “〖Co〗_2 gases to be trapped” were the crushed…

Which do you think is worse for the environment, driving a gas guzzling truck or eating beef every day? You might think that the truck is going to be worse, but you cannot see greenhouse gases and judge which is going to produce more gas. Studies are finding that cows, and other livestock, produce greenhouse gases, are having measurable effects to climate change. Although cars produce a lot of carbon dioxide (CO2) , livestock emit methane (CH4) and CO2, plus contribute to climate change in…

Predicting surface temperature is nearly impossible. If it were possible to change greenhouse gases, it would be simple to calculate change in our temperature. If you were to change a single greenhouse gas, it would have an effect in other components. Efforts to change the system are known as “feedbacks”. Water is the most important and uncertain. Usually molecules remain in our atmosphere for hundreds of years, but water molecules only remain in the atmosphere for a few weeks. It is constantly…

Mustard Gas, in World War I, was called the King of Battle Gases because it caused more battle causalities, as in injuries that took them out of the war and some deaths, than all of the other chemical agents used in that Great War (Everts, n.d.). This synthetic agent had an innocent beginning but rapidly became something the world rallied around to ban due to its harmful effects. In 1886 Victor Meyer first discovered the harmful effects of (ClCH2CH2)2S or what would later become known as Mustard…

Many may wonder why people fuss over the amounts of greenhouse gases we produce or how it hurts our earth and the air we take in. Well it it's true, with things such as coal, petroleum, and natural gases it will release carbon dioxide (CO2) into the air, and humans only breath in oxygen thus making our air unhealthy.A great substitute for those greenhouse gases are wind turbines, what are those you may ask, well they are tall poles with a tri-propellor or sometimes different amounts of…
