Greenhouse Gases: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere that may raise average temperatures on Earth. The burning of fossil fuels could be responsible for the increased levels of carbon dioxide. If current trends continue‚ future concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide in parts per million (ppm) could reach the levels shown in the accompanying table. The CO2 concentration in the year 2000 was greater than it had been at any time in the previous 160‚000 years. Year 2000

2014 ! ! Physical and Chemical Properties! Purpose/Hypothesis:! • The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the chemical and physical properties of pure chemical substances. A property of a substance is some distinguishing characteristic. Some of the most common physical properties are color‚ odor‚ hardness‚ density‚ melting point‚ boiling point‚ and solubility in various solvents. For all of these properties‚ no chemical change takes place. Chemical properties describe the tendencies of a

INTRODUCTION [SLIDE 2] Many chemical compounds found in the Earth’s atmosphere act as “greenhouse gases.” These gases allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere freely. When sunlight strikes the Earth’s surface‚ some of it is reflected back towards space as infrared radiation (heat). Greenhouse gases absorb this infrared radiation and trap the heat in the atmosphere. Over time‚ the amount of energy sent from the sun to the Earth’s surface should be about the same as the amount of energy radiated back

Experiment 4: Behavior of Gases Introduction: In this experiment‚ the problem trying to be solved is what gas laws are being used when the pressure‚ temperature‚ and volume are being measured. The three gas laws are Boyle’s Law‚ Charle’s Law‚ and Gay-Lussac’s Law. The Boyle’s Law is when volume and pressure are being compared. Pressure and volume are inversely proportional‚ because when pressure goes up‚ volume goes down. The Charle’s Law is when volume and temperature are compared. Volume and

"Kingly Gases" What is chemistry? According to dictionary.com‚ the definition of chemistry- is the science that deals with the composition and properties of substances and various elementary forms of matter. Chemistry is everywhere. For example: in a kitchen‚ it is in everybody’s chemically treated water‚ or fruits grown with fertilizers and pesticides‚ or polymer material in the marble counter tops. Again‚ Chemistry is everywhere. If a person wanted to go deeper into chemistry‚ they probably would

greenhouse effect in is the entrapment of the sun’s heat energy in the earth’s atmosphere. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ methane‚ and nitrous oxides are all gases that contribute to this phenomenon. Carbon dioxide is the most abundant greenhouse gas while water vapor the least harmful gas makes up less than one percent of the gases in the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases are produced naturally by the earth for example carbon dioxide‚ and methane is produced from the waste

Derricka Joe Period 5 1 Oct.‚ 2014 Lab Experiment One: Physical Properties Lab Analysis: For our first unknown‚ we observed the color and odor of the substance. The substance was a clumpy‚ white‚ crystal-like substance and it smells like new plastic. When we tested the solubility in water it resulted insoluble and in ethanol it resulted soluble. This substance could not be tested for electrical conductivity because the water was insoluble. We then tested for the PH value and it was neutral. The

Section 3: Procedure In this experiment‚ I observed substances in their natural state‚ and recorded their apparent physical properties. I then tested the substances to determine how they react when their natural environments were altered. The pure substances were tested to see

Student: Mary Chrisin L. ObreroDate: October 7‚ 2014 Section: 116 Behavior of Gases and Determination of Absolute Zero Experiments 4&5 Introduction: First of all‚ the Boyle’s law (pressure-volume law) indicates that the volume of a certain amount of gas given held at a constant temperature differentiates inversely with the applied pressure when there are constant temperature and mass. Equations: PV=C. When pressure goes up‚ volume goes down (derived from the equation above): P1V1 = P2V2 =

Experiment 2 Behavior of Gases PURPOSE This experiment has two parts. The purpose of part A of the experiment is to determine the atomic mass of a metallic element whereas the purpose of part B of the experiment is to determine the rate of diffusion of both gases hydrogen chloride and ammonia by measuring the distances travelled by the two gases in the same time period. For part A the reaction of the metal with the aqueous acid is as follows: M(s) + n H3O+ -----> M+n(aq) + n/2 H2(g) +
