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.

You and your friends are having lunch together and complaining about the cold weather. Kathy begins telling about her spring break trip to warm,
sunny Spain. She starts to laugh when she tells the group that she was frustrated when she awoke on the first day to an outside temperature of 18°
and a predicted high of 24°. Kathy was laughing because in Spain temperatures are measured in Celsius. What was the predicted high in
Fahrenheit?

An engine emits about 5lbs of Carbon atoms in the form of Carbon dioxoide molecules for every gallon of gas it consumes. The average American car is driven about 12,000 miles per year. Using this information, check the statement that the average American car releases its own weight in carbon into the atmosphere each year. What are some assumptions that you can make to solve this problem?
For every 5lb of the car's weight = 1 gallon of gas
the average weight of a car = 4000lbs
the average miles per gallon = 23.6
With this information, you can use conversions to determine how many gallons of gas that car requires to go 12000 miles.
Define the term Planck constant?

- 2.) It’s a bad day in the lab! Two students are doing experiments. Each is 20 feet away from the professor. At the same time, each of them lets the same amount of a smelly gas into the room. One of them releases ammonia, NH3, and the other releases SO2. NH3 has a pungent odor, and SO2 smells like rotten eggs. The professor has no idea that this has happened, until she smell the first gas. Which chemical will the professor smell first? (NH3 or SO2) . If the professor starts to smell the first gas 42. seconds after the gas is released, how long will it take her to smell the second gas? sec. * Note: It is unsafe practice to work with these chemicals in an open lab.arrow_forwardThe toy rockets were engineered so well that now you have dreams of creating a real life replica that can carry people to the space station.

Its population has been declining since the 1960s, and it has been speculated that habitat loss, pesticide usage combined, and climate change have affected the shrike population size. In 2004, there were approximately 70 loggerhead shrikes breeding in Canada. Over the next five years, 90 new shrikes were born, 60 died, and 24 left the area. Calculate the change in the population of eastern loggerhead shrike between 2004 and 2009. Express your answer rounded to the nearest whole number.arrow_forward
- Environmental science is an interdisciplinary field of study. This means that.arrow_forwardThe atmosphere of Mars is 96% CO2, with a pressure of approximately 6 * 10−3 atm at the surface. Based on measurements taken over a period of several years by the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS), the average daytime temperature at the REMS location on Mars is –5.7 °C (22 °F), while the average nighttime temperature is –79 °C (–109 °F). This daily variation in temperature is much larger than what we experience on Earth. What factor plays the largest role in this wide temperature variation, the composition or the density of the atmosphere?arrow_forwardDescribe in your own words the Kinetic Molecular Theory of gases. The Kinetic Molecular Theory of gases tells us that the energy content of any gas is related only to its temperature. It also tells us that it is possible to compute the "RMS" (root mean squared) velocity of any gas molecule if you know its formula weight and its temperature. Using this information describe how you might compute the RMS velocity of sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the atmosphere of the planet Venus (T = 820 F), the RMS velocity of oxygen (O2) in the atmosphere of Earth (T = 50 F), or the RMS velocity of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere of Mars (T = - 80 F).arrow_forward
