Scientific Practices Greenhouse Gas Spectra
We have shown the IR spectra of CO2 and water vapor in Figures 4.16 and 4.17, respectively. Identify another gas that is labeled a greenhouse gas. Perform an Internet search to find the IR spectrum for this gas. What are the similarities and differences among your spectra, and those of CO2 and water vapor? Next, choose a gas that is known not to be a greenhouse gas. Perform the same comparison. What is unique about the spectra of greenhouse gases?

- Marie Curie was born in Poland but studied and carried out her research in Paris. In 1903, she shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with H. Becquerel and her husband Pierre for their discovery of radioactivity. (In 1911 she received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of two new chemical elements, radium and polonium, the latter named for her homeland, Poland.) They and others observed that a radioactive substance could emit three types of radiation: alpha (), beta (), and gamma (). If the radiation from a radioactive source is passed between electrically charged plates, some particles are attached to the positive plate, some to the negative plate, and others feel no attraction. Which particles are positively charged, which are negatively charged, and which have no charge? Of the two charged particles, which has the most mass? Radioactivity. Alpha (), beta I(), and gamma () rays from a radioactive element are separated by passing them between electrically charged plates.arrow_forward1 Write a general statement about what happened to temperature when the microwave was turned on. 2 Do you think the number of molecules makes a difference in the change of temperature?

- You determine the Mg concentration of a water sample using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The sample is first diluted: 4.00 mL of the water sample is diluted to a final volume of 25.0 mL. The AAS reading for the diluted sample is 1.755 ppm. What was the Mg concentration of the original water sample, in ppm? (Enter the numerical value without units.)arrow_forwardWhen measuring the caffeine content in coffee, the molecules in the sample will absorb light. The absorbed light data provides information that can then be used in determining the concentration of caffeine.
