Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The assumption that makes to publish the given report and the steps taken to the scenario discussed in the given publish have to be discussed.
Concept Introduction:
Monomer: A molecule is considered as monomer when this molecule bonds with another identical molecule which results to form polymer.
The HDPE are composed of fewer branches that is they are closely approaching each other with increasing molecular attractions that makes it stronger than LDPE.
The LDPE is more highly branched in which the molecular attractions will be less between the chains that makes the polymer to be softer and easily deformed.

Chemistry In Context
- Write down some of the benefits and drawbacks of going green. (This question is related to green chemistry in industry) Benefits: Drawkbacks:arrow_forwardDirection: Classify each example below. Write C, if it is chemical, M, if it is mechanical, and B, if it is Biological Weathering. 1.) A seed has found its way into a rock and a plant is beginning to split the small stone. 2.) The pollution has recently been high, and acid rain is destroying some monuments. 3.) A combination of fungi and algae grow upon the surface of a rock slowly "eating it away". 4.) Flooding has caused a landslide and part of the hillside has been affected. 5.) The salty water of the ocean is eating away the concrete support posts of the pier.arrow_forwardLand uses like using plants to produce bioplastics- does it really help the environment in the long run?arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE about carbon storage? a. Plant capture CO2 from the atmosphere and store it as carbon in the stems and roots b. Usage of cover crops and crop rotation in agriculture can help to increase carbon storage in soil c. Injection and storage of biological sequestration from stationary sources could reduce CO2 emissions and usage of fossil fuel d. Terrestrial storage helps to improve soil and water quality, reduce erosion, and reduce pest problemsarrow_forwardThe U.S. is one of several countries committed to reaching “net-zero” carbon emissions by 2050. This means that by 2050, all carbon dioxide emissions must be matched by the amount of carbon dioxide removed from the air. Why is it essential for all countries in the world to meet carbon reduction commitments like thisarrow_forwardWhen we think about the carbon cycle and human activities, it is important to differentiate between facts and hypotheses. Which of the answer choices can be considered a fact? Select all that apply. Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide will cause mean global temperature to increase by 2 degrees Celsius over the next century. In the past, atmospheric CO₂ levels rose higher than those observed today. The burning of fossil fuels contributes substantially to the ongoing rise of atmospheric CO2- The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased since 1950.arrow_forward
- 19. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is _CO2 (g) + _H₂O (1)→ __C6H1206 (s) + (C6H12O6 is glucose, the simplest sugar) a. Balance the chemical equation above by filling in the blanks. b. According to onetreeplanted.org, the average tree (across all climates and sizes) removes 10 kg of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere every year. Based on this, what mass of glucose is produced annually by the average tree? O2 (g) c. Teak is a common species of tropical tree. The graph below shows the amount of CO₂ absorbed by teak forests in tons of CO₂ per hectare of forest per year, according to the climate region where the forests are found (dry = low rainfall, humid=high rainfall). Looking at your photosynthesis equation again, what does this data suggest about which reactant is the limiting reactant for teak trees? Explain. C Teak Carbon sequestration rate (tons CO₂ ha -1yr -1) 10 10 20 Tropical humid Tropical dry Aboveground biomass, 0-20 years Belowground biomass, 0 -20 yearsarrow_forwardA styrofoam cup was analyzed in a lab and found to contain 92% by mass carbon. How much carbon can be found in a stack of polystyrene cups with a total mass of 569 grams?arrow_forwardForm a hypothesis that might explain which season is CO2 concentration the highest and which season the lowest and write a brief description explaining why it is the way it is. Hint: Plant photosynthesis reduces the CO2 concentration and decay processes increasearrow_forward
- An analysis of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) content in a food chain for an ecological system is given below: Types of samples DDT concentration (mg kg) Water 0.00005 Plankton 0.04 Minnows 0.2 – 0.9 Predatory Fish 1.3 – 2.0 Predatory Bird 6.0 Duck 22.8 Interpret these results.arrow_forward2. Based on what you have learned so far, why is it necessary to stir the water and wait until the end of the video to read the dissolved oxygen? The stirring aerates the water, causing the oxygen to dissolve more easily in the water. The stirring causes oxygen molecules to leave. The stirring causes the H20 to break apart and release oxygen. The stirring causes hydrogen gas to mix with oxygen gas making water.arrow_forwardThe chart shows average CO2 emissions for fossil fuel vehicles (gasoline, diesel, and hybrid gas‑electric), as well as electric vehicles. The ordinate is mg CO2 per mile driven per pound mass of the vehicle (called curb weight). For electric vehicles, CO2 emission varies in U.S. states because of the mix of fuels used to generate electricity. If electricity came entirely from solar power, there would be little CO2 associated with its production. California has the lowest CO2 emission for producing electricity and Ohio has the highest because it depends heavily on coal‑fired power plants. The chart does not include CO2 emission from manufacturing vehicles. When normalized for distance driven by each kind of vehicle before it is scrapped, CO2 emission associated with manufacturing electric vehicles is estimated to be 25–75% greater than CO2 emission associated with manufacturing gasoline and diesel vehicles. If manufacturing were included, CO2 emission associated with electric vehicles…arrow_forward
