What make a greenhouse gas a greenhouse gas?

At least three atoms bonded together

acetate

C2H3O2 1-

carbonate

CO3 2-

Huge weather balloons partially filled with helium are sent high into the earth's atmosphere to examine the air. As a balloon rises into the air, the air pressure outside the balloon decreases rapidly. If the atmospheric pressure becomes one-third of its original pressure, what will happen to the balloon volume?

Due to a decrease in external pressure the volume of the balloon should increase in volume by a factor of three.

Why do scuba divers sometimes get the bends?

"the bends," is related to Henry's Law, which states that more gas will be dissolved in a liquid when the gas is pressurized. However, if a diver ascends too quickly, nitrogen gas bubbles will rapidly expand in body tissue rather than being exhaled

n

# of moles of the particles

avergage atomic mass

(mass of isotope 1 x % of isotope 1) + (mass of isotope 2 x % of isotope 2)

polyatomic ion

-a charged entity that has more than one element -not binary -cation 1st, anion 2nd -charges add to zero

solution

-a gas, liquid or solid evenly dispersed throughout another medium -homogeneous mixtures

type 1 ionic binary compounds

-cation with a known charge + anion with known charge -metal first -non metal suffix replaced with "ide"

type 2 ionic binary compound

-cation with a unknown charge + anion with known charge -transition metals -identify charge of anion -metal cation with a roman numeral -anion with suffix replaced with "ide"

binary compounds

-contains 2 different elements -can be ionic or covalent

oxyacids

-does have oxygen -no "hydro" -ate: ic / ite: ous

binary acids

-doesn't contain oxygen -add prefix "hydro" -add suffix "ic" -add word acid at the end

covalent binary compounds

-prefix goes before element's name to show # of atoms in that element -second element has suffix "ide" -no 'mono' before first element

limiting reactant

-reactant that runs out first in a chemical reaction -limits the amount of products that can be made

negative feedback loop

-slows down process -decreases warming

positive feedback loop

-speeds up process -increases warming

physical characteristics of gases

-takes up volume and shape of container -compressible

standard temperature and pressure

-temp: 273 kelvin -pressure: 1 atm

molarity

-the concentration of a solution -moles of solution/ liters of solution

3 greenhouse gases

-water vapor -carbon dioxide -methane

Use gas law variables to explain how your lungs work

In the process of breathing-in, our chest grows slightly and the rib cage gains in size (and volume), and so the air inside our lungs occupy a larger space (volume) and the pressure drops. Air pressure then pushes air into our lungs. This is an example of Boyle's law.
