Which greenhouse gas is 25 times better at trapping heat than carbon dioxide?
methane
How many more times heat does methane trap than carbon dioxide?
It is 21 times more effective than carbon dioxide in blocking escaping radiant heat.
What is the chemical equation for an imperfect perfect burn?
Perfect Burn: CxHy (Carbon times Hydrogen)+Oxygen=Carbon Dioxide+Water Imperfect Burn: CxHy+Oxygen=Carbon Dioxide+Water+Carbon Monoxide+CxHy
Why is uranium 238 dating better than carbon 14 dating?
Uranium dating is not better but is used for long times in geology; carbon 14 is used for short times in archaeology.
Which greenhouse gas is most associated with global warming?
When we speak of global warming, we usually mean the rise in average global temperatures that has been occurring since the beginning of the Industrial Age. Rising levels of carbon dioxide account for most of this change, followed by methane levels.
Which greenhouse gas is 25 times better at trapping heat than carbon dioxide?
methane
Which gas is about 60 times more plentiful in the ocean than in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide
How do carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide differ?
Carbon dioxide is Co2, while carbon monoxide is minus a oxygen atom and is CO. Carbon monoxide is also ten times more toxic than carbon dioxide.
How many times worse is methane compared to carbon dioxide?
Methane is twenty-one times more powerful a greenhouse gas as carbon dioxide.
How much more carbon dioxide is there than oxygen?
There is 21% oxygen in the atmosphere and 300 ppm (0.03%) carbon dioxide. This translated to 700 times more oxygen than carbon dioxide.
How many more times heat does methane trap than carbon dioxide?
It is 21 times more effective than carbon dioxide in blocking escaping radiant heat.
What is the atmosphere made of on Venus?
It is mostly carbon dioxide, 97 %, at a pressure 90 times that of earth's atmosphere at sea level.
What is the chemical equation for an imperfect perfect burn?
Perfect Burn: CxHy (Carbon times Hydrogen)+Oxygen=Carbon Dioxide+Water Imperfect Burn: CxHy+Oxygen=Carbon Dioxide+Water+Carbon Monoxide+CxHy
How carbon dioxide help people?
it gives them superpowers and makes for fun times
How many times can a bumble bee sting insted of a hornet?
Carbon Dioxide.
What is the major component of Venus's atmosphere?
The atmosphere of Venus consists mainly of carbon dioxide, and a small amount of nitrogen. The thick cloud cover is composed of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid droplets. Due to the dense atmosphere, the surface temperature ranges from 750 to 930 degrees Fahrenheit (398 to 498 Celsius). The surface pressure is 90 times that of Earth. That's like being one kilometer (more than half a mile) under the ocean.
Do trees give off oxygen some times and carbon dioxide at other times?
When you inhale oxygen (comming from the trees), you then exhale carbon dioxide, C02, that goes to the trees and starts the whole cycle over again.
