What did Charles David Keeling discover by measuring carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Charles David Keeling discovered that: - the concentration of carbon dioxide in atmosphere has an important seasonal variation - after 1960 he discovered that the concentration of carbon dioxide in atmosphere increase year after year, caused very probable by anthropogenic activities
How does the high concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere affect Our environment?
For one, it contributes to Ocean acidification.
What is the relationship between the amount of carbon dioxide and global temperature?
Increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is considered a factor that increase the global warming.
What is the problem with a small increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere?
A small amount of carbon dioxide is all it takes to keep the earth comfortably warm for millions of years. A small increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is all it takes to cause global warming and threaten the future of the human race.
How does concentration affect activation energy?
Because the concentration is directly proportional to the rate of reaction (the rate will increase but k will remain the same), with an increase in concentration the activation energy will stay because the activation energy does not account for the concentration.
What gas has increase in concentration in the atmosphere since the beginning of the industrial revolution?
Carbon dioxide

Does frequently using air conditioners increase the concentration of greenhouse gases in the Atmosphere?
Yes and No. This Answer depends fully upon the Source of the Power for the air-conditioners.

How do you increase buffer capacity?
Increase the concentration of salt and acid or base. If you are not suppose to increase concentration use more volume of buffer.
How is the effect of concentration changes on the reaction seen in the rate law?
Reaction rate increase when the concentration increase.
What gas is the most important?
This depends on what you mean by important. For instance chlorinated fluorocarbons at a given concentration have an effect thousands of times that of the same concentration of Carbon dioxide. Fortunately their concentration is very low. On the other hand water vapor has a lower effect than an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide but its concentration is very high (not surprising since two thirds of the earth's surface is water) so with the current composition of the earth's atmosphere water vaporhas the greatest effect. However the concentration of water vapor varies with the temperature and is not directly affected by human activities. If we were to increase the level of water vapor in the atmosphere and leave everything else unchanged, the water vapor would fairly quickly condense out as rain, snow, frost or dew and there would be no lasting effect on global temperaturesCarbon dioxide comes second after water vapor and its concentration in the atmosphere is heavily affected by burning of fossil fuels. As the CO2 concentration increases, the temperature of the atmosphere increases, as does its ability to hold water vapor. So an increase in CO2 results in an increase in water vapor and a further increase in temperature. Because CO2 does not condense out it has a lasting effect which is amplified by the ensuing increase in water vapor.

Can entropy effect osmosis?
In a nutshell, yes. The water will go from a higher concentration to a lower concentration to increase the entropy of the lower concentration area. The increase in entropy of the lower concentration area would be greater than the loss of entropy of the higher concentration giving you a NET increase in total entropy.
Why does the percent ionization of acetic acid increase as the concentration of the solution decreases?
As you increase the concentration of the solution, the concentration of H+ does not change. Meaning, the concentration ionized does not change. Just the original concentration increases. Since percent ionization = (concentration ionized)/(original concentration) , and the original concentration is increased, the percent ionization therefore decreases.
How people increase the concentration of greenhouse gases in atmosphere?
People, we, are increasing the concentration of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere by:Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2).Cattle rearing, rice paddy farming, melting tundra and lakes, which all release methane (CH4).
