What graph best shows the relationship between the concentration of carbon dioxide in earths atmosphere and the amount of infrared radiation absorbed by the atmosphere?
We do not have your graph and can't answer. I would suggest you look at the graphs and the vectors.
What are the costs in carbon dioxide terms of holding a pop concert to publicise the dangers of global warming?
Perhaps you could be unique from all of the other alarmists out there, and show an accurate graphical that shows the REAL picture: On a graph, (the graph will need to be the length of a football field to be accurate) show the breakdown of ALL of the components of the atmosphere. At the END of the graph, show the TOTAL carbon dioxide that is in the atmosphere today. 360 Parts Per Million (PPM) will be shown as a little over an inch of TOTAL carbon dioxide on your graph, if you decide to do it accurately. The CHANGE in carbon dioxide over the last hundred years has been about 50 PPM, or on your graph it would be a little less than 1/4 inches. Then to be truly accurate, and to fully disclose the importance of the carbon dioxide increase, show that not only has this not been the HIGHEST level of carbon dioxide that the earth has experienced, the phase that the earth is going through currently is one of the COOLEST periods on record, which has lasted for a couple thousand years. Earth is ACTUALLY returning to a more typical temperature level. There are some who truly believe in the global warming theories, but unfortunately there are so many true scientists who would tell you otherwise, but are afraid to speak out for fear of the consequences they would suffer. "Global Warming" is a political issue. If you'll bother to look any further than the emotional content, you'll find that there is nothing really of substance to the global warming movement. It's all smoke and mirrors and a lot of rhetoric. That's ok, I'm sure you have your firm beliefs and won't bother to listen to anything that I have to say. So have a good concert. But to answer your question, one of the major costs of the concert would be THE TRUTH. You would need to be willing to ignore the truth if you were to put on a concert like that.
Describe how one variable may affect another variable in the weathering process?
Decaying organic matter and living plant roots release carbon dioxide , which combines with water to produce acid, which in turn increases the weathering rate.
How could increased carbon dioxide be linked to global warming?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a powerful greenhouse gas. In the atmosphere it captures the sun's heat and warms the planet. This is part of the natural carbon cycle. Additional carbon dioxidecomes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This CO2 has been hidden underground for millions of years so its presence is an extra burden that the carbon cycle cannot manage.A:Carbon dioxide is a naturally occurring greenhouse gas. In previous concentrations, it helped maintain global temperatures at a level that is comfortable for humans and other animals that have adapted to the present climate. Increases in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are resulting in global warming, by trapping more heat. The planet Venus offers an extreme example - although its orbit is close to that of the Earth, Venus has a surface temperature that would melt lead, because its atmosphere consists mainly of carbon dioxide. In the very long term, concentrations have fallen below these levels, but always coinciding with Ice Ages. A very good demonstration of this come from an ice core two kilometres long and equivalent to 150,000-year record of warmth, cold and warmth, that a French-Soviet drilling team at Vostok Station in central Antarctica produced in 1985, a complete ice age cycle. They found that the level of atmospheric CO2 had gone up and down in remarkably close step with temperature throughout the length of the core.The CO2 levels in the Vostok Station record got as low as 180 parts per million (ppm) in the cold periods and reached 280 in the warm periods, but never higher. But in the atmosphere over the ice, the level of the gas had already reached 350, far above anything seen in this geological era, and is now around 380 ppm.From the time of the Industrial Revolution, things began to change, slowly at first, then gradually more quickly, especially after 1970. Using isotope comparisons for C12, C13 and C14 ratios, scientists have proven that the increase from 260-280 ppm to the present 390 ppm of atmospheric carbon dioxide is entirely due to human activities.A:Global warming is a slow but steady rise in earth's temperatures and is caused, largely, by increase in greenhouse gases, of which the major human contribution is carbon dioxide. The greenhouse effect warms the atmosphere and is caused by atmospheric carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis consumes carbon dioxide tending to counteract greenhouse effect.A:The Earth is much like a greenhouse where the gasses produced by the plants will stay in the greenhouse to create a much more moist and humid atmosphere. Heat from the sun comes in as visible light.Heat escapes as infra-red radiation (invisible light)If they balance, THEN the temperature of the Earth stays constant.Carbon dioxide tends to block the infra-red radiation, less heat escapes, and so the planet gets warmer.A:One of the more interesting issues that is often ignored in most discussions is the saturation issue of carbon dioxide. The first 20 ppm in our atmosphere make up most of the induced warming from carbon dioxide. After the first 150 ppm or so, the ability of carbon dioxide to increase temperature by itself become almost nill. (see Lindzen-Choi graph in related link). The doubling of CO2 from the 190 to 380 ppm has followed this trend and seen less then a degree (C) of overall warmth. Doubling again, using this graph, will see almost no additional heating of the planet according to this concept.
What is the change in the amount of carbon dioxide in the air over the last 50 years?
Atmospheric CO2 has gone from something on the order of 310 ppm (parts per million) to over 380 ppm in the last 50 years. That's about a 20% increase. In just 50 years. A graph from Wikipedia is linked. Go look. Can anything be more plain than that we, the people, are making more CO2 and making it more quickly than it was made before?

How does mixing dye affect the absorption spectrum?
They do not form a logical absorbance graph
What does it mean if one found negative absorption in uv-vis absorption graph?
That means your blank has a higher absorption at that particular wavelength than the sample. This really shouldn't happen assuming your blank is water.

How do you prepare the standard curve?
To prepare the standard curve you will need linear graph paper, semi-log graph paper and absorbance. You can define your standard curve by finding the absorption or percent plot on the Y axis.
How do scientist know that global warming is made by a natural process?
The current atmospheric carbon dioxide level of 380 ppm is a small fraction of what it was during other periods of earth's history. It peaked at about 7000 ppm 530 million years ago in the Cambrian period. When looking at a graph of carbon dioxide levels and average temperatures, it is plainly visible that there is no correlation (google "climate and the carboniferous period" to see the chart and article). It is true that the planet is warming, but it appears the cause is that the sun has gotten hotter and this increase in output is cyclical.Answer:The vast majority of scientists have concluded that the present rapid global warming is caused by man made greenhouse gas emissions. The primary emission i s carbon dioxide. Man has also altered the greenhouse gas sinks (processes that remove carbon dioxide) so that less carbon dioxide is removed from the air.Thy know the earth is heating up from measurements of air land and seaThey know carbon dioxide and other GHGs are increasing by direct measurement.They have observed direct consequences from measurement of permafrost, arctic multivear ice, plant and animal populations and glacier erosion.
How does dry ice help keep the temperature low?
­­Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. A block of dry ice has a surface temperature of -109.3 degrees Fahrenheit (-78.5 degrees C). Dry ice also has the very nice feature of sublimation -- as it breaks down, it turns directly into carbon dioxide gas rather than a liquid. The super-cold temperature and the sublimation feature make dry ice great for refrigeration. For example, if you want to send something frozen across the country, you can pack it in dry ice. It will be frozen when it reaches its destination, and there will be no messy liquid left over like you would have with normal ice.Many people are familiar with liquid nitrogen, which boils at -320 degrees F (-196 degrees C). Liquid nitrogen is fairly messy and difficult to handle. So why is nitrogen a liquid while carbon dioxide is a solid? This difference is caused by the solid-liquid-gas features of nitrogen and carbon dioxide.­We are all familiar with the solid-liquid-gas behavior of water. We know that at sea level, water freezes at 32 degrees F (0 degrees C) and boils at 212 degrees F (100 degrees C). Water behaves differently as you change the pressure, however. As you lower the pressure, the boiling point falls. If you lower the pressure enough, water will boil at room temperature. If you plot out the solid-liquid-gas behavior of a substance like water on a graph showing both temperature and pressure, you create what's called a phase diagram for the substance. The phase diagram shows the temperatures and pressures at which a substance changes between solid, liquid and gas.This page shows the phase diagrams for water and carbon dioxide. What you can see is that, at normal pressures, carbon dioxide moves straight between gas and solid. It is only at much higher pressures that you find liquid carbon dioxide. For example, a high-pressure tank of carbon dioxide or a carbon-dioxide fire extinguishercontains liquid carbon dioxide.To make dry ice, you start with a high-pressure container full of liquid carbon dioxide. When you release the liquid carbon dioxide from the tank, the expansion of the liquid and the high-speed evaporation of carbon dioxide gas cools the remainder of the liquid down to the freezing point, where it turns directly into a solid. If you have ever seen a carbon-dioxide fire extinguisher in action, you have seen this carbon-dioxide snow form in the nozzle. You compress the carbon-dioxide snow to create a block of dry ice. hope this helps!!!!!!
