CO2 is a greenhouse gas. The more CO2 in the atmosphere, the more greenhouse effect we will get. The greenhouse effect is when our atmosphere reflects heat trying to leave Earth back to it. We need some of this heat back, but if we get too much of the greenhouse effect, global temperatures will keep rising higher and higher.

What do CO2 and atmospheric CO2 levels and the global temperature from the last 150 years have in common?

They're both increasing, in pretty good correlation with each other. Most of the increase in carbon dioxide is a result of human activities. Additionally, and similarly, much of the observed increase in temperature is a result of humans.


An observation that the higher the air temperature the lower the activity of test animals would be an example of what kind of correlation?

This would be an example of a negative correlation, where as one variable (air temperature) increases, the other variable (activity of test animals) decreases.


Will CO2 be more or less soluble in water 100 degrees Celsius or 0 degrees Celsius?

As temperature increases, the ability for water to absorb CO2 decreases. That is why we see higher CO2 when temperature rises in our atmosphere.


What is the most powerful relationship between co2 and temperature?

The most powerful relationship between CO2 and temperature is that CO2 acts as a greenhouse gas, trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere. As CO2 levels increase, more heat is trapped, leading to a rise in global temperatures. This relationship is a key driver of climate change.


Why is CS2 a liquid at room temperature whereas CO2 is a gas at room temperature?

CS2 has stronger intermolecular forces, which result in a higher boiling point compared to CO2. CS2 molecules are more polarizable due to the presence of sulfur, leading to stronger London dispersion forces. As a result, CS2 exists as a liquid at room temperature while CO2, being nonpolar, exists as a gas.

Is there a direct relationship between global temperature and CO2 levels in the atmosphere?

Yes, there is a direct relationship between global temperature and CO2 levels in the atmosphere. Increased concentrations of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, lead to enhanced greenhouse effects, trapping more heat and resulting in rising global temperatures. This correlation is supported by historical climate data and scientific models, which show that periods of high CO2 levels have often coincided with warmer global climates. However, while CO2 is a significant factor, other variables also influence global temperature.

What will happen to the concentration of CO2 in THE WATER if it is heated?

Solubility of CO2 in water decreases with temperature, so as temperature is increased, the concentration of CO2 decreases.

Which variables are most likely to have a negative correlation?

A negative correlation occurs when, as one variable increases, the other variable decreases. Some variables that might have a negative correlation would be: indoor heating use and temperature outside. As the temperature outside decreases, the amount of heating used will increase.


An example of correlation?

All heroin addicts drank milk as children. Direct correlation: The more snow, the more mud. Indirect correlation: The more leaves fall from the trees in fall the less the temperature


How measure the sun temperature?

Use a spectrometer to measure the wavelength of the light. There is a direct, but inverse correlation of the wavelength to the temperature.


What is the correlation of The outside temperature and the number of people at the beach?

The answer depends on where in the world. In much of the temperate zone it will be a positive correlation but in some tropical areas people are more likely to stay indoors when the temperature gets very high.
