Ice caps reflect more light than deserts due to their higher albedo, which is the measure of reflectivity of a surface. Ice and snow have a high albedo, often reflecting about 80-90% of incoming solar radiation, while deserts, despite their light color, typically reflect around 30-40%. This difference in albedo means that ice caps play a crucial role in regulating the Earth's temperature by reflecting sunlight back into space, thereby influencing climate patterns.

A lower blank will cause a sidewalk to be warmer than the grass next to it although both are in the sunlight?

A lower albedo (reflectivity) in the sidewalk will cause it to absorb more solar radiation and heat up more than the grass, which reflects more sunlight. The concrete sidewalk has a higher heat capacity compared to grass, which also contributes to it being warmer.

Why does blank titration shows the higher value compared to sample titration in iodine value?

In blank titration, no sample is present to react with the iodine solution, leading to an apparent excess of iodine. This can result in a higher value as all the iodine being counted towards the blank. In sample titration, the sample reacts with the iodine, leading to a lower amount of iodine available to react, resulting in a lower value compared to the blank titration.
