Chemistry Vs Climatic Changes

 

        Chemistry plays an important role in determining the current state and the predictions of the future state of earth's climate because a large number of agents that force earth's climate are chemically active. Chemical processes in the atmosphere to determine the abundances and properties of atmospheric forcing agents.




        The atmosphere enables life on Earth. It is a relatively thin layer of gases surrounding our planet. The life-sustaining composition of the atmosphere is unique compared to other planets in the solar system. By volume, dry air is a mixture of various gases. Due to gravity, air density decreases with altitude. Because of Photochemical Reactions initiated by the absorption of energy from sunlight, the constituents of dry air vary in the different layers of the atmosphere.

        The major constituents of air are Nitrogen (78%), Oxygen (21%), Argon (1%) and Carbon dioxide (0,04%). The relative concentration of gases remains constant close to the Earth’s surface. Although water vapour accounts for only a small percentage of air, it is an important gas, particularly in the lower atmosphere. Altogether, the atmosphere consists of thousands of gases, but most of them are found in much smaller proportions than the primary gases.

     


        The Earth’s atmosphere can be divided into different layers from lowest to highest based on their temperature: troposphere (0 to 10 km), stratosphere (10 to 50 km), mesosphere (50 to 100 km) and thermosphere (100 to 500 km). In addition, air pressure and gas mixtures vary, depending on the layers and their regions.


        Here, we understand the Earth is made of many chemicals. The climatic changes are recently indicated the vast difference.. It is clear that the increase in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions since the industrial revolution is the chief cause of observed global warming.  Global warming has really taken effect in the world over the past century. It is unusually rapid increase in the Earth's average surface temperature over the past century primarily due to the greenhouse gases released as people burn fossil fuels. Global warming enhancing greenhouse gases emission and build-up in the Earth's environment. The gases that have an influence on the atmosphere are Water Vapour, Carbon dioxide, Dinitrogen-oxide, and Methane. 

                                              

        Almost 30% of incoming sunlight is reflected back into space by bright surfaces like clouds and ice. In other 70%, most is absorbed by the land and ocean, and the rest is absorbed by the atmosphere. The absorbed solar energy heats our planet. This absorption and radiation of heat by the atmosphere is beneficial for life on Earth. Climate can change if there is a change in the amount of solar energy that gets to the Earth.

        Carbon dioxide is already at levels much higher than at any time in the last 800,000 years, and continued emissions are expected to lead to significant further warming. Moreover, the speed of warming will be faster than during past natural climate change events, making adaptation more difficult. This change in climate is expected to bring changes in regional temperature and precipitation and to increase the frequency of heat waves, heavy rainfall, and some other types of extreme weather events. These will have a serious adverse effect on human wellbeing and the natural world.

        In conclusion, we need to take part and try to stop global warming and other effects on climate change. If the Earth's temperature continue to rise in the future, living things on earth would become extinct due to the high temperatures. If human contribute to control global warming, this world be cooler and the high temperatures we currently have would decrease.

Queen Of Chemsitry

Image
         Benzene ( C6H6)  is the 'Queen of chemistry'. Benzene is an organic compound with the chemical formula of C6H6. It is also considered a parent compound of the various Aromatic compounds. The properties of benzene is a colorless, flammable, and highly aromatic liquid with a sweet odor. In benzene, there are two carbon atoms in each carbon atom and one hydrogen atom. The C-C bonds in benzene represent the combination of single and double bonds in resonance structures of benzene.   Benzene Chemical Formula is C6H6   Benzene Molecular Weight is 78u    Benzene is a versatile organic compound  applied in the various chemical industries such as in the manufacture of plastics, rubbers, lubricants, and more. However, Benzene is toxic and carcinogenic and that is why it has some non-industrial uses. Here are some applications of structure of Benzene: Benzene can be used as a solvent in nonpolar substances such as oils, fats, resins, etc. It also helps in degreasing of the metals

What happens to our body, when we stop consuming sugar!!

Image
                     Sugar is naturally in lots of foods like fruit, vegetables, milk, cheese, and even grains. But manufacturers also add different forms of sugar and syrup to processed and prepackaged foods like ice cream, cookies, candy, and soda, as well as to less obvious products like ketchup, spaghetti sauce, yogurt, bread, and salad dressing. 1.Lower Triglycerides                   If your body weight is higher than it should be, you are more likely to have high cholestrol numbers, including triglycerides, a type of fat in your blood. Cut added  sugar and you could lower calories and body weight, which could improve your cholestrol.  2.Lower Herat Disease Risk                    High triglycerides raise your heart disease. If you get more than 20% of your calories from added sugar, even if you are at a healthy weight, you may be able to lower your heart disease risk when you cuty back. 3.Healthier Teeth                    Sugars are the primary food source for the bacteria that

Fun Facts of Chemistry- part 1

Image
  You can die from drinking too much water. Radioactive and nuclear elements actually glow in the dark. Glass is not a solid – glass is a liquid. Helium is lighter than air. Water is one of the elements which expands while freezing and according to scientists, water takes up 9% more volume when frozen in comparison to its liquid state.  Oxygen is said to be colourless but that is only applicable for the gaseous form. The solid and the liquid form of oxygen appear to be blue. The most expensive element is californium, it is used in industries. Copper is the only element which is naturally Antibacterial. Cloud is actually made of tiny drops of liquid. When the droplets gather and become heavy, that's when rain falls. You need to exceed temperatures of 1000 degrees Celsius to burn a diamond.
