### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Greenhouse Effect**: - The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth's surface. It occurs when the Sun's energy reaches the Earth, and some of this energy is reflected back to space, while the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases. 2. **Human Activities Contributing to Global Warming**: - Indiscriminate human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, have increased the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, thereby strengthening the greenhouse effect and leading to global warming. ...

CO_2 and H_2 O absorbs strongly in the infrared region and its presence in the atmosphere decreases the loss of heat from the earth by radiation . This global warming is called the greenhouse effect (other gases , including the oxides of nitrogen from car exhaust freons from aerosols and refrigerators and methane from bacteria in the soil and in the rumen cows , also add to the greenhouse effect ). The concentration of atmospheric CO_2 has increased by 10% . The is resulting in the increase in the mean temperature of the earth by 2. 5^@ C , varying form 2^@ C the equator to 4^@ C at the poles . This could have dramatic effects on the climate. Which of the following is growing at a faster rate than CO_2 and thus responsible for the greenhouse effect ?

CO_2 and H_2 O absorbs strongly in the infrared rrgion and its presence in the atmospheere dectrases the loss fo heat form the enrth by radistiion . This global warming is called the greenhouse effect (other gases , including the oxides of nitraongen form car exhauset freons from aerosols and refrigeratirs and methane from bacteria in the soil and in the rument cows , also add to the reeenhouse effect ). The concentration fo atmospheric CO_2 has increased by 10% . The is rsulting in the increase in the mean temperature fo the earth by 2. 5^@ C , varying form 2^@ C t the equlator to 4^@ C at the poles . This could have dramatic effects on the climate. Instead of monitoring carbon dioxide suggest another gas that scientists could studey to substantiate the fact that CO_2 conentration is steadily increasing in the atmosphere ?

The equilibrium constant (K_(p)) for the reaction 2CO_((g))underset(larr)(rarr)2CO_(2(g)) is 1.4xx10^(90) at 25^(@)C . Given this enormous value, why does not CO convert totally into CO_(2) in the troposphere?.
