The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the effects of the greenhouse effect, we will analyze each option one by one: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyzing Option A:** - The greenhouse effect leads to an increase in the Earth's temperature. - As the temperature rises, the rate of evaporation of water also increases. - This increased evaporation can lead to more moisture in the atmosphere, resulting in more rainfall. - Consequently, this can cause flooding in certain areas. - **Conclusion:** Option A is correct. 2. **Analyzing Option B:** - The rise in temperature due to the greenhouse effect can create conditions that are more favorable for tropical storms. - Warmer ocean waters can lead to more intense storms, making certain regions more prone to tropical storms. - **Conclusion:** Option B is also correct. 3. **Analyzing Option C:** - The greenhouse effect is associated with an increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere. - CO2 can dissolve in water to form carbonic acid (H2CO3). - When this carbonic acid falls to the ground (through rain), it can lead to a decrease in the pH of the soil, making it more acidic. - **Conclusion:** Option C is correct. 4. **Analyzing Option D:** - This option states that there is an increase in the pH of the soil. - However, as explained in Option C, the presence of carbonic acid from dissolved CO2 actually decreases the pH of the soil. - **Conclusion:** Option D is incorrect. ### Final Answer: The correct options are A, B, and C.

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 ?

100mL of buffer of 1 M NH_(3)(aq) and 1 M NH_(4)^(o+)(aq) are placed in two compartments of a voltaic cell separately. A current of 1.5A is passed through both cells for 20 m i n . If only electrolysis of water takes place, then (a) ph of LHE half cell will increase (b) pH of RHE half cell will increase (c) pH of both half cell will increase (d) pH of both half cell will decrease

Le Chatelier's Principle If a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change of any one of the factors such as concentration, pressure or temperature, the system adjusts itself in such a way as to nullify the effect of that change. Change of pressure : If a system consists of gases, then the concentration of all the components can be alterd by changing the pressure. To increase the pressure on the system,the volume has to be decreased proportionally. The total number of mols per unit volume will now be more and the equilibrium will shift in the direction in which there is a decrease in number of moles i,e. towards the direction in which there can be decrease in pressure. Effect of pressure on melting point : There are two types of solids: (a) Solids whose volume decreases on melting e.g., ice,diamond carborundum magnesium nitride and quratz. Solids (higher volume) hArr Liquid (lower volume) The process of melting is facilitated at high pressure, thus, melting point is lowerd. (b) Solids whose volume increase on melting e.g.,Fe,Cu,Ag,Au,etc. Solid (lower volume) hArr Liquid (higher volume) In this case the process of melting become difficult at high pressure, thus melting point becomes high. (c) Solubility of substances : When solid substances are dissolved in water, either heat is evolved (exothermic) or heat is absorbed (endothermic). KCI+aqhArrKCI(aq)-heat In such cases, solubility increase with increase in temperature. Consider the case of KOH, when this is dissolved,heat is evolved. KOH+aqhArrKOH(aq)+heat In such cases, solubility decrease with increase in temperature. (d) Solubility of gases in liquids : When a gas dissolves in liquid,there is decrease in volume. Thus increase of pressure will favour the dissolution of gas in liquid. A gas 'X' when dissolved in water,heat is evolved. Then solubility of 'X' will increase:

The periodicity is related to the electronic configuration. That is, all chemical and physical properties are a manifestation of the electronic configuration of the elements. The atomic and ionic radii generally decrease in a period from left to right. As a consequence, the ionization enthalpies generally increase and electron gain enthalpies become more negative across a period. In other words, the ionization enthalpy of the exterme left element in a period is the least and teh electron gain enthalpy of the element on the exterme right is the highest negative. This results into high chemical reactivity at the two extermes and the lowest in he centre. Similarly down the group, the increase in atomic and ionic radii result in gradual decrease in ionization enthalpies and a regular decrease (with exception in some third period elements) in electron gain enthalpies in the case of main group elements. The loss and gain of electrons can be co-related with the reducting and oxidising behaviour, and also with metallic and non-metallic character respectively, of the elements. Considering the elements B, C, N, F and Si , the correct order of their non-metallic character is:

The human ciculatory system can be thought of as a closed system of interconnecting pipes through which fluid is continuously circulated by two pumps the two pumps the right and left verticles of the heart, work as simple two-stroke force pumps. The muscles of the heart regulate the force by contracting and relaxing. the contraction (systole) lasts about 0.2s and a complete systole/diastole (contraction/relaxation) cycle lasts about 0.8s. For flood pressures and speeds in the normal range. the volume flow rate of blood through a blood vessel is directly proportional tot he pressure difference over a length of the vessel and to the fourth power of the radius of the vessel. The total mechanical energy per unit volume of blood just as it leaves the heart is E//V=rhogh+P+rhov^(2) Q. Why is diastolic blood pressure muchh lower than systolic pressure? A. because the heart exerts more force on the blood during diastole B. Because the heart exerts no force on the blood during diastole C. Because the radii of the blood vessels increase during diastole while the force exerted by the heart on the blood remains the same. D. Because the radii of the blood vessels increase during diastole while the force exerted by the heart on the blood remains the same.

The small size and high charge of Al^(3+) ion gives it a high charge density which is responsible for its tendency to show (a) covalency in its compounds in the gaseous state (b) high hydration energy which stabilizes its compounds in solution, and (c) high lattice energy of its compounds in the solid state. Thus aluminium can forms both covalent and ionic bond. Like halides of boron, halides of aluminium do not show back bonding because of increase in size of aluminium. Actually aluminium atoms complete their octets by forming dimers. Thus chloride and bromide of aluminium exist as dimers, both in the vapour state and in polar-solvents like benzene while the corresponding boron halides exists as monomer. In boron trihalides the extent of back bonding decreases with increases with increase in size of halogens and thus lewis acid character increases. All BX_(3) are hydrolysed by water but BF_(3) shows a different behaviour. Which of the following statements about anhydrous aluminium chloride is correct ?
