This mabye? The atmosphere is the thick layer of gaseous material which surrounds the Earth. Most of the atmosphere lies within 97 km of the Earth’s surface, but it has no definite boundary. The atmosphere is divided into four layers, theTroposphere (0-10 km altitude), the Stratosphere (10-45 km altitude), the Mesosphere (45-80 km altitude), and the Thermosphere (80-300 km altitude). The atmosphere comprises: 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.039% carbon dioxide and very small amounts of other gases. These gases are often termed ‘greenhouse gases’ as they are delicately balanced to maintain the Earth’s temperature at a level suitable to sustain life. Without these gases, and the natural greenhouse effect, the average temperature of the Earth would be approximately -18°C (0°F) instead of its current 14°C (57°F) (see NOAA). Earth is one of the few planets in the solar system which has an atmosphere. Venus, one of our closest neighbours has an atmosphere made of 96.5% carbon dioxide (CO2) and 3.5% nitrogen (N2), which forms a very toxic atmosphere, allowing it to maintain a sweltering surface temperature of 467°C!

The lithosphere is the term given to the rock and minerals which form Earth’s outer crust and its tectonic plates. This is an important part of the Earth’s system as these rocks become eroded and weathered to provide important minerals to the other Earth systems. Through Earth’s history, the entire lithosphere has been recycled approximately six times. At the outermost layer of the lithosphere, the ‘pedosphere’ (meaning soil sphere) exists at the interface between lithospheric, atmospheric, biospheric and hydrospheric processes. The combination of these processes leads to soil formation, which is essential for sustaining life on Earth (the biosphere).

The biosphere refers to all types of life on Earth, including plants, animals, and bacteria. Over the history of the Earth the biosphere has changed considerably with a great number of species evolving, adapting, and becoming extinct. The diversity of the biosphere varies greatly across the Earth, as species can be highly vulnerable to even minor variations in climate. A slight change in air temperature or moisture, for example, can alter the type of vegetation (flora) which is able to grow in a given location. This may in turn affect the distribution of animals (fauna) as they move or adapt in tune with vegetation availability.

Benzonitrile (c6h5cn) is reduced to two different products depending on the reducing agent used. treatment with lithium aluminum hydride followed by water forms k, which has a molecular ion in its mass spectrum at 107 and the following ir absorptions: 3373, 3290, 3062, 2920, and 1600 cm-1. treatment with a milder reducing agent forms l, which has a molecular ion in its mass spectrum at 106 and the following ir absorptions: 3086, 2850, 2820, 2736, 1703, and 1600 cm-1. l shows fragments in its mass spectrum at m/z = 105 and 77. propose structures for k and l and choose an explanation for how this could be concluded.

Can anyone explain 1. review your spectrometry data and use the known elements to identify the star's composition. which unknown elements make up this star? justify your element selections. 2. in parts i and ii of the lab, what happened to the electrons of each element to produce the different colors of light? explain your answers using important terms from the lesson and information provided in the laboratory. 3. stars composed of heavier (more massive) elements are often slightly older than stars made predominantly from hydrogen and helium. based on your data, is the newly discovered star a younger star? explain your answer.
