Different Types of Electromagnetic Radiation Do Different “Things” to Molecule
![Page 6: Chapter 3 The Chemistry of Global Warming Sections 3.4 & 3.8-end.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649d435503460f94a1eaee/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Vibrations of Molecules
• Bond Stretching • Molecule Bending
It takes less energy to bend a molecule than stretch a bond.

Electronegativity- Measure of an atom’s attraction for the electrons it
shares in a covalent bond.

Infrared Spectrum of CO2
![Page 11: Chapter 3 The Chemistry of Global Warming Sections 3.4 & 3.8-end.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649d435503460f94a1eaee/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Infrared Spectrum of Water (H2O) Vapor
![Page 12: Chapter 3 The Chemistry of Global Warming Sections 3.4 & 3.8-end.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649d435503460f94a1eaee/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Greenhouse Gas Requirements
• Minimum of 2 atoms needed for stretching bonds– Two atoms must be different in order for
vibration to change the dipole moment of molecule
• Minimum of 3 atoms needed to bend a molecule
![Page 13: Chapter 3 The Chemistry of Global Warming Sections 3.4 & 3.8-end.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649d435503460f94a1eaee/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Why Argon, Ar, Can Not Be a Greenhouse Gas
1. Argon is in atomic form. Thus, there is no bond to another atom. So it can’t absorb IR to stretch a bond it doesn’t have.
2. Argon can’t absorb IR to bend a molecule since a minimum of 3 atoms is needed and it has only 1 atom.

Global Warming Potential – Represents the Relative Contribution a
Molecule Has in Global Warming
1. How Long a Molecule in the Troposphere/ Is There a Way to Remove Molecule From Troposphere?
2. Does the Molecule Absorb in the Window Region?
3. Amount of Molecule in the Troposphere

Increasing the GWP of a Greenhouse Gas
• When a different greenhouse gas absorbs in the window region of the IR spectrum; it will have a higher GWP
• *Biggest Effect
• The higher the tropospheric abundance; higher GWP
• The higher the lifetime of the molecule; higher GWP

• Use energy efficient appliances and light bulbs
• Plant trees (Cool house with shade trees)
• Use solar energy to heat household as much as possible

A major point of disagreement of the Kyoto Protocol isthat developing countries do not have to cut emissions as much as developed countries.
Greenhouse gas emissions are expected to increase faster in developing rather than developed countries

Determining the Amount of CO2 Produced by Burning Gasoline or Coal
1. Look at balanced chemical equation to determine the ratio of CO2 produced for burning each fuel.
![Page 52: Chapter 3 The Chemistry of Global Warming Sections 3.4 & 3.8-end.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649d435503460f94a1eaee/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Determining the Amount of CO2 Produced by Burning Gasoline or Coal
2. Determine the molar mass of fuel and CO2 to set up appropriate ratio.
Molar Mass (Carbon dioxide, CO2) = molar mass C + 2 (molar mass O)
Molar Mass coal 2 = molar mass C
Ratio = (molar mass CO2/ molar mass C)
![Page 53: Chapter 3 The Chemistry of Global Warming Sections 3.4 & 3.8-end.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649d435503460f94a1eaee/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Determining the Amount of CO2 Produced by Burning Gasoline or Coal
3. Convert amount of fuel to grams and use ratio to calculate mass of CO2 produced.
