4. They add pieces of calcium carbonate to the dilute hydrochloric acid and
Carbon dioxide is produced.

(c)
(i) State another reason why the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is
increasing.

Increasing combustion of fossil fuel (methane) [1]

(ii) Describe how this increase could be affecting the environment.

Global warming / increasing greenhouse effect which leads to

increasing in sea level and climate change [1]

5. (d) In the last one hundred years, the proportion of carbon dioxide in the air has
increased.
(i) State one reason for the increased amount of carbon dioxide.

- More fossil fuel burned

- Increase number of cars / deforestation [1]

(ii) State one reason why the increase in carbon dioxide may harm the environment.
