    This document summarizes information about greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), including their properties, sources, and how to reduce global warming. It also discusses photosynthesis. Specifically, it notes that (1) CO2 and CH4 absorb energy from the Earth and prevent it from escaping, (2) the main sources of CO2 are combustion, respiration, and decomposition, while the main sources of CH4 are waste gases from animals and natural gas, and (3) ways to reduce global warming include planting trees, reducing livestock farming, decreasing fossil fuel use, and using hydrogen and renewable energy.

    6
    Greenhouse gases CO₂ & CH₄ CO₂ CH₄
    They absorb energy from earth & prevent energy from escaping
    Colorless, odorless gas Colorless, odorless gas
    Insoluble in water Slightly soluble in water
    Properties
    Denser than air Lighter than air
    Global warming Doesn't burn, puts off fire Burns in air

    1. Melting ice caps Fire extinguisher Fuel


    Uses MaKing organic chemicals
    Fizzy drinks, dry ice
    2. Extreme weather
    3. Flooding Combustion, Respiration
    acid + MCO₃, Fermentation, Decomposition of vegetation
    4. Temperature increase Sources Thermal decomposition of Waste gases from animals
    MCO₃, Natural gas is methane
    5. Habitat loss
    MO + C → M + CO₂

    How to reduce global warming

    Photosynthesis
    1. Plant trees
    Sunlight
    2. Reduce livestock Farming 6CO₂ + 6H₂O > C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
    3. Decrease use of Fossil Fuels Chlorophyll

    4. Use H₂ & renewable energy (solar, wind)


    • Chlorophyll is the catalyst for the reaction
    • Photosynthesis reaction is endothermic, because it required energy from the
    Uses of CH₄
    sun
    1. As a fuel • Photosynthesis is a photochemical reaction
    2. Making organic chemicals • Respiration is the opposite of photosynthesis and is exothermic
