Question
In The proportions of different gases in the atmosphere, which option helps you apply the idea to an exam scenario: Recall that the Earth's atmosphere contains small proportions of other gases including carbon dioxide, water vapour and noble gases?
Answer
The correct option is . For this application question, that option is correct because it matches Recall that the Earth's atmosphere contains small proportions of other gases including carbon dioxide, water vapour and noble gases in The proportions of different gases in the atmosphere.
Explanation
is the correct answer for this AQA GCSE Chemistry atmosphere question. Pick the answer that would earn marks in a GCSE Chemistry response. The learning objective is: Recall that the Earth's atmosphere contains small proportions of other gases including carbon dioxide, water vapour and noble gases. In The composition and evolution of the Earth's atmosphere, this means the explanation must use the subtopic The proportions of different gases in the atmosphere and avoid drifting into a different gas, pollutant, climate, or early-atmosphere idea. Checkpoint 15: this page uses the application angle so students can practise one distinct reasoning route before moving to the next question.
Common mistake
Common Mistake in Gas Proportions
Students often confuse the proportions of carbon dioxide and noble gases in the atmosphere, thinking noble gases are more abundant.
Remember that noble gases are present in very small amounts compared to carbon dioxide, which is also a minor component but more significant than noble gases.
