Answer:
The melting of the caps increases the concentration of CO2 in the water, making its absorption faster.

Explanation:
<h2><u>CO2 absorption</u><u> </u></h2>The polar caps of our planet have in their composition several elements, among them the CO2 that is absorbed by the atmosphere. Cold waters, which are present in the Arctic, have an easier time absorbing CO2 compared to other waters.
When glaciers melt, the CO2 that is present in the mixture is dissolved in the ocean, increasing its concentration. The cold waters that came from the ice caps increase the absorption of CO2.

The limiting reagent is Copper (Cu).
<u>Explanation:</u>
- To identify the limiting reactant., first balance the reaction.
The balanced equation is:
Cu + 2AgNO3 -----> Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag
- To find the limiting reactant, take the amount of initial substance and find the number of moles of one of the products. The reactant that gives a product with the least number of moles, is the limiting reactant
= 2.75 mol Cu.
Since there are only 2.50 mol Cu, copper is the limiting reactant, because, with that quantity of copper, only 2.50 mol AgNO3 will be reacted.
