G in your own words, summarize the issue of ocean acidification: what is it and what's causing it?

Chemistry

AleksandrR [38]1 year ago
8 0

Ocean acidification refers to a reduction in the pH of the ocean over an extended period of time, caused primarily by the uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere.

Because of human-driven increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, there is more CO2 dissolving into the ocean. The ocean's average pH is now around 8.1, which is basic (or alkaline), but as the sea continues to absorb more CO2, the pH decreases and the ocean becomes more acidic.

How does ocean acidification affect us?

Ocean acidification can modify the abundance and chemical composition of harmful algal blooms in such a way that shellfish toxicity increases and, therefore, human health are negatively affected.

How we can reduce ocean acidification?

The most effective way to limit ocean acidification is to act on climate change, implementing solutions to dramatically reduce the use of fossil fuels. If we dramatically cut our global warming emissions, and we limit future warming, we can significantly reduce the harm to marine ecosystems.

Answer:

9.8ms^{-2}

Explanation:

using the equation :

acceleration = \frac{final  velocity - initial velocity}{timetaken} \\                      a  =\frac{v-u}{t}

where v is 98m/s

u is 0m/s

t is 10seconds

a=\frac{98m/s- 0m/s}{10} \\a=\frac{98}{10}\\ a=9.8m/s^{2}

Does the mass of water increase or decrease when it changes to ice
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The mass stays the same only volume changes, the volume decreases

Explanation:

The ice shrinks (decreases volume) and becomes more dense. The weight will not (and cannot) change.

What is [h3o ] in a solution of 0.075 m hno2 and 0.030 m nano2?
Tanya [424]
Answer is: concentration of hydrogenium ions is 9,54·10⁻⁵ M.
c(HNO₂) = 0,075 M.
c(NaNO₂) = 0,035 M.
Ka(HNO₂) = 4,5·10⁻⁵.
This is buffer solution, so use <span>Henderson–Hasselbalch equation:
pH = pKa + log(c(</span>NaNO₂) ÷ c(HNO₂)).
pH = -log(4,5·10⁻⁵) + log(0,035 M ÷ 0,075 M).
pH = 4,35 - 0,33.
pH = 4,02.
<span>[H</span>₃O⁺] = 10∧(-4,02).
<span>[H</span>₃O⁺] = 0,0000954 M = 9,54·10⁻⁵ M.

Consider the reversible reaction, A+B⇌C+D. If the concentration of product D is increased, the rate of the reverse reaction woul
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

If the concentration of product D is increased, the rate of the reverse reaction would increase.

Explanation:

Chemical reaction:

A + B ⇄ C + D

In given condition the equilibrium is disturb by increasing the concentration of product.

When the concentration of product D is increased the system will proceed in backward direction in order to regain the equilibrium. Because when the product concentration is high it means reaction is not on equilibrium state the reaction will proceed backward direction to regain the equilibrium state.

According to the Le- Chatelier principle,

At equilibrium state when stress is applied to the system, the system will behave in such a way to nullify the stress.

The equilibrium can be disturb,

By changing the concentration

By changing the volume

By changing the pressure

By changing the temperature
