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

Chemistry

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.

| A solution containing 4.48 ppm KMnO4 exhibits
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Molar absorptivity or molar extinction co-effecient = 2120.14 cm⁻¹M⁻¹

Explanation:

First convert Concentration from ppm inM or mol/l

⇒ Molar mass of KMnO₄ = 158.03 g

⇒ 4.48 ppm = 4.48 mg/l = 4.48 x 10⁻³ g/l

⇒ Molarity = \frac{4.48 X10^{-3} }{158.03X 1(lit)} = 2.83 x 10⁻⁵ molar

Absorbance (A) = - log(T)     ( T = % transmittance)

                          = - log(0.859)

                          = 0.06

According to Lambert Beer's law

     

                 ε = \frac{A}{C X l}

      or,      ε = \frac{0.06}{2.83 X 10^{-5}X1 cm }

      or,      ε = 2120.14 cm⁻¹M⁻¹

Where

    ε = Molar absorptivity

    A = absorbance

    C = Molar concentration of KMnO₄ solution

     l = length
