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.

Airida [17]
This is because their tails are hydrophobic and their heads are hydrophilic. Hydrophobic meaning dislikes being near water and hydrophilic meaning likes to be near water. Therefore, they will orientate themselves in such a manner that the heads are facing externally and all the tails are facing together protected by the hydrophilic heads. google a photo of lipid chains in water if you are still confused. I'm not sure if that is what you are asking, but I hope it helps.

Kitty [74]
The number of energy levels to which an electron can jump depends on the amount of energy the electron possesses. Each energy level has a specific amount of energy an electron needs to have before it can be in there. So, if an electron doesn't have enough energy to be in that energy level then it won't jump to that higher level.

Answer:

2 water + sugar + lemon juice → 4 lemonade

Moles of water present in 946.36 g of water=\frac{946.36 g}{236.59 g/mol}=4 mol=

236.59g/mol

946.36g

=4mol

Moles of sugar present in 196.86 g of water=\frac{196.86 g}{225 g/mol}=0.8749 mol=

225g/mol

196.86g

=0.8749mol

Moles of lemon juice present in 193.37 g of water=\frac{193.37 g}{257.83 g/mol}=0.7499 mol=

257.83g/mol

193.37g

=0.7499mol

Moles of lemonade in 2050.25 g of water=\frac{2050.25 g}{719.42 g/mol}=2.8498 mol=

719.42g/mol

2050.25g

=2.8498mol

As we can see that number of moles of lemon juice are limited.

So, we will consider the reaction will complete in accordance with moles of lemon juice.

1 mole lemon juice reacts with 2 mol of water,then 0.7499 mol of lemon juice will react with:

\frac{2}{1}\times 0.7499 mol = 1.4998 mol

1

2

×0.7499mol=1.4998mol of water

Mass of water used = 1.4998 mol × 236.59 g/mol=354.8376 g

Water remained unused = 946.36 g - 354.8376 g =591.5223 g

1 mole lemon juice reacts with mol of sugar,then 0.7499 mol of lemon juice will react with:

\frac{1}{1}\times 0.7499 mol = 0.7499 mol

1

1

×0.7499mol=0.7499mol of water

Mass of sugar used = 0.7499 mol × 225 g/mol = 168.7275 g

Sugar remained unused = 196.86 g - 28.1325 g

1 mole of lemon juice gives 4 moles of lemonade.

Then 0.7499 mol of lemon juice will give:

\frac{4}{1}\times 0.7499 mol=2.996 mol

1

4

×0.7499mol=2.996mol of lemonade

Mass of lemonade obtained = 2.996 mol × 719.42 g/mol = 2157.9722 g

Theoretical yield of lemonade = 2157.9722 g

Experimental yield of lemonade = 2050.25 g

Percentage yield of lemonade:

\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{theoretical yield}}\times 100

theoretical yield

Experimental yield

×100

\frac{2050.25 g}{2157.9722 g}\times 100=95.00\%

2157.9722g

2050.25g

×100=95.00%
