Using the graph provided with the question, we are able to find that that for a concentration of 270 micromol per kilogram, the calcification rate is 20 mmol calcium carbonate per meter squared per day.

Using this calcification rate,
30 = 20 * 1 * days

days = 1.5

The deposition will require 1.5 days.

How does a chemical equation support the law of conservation of matter?
alukav5142 [94]
Matter cannot be created or destroyed in chemical reactions. This is the law of conservation of mass. In every chemical reaction, the same mass of matter must end up in the products as started in the reactants. Balanced chemical equations show that mass is conserved in chemical reactions.
