Why do scientists think there is an undiscovered carbon sink somewhere?

The major carbon sources (reservoirs that release more carbon than absorbed) are: deforestation and fossil fuels

The major carbon sinks (reservoirs that absorb more carbon than released) are:
soil, oceans and plants.

When scientists calculate the amount of carbon dioxide is returned to the atmosphere vs the released the amount of carbon, a large amount is unaccounted for and the total does not add up. This is why scientists believe there is an undiscovered carbon sink somewhere.

What are the components of an electromagnet and how do they get connected?
Dmitriy789 [7]
Well I'm sure many a time you've seen on some science experiment someone wrap a copper wire around a nail well thats generally the idea for electromagnets you get a solid piece of iron which is the only metal that is magnetic and you wrap a copper wire around it and the idea is to make two opposing magnetic poles by aligning the molecules with a electrical charge (a battery) so now with all three pieces assembles you have a copper wire attached to two sides of a battery and wrapped around a nail

Question 9 (1 point)
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

8 moles of C

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following equation was obtained:

3A + 2B —> 6C

From the equation above,

3 moles of A reacted to produce 6 moles of C.

Thus, the number of mole of C produced by reacting 4 moles of A can be obtained as follow:

From the equation above,

3 moles of A reacted to produce 6 moles of C.

Therefore, 4 moles of C will react to produce = (4 × 6)/3 = 8 moles of C

Thus, 8 moles of C can be obtained from the reaction of 4 moles of A with excess B
