How do chaetoceros contribute to global atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide levels?

Chemistry

Brums [2.3K]3 years ago
3 0

Chaetoceros is planktonic diatoms and known to be the largest genus with 400 described species. It has a cell wall made up of silica containing long thin spins. These spines connect the cell walls together to form a colony of cells.

Due to its high rate of growth and high lipid concentration, they can be used as bio fuel. Colonies of chaetoceros act as an important food source inside the water and they are major contributor of carbon.

In north water, they contribute 91% of the total phytoplankton cells thus acting as an important producer in the area. This contributes to the production of oxygen in north water. Total phytoplankton contributes to half of the oxygen production of Earth.

In this way, chaetoceros contribute to global atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide levels.

Give the correct balanced equation for the single replacement reaction of magnesium with aluminum oxide. A) Mg + AlO → MgO + Al
solniwko [45]
Answer is "C".

<em><u>Explanation
</u></em>

Single replacement reaction is a type of reaction which one reactant reacts with another and makes a product by replacing one element by another. 

Mg (Magnesium) reacts with Al₂O₃ (Aluminium oxide) and produces MgO (Magnesium oxide) and Al (Aluminium) as products. Here Al is replaced by Mg. Reaction is 
             Mg + Al₂O₃ → MgO + Al

To balance the reaction equation, both left and right hand sides should have same number of atoms in each element.
Here, 
 <em>Left Hand Side has </em>                                            <em>Right Hand Side has</em>
   Mg = 1 atom                                                         Mg = 1 atom
   Al = 2 atom                                                           Al = 1 atom
   O = 3 atom                                                           O = 1 atom

First step : balance the O atoms in both sides. To do that "3" should be added before MgO. 

Second step : After balancing O atoms, there will be 3 Mg atoms in right hand side. Hence to balance Mg atoms again "3" should be added before Mg in left hand side

Third step : as the final step balance the Al atoms by adding "2" before Al in the right hand side.

Then final balanced equation should be 
              3Mg + Al₂O₃ → 3MgO + 2Al
