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.

What caused wind to blow
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Different atmospheric pressure. When there is a different atmospheric pressure, air moves from the higher pressure to the lower pressure area which results in what you call <u>WIND</u> but can result in various speeds and pressure.

Hope this helped and if it did, please give my answer a brainliest.

Calculate the percent yield when 500 grams of carbon dioxide react with an excess of water to produce 640 grams of carbonic acid
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Percent yield =  90.5%

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of carbon dioxide = 500 g

Mass of water = excess

Actual yield of carbonic acid = 640 g

Percent yield = ?

Solution:

Balanced chemical equation:

CO₂ + H₂O  → H₂CO₃

Number of moles of carbon dioxide

Number of moles  = Mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 500 g/ 44 g/mol

Number of moles = 11.4 mol

Now we will compare the moles of H₂CO₃ with CO₂.

                              CO₂          :              H₂CO₃

                                 1             :                  1

                               11.4           :                11.4

Mass of carbonic acid:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 11.4 mol × 62.03 g/mol

Mass = 707.14 g

Percent yield:

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100

Percent yield =  640 g/ 707.14 g × 100

Percent yield =  90.5%
