Chemistry
1 answer:
AlekseyPX3 years ago
3 0
Basically the theory centers on the idea that an atom of iron dumped into the sea results in the conversion of 10,000 molecules of carbon dioxide to carbohydrates. John Martin's hypothesis is that the growth of phytoplankton is limited by the amount of iron dissolved in sea water. Lab experiments done by him then showed that indeed, adding a small amount of iron accelerated the growth of plankton.

What would diluting the vinegar do to the rate of a reaction between vinegar and sodium hydroxide? decrease the rate of reaction
GarryVolchara [31]
Vinegar is aceti acid diluted in water.

The reaction of vinegar with sodium hydroxide is:

CH3COOH + NaOH ---> CH3COONa + H2O

That is an acid-base reaction.

The speed of reaction is proportional to the concentrations of the reactants.

Then, given thatn when you dilute the vinegar you decrease the concentration of CH3COOH, the rate of reaction will decrease.
