Human activities have a tremendous impact on the carbon cycle. Burning fossil fuels, changing land use, and using limestone to make concrete all transfer significant quantities of carbon into the atmosphere. ... This extra carbon dioxide is lowering the ocean's pH, through a process called ocean acidification.
Answer:
Weak bonds require less energy to form than strong bonds
Explanation:
According to Coulomb's law, the force between two species is inversely proportional to the distance between them. That said, the bigger the atoms are, the greater the bond length should be to form a molecule.
As a result, for a greater bond length, the attraction force is lower than for a shorter bond length. This implies that large atoms would form weak bonds and small atoms would form strong bonds.
Bond energy is defined as the amount of energy required to break the bond. If a bond is weak, it would require a low amount of energy to break it. This is also true for energy of formation, as it's the same process taking place in the opposite direction.
Solute is what gets dissovled, in this case the salt, and the solVENT is whatever a material is dissolved into, in this case the water.
