Because of ocean acidification, it is expected that in 2050 the mass of CaCO3 deposited annually in coral reefs will be 20% less

than is deposited currently. Calculate how much less CaCO3 in Kg is expected to be deposited in 2050 than would be deposited if ocean water pH were to remain at its current value.

Question is incomplete (See complete question below).

Given that the current annual global increase in mass of CaCO3 in Coral reefs is 1.5*10^12 kg/year. Because of ocean acidification, it is expected that in 2050 the mass of CaCO3 deposited annually in coral reefs will be 20% less than is deposited currently. Calculate how much less CaCO3 in Kg is expected to be deposited in 2050 than would be deposited if ocean water pH were to remain at its current value.

Answer:

Expected deposited weight is 3 * 10^11 kg

Explanation:

Given

Weight = 1.5 * 10^12 kg/year

Percentage less = 20%

Provided that the pH of the ocean water were to remain at its current value, the expected weight of CaCO3 is calculated as follows;

% less * weight.

Substitute in the values;

20% * 1.5 * 10^12 kg

= 0.2 x 1.5 x 10^12 kg

= 3 * 10^11 kg

Hence, the expected deposited weight is 3 * 10^11 kg

If the concentration of a sugar solution is lower outside the cell than inside the cell which will happen by osmosis?. A.Sugar w
lys-0071 [83]

Answer: option C.Water will move into the cell

Explanation:

1) Start by analyzing what the statement means in terms of relative concentrations:

------------------------ | inside the cell ------------ | outside the cell |

sugar --------------- | higher ----------------------- | lower ------------- |

water -------------- | lower ------------------------- | higher ------------ |

2) Osmosis is the process where a barrier (the celll membrane) permits the pass of some component and not others.

The component that can pass is that whose particles are smaller. Sugar molecules (the solute) are bigger than water molecules (the solvent), so sugar molecules cannot pass the cell membrane. Only water can.

3) The driviing force for the motion of water molecules is called diffusion. The diffusion occurs from higher concentrations to lower concentrations.

Hence, the water molecules will from outside the outiside the cell, where they have the greater concentration, toward the inside of the cell, where water hasa the lower concentration.

As result, the water will move into the cell, which is the option C.

A measure of the kinetic energy of particle motion within a substance is _____.
Irina18 [472]

All particles (atoms and molecules) of matter have kinetic energy because they are always in motion.

A measure of the kinetic energy of particle motion within a substance is temperature. If the particles move faster, they have more kinetic energy, and the substance has a higher temperature

What causes objects to move or stay still?<br> Claim <br><br> Reasoning:<br><br> Evidence:
kari74 [83]

Answer:

For an object to move, there must be a force. A force is a push or pull that causes an object to move, change direction, change speed, or stop. Without a force, an object that is moving will continue to move and an object at rest will remain at rest.
