Why is the increasing amount of carbon dioxide being taken up by the oceans a cause for concern?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anna007 [38]2 years ago
7 0

Answer;

-More carbon dioxide causes an increase in carbonic acid (H2CO3) which leads to a decrease in the concentration of carbonate ion (CO32-).

Explanation;

-Carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere whenever people burn fossil fuels. Oceans play an important role in keeping the Earth's carbon cycle in balance.

-As the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases, the oceans absorb a lot of it. In the ocean, carbon dioxide reacts with seawater to form carbonic acid which causes the acidity of seawater to increase.

-As long as we keep putting extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the acidity of the ocean will continue to increase. The effect is that; Increasing acidity makes it harder for corals to build skeletons and for shellfish to build the shells they need for protection. Corals are particularly important because they provide homes for many other sea creatures.

What is the mass of NaCl required to make 140 grams of a 12% solution of NaCl in water?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

C. 17 grams.

Explanation:

∵ mass % = [mass of solute/mass of solution] x 100.

mass of solute (NaCl) = ??? g & mass of solution = 140.0 g.

<em>∴ mass of NaCl = (mass %)(mass of solution)/100 </em>= (12.0)(140.0)/100 = <em>16.80 g ≅ 17.0 g.</em>

The activation energy of a certain uncatalyzed reaction is 64 kJ/mol. In the presence of a catalyst, the Ea is 55 kJ/mol. How ma
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

About 5 times faster.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the Arrhenius equation is considered for both the catalyzed reaction (1) and the uncatalized reaction (2), one determines the relationship between them as follows:

\frac{k_1}{k_2}=\frac{Aexp(-\frac{Ea_1}{RT} )}{Aexp(-\frac{Ea_2}{RT})}  \\\frac{k_1}{k_2}=\frac{exp(-\frac{Ea_1}{RT} )}{exp(-\frac{Ea_2}{RT})}

By replacing the corresponding values we obtain:

\frac{k_1}{k_2}=\frac{exp(-\frac{55000J/mol}{8.314J/molK*673.15K} )}{exp(-\frac{64000J/mol}{8.314J/molK*673.15K} )} =4.8

Such result means that the catalyzed reaction is about five times faster than the uncatalyzed reaction.

Best regards.

What is an energy transformation?
Dafna11 [192]
Energy is invisible yet it's all around us and throughout the universe. Energy can never be made or destroyed, but its form can be converted and changed.
While energy can be transferred or transformed, the total amount of energy does not change – this is called energy conservation.
Energy transformation, also known as energy conversion, is the process of changing energy from one form to another. In physics, energy is a quantity that provides the capacity to perform work or provides heat.
When energy is transformed from one form to another, or moved from one place to another, or from one system to another there is energy loss. This means that when energy is converted to a different form, some of the input energy is turned into a highly disordered form of energy, like heat. This consent is known as “hidden energy”.
