Option C: The dissociation of a polar covalent compound in water.

Sugar is made up of sucrose molecules containing polar covalent bonds. They have same type of oxygen-hydrogen covalent bonds that are present in water.

Since, sugar is not an ionic compound, option a and option b are incorrect. Also, due to same type of bonding in water and sugar molecules there will be no such force of attraction between them, this will opt out the option d.

Thus, dissolution of sugar in water is the dissociation of a polar covalent compound in water and option c is correct.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option d. It is the strong pull of water molecules on a polar covalent compound that contributes <span>to the dissolution of sugar in water. Hope this answers the question. </span>

What effect does a high carbon level have on a deep ocean

oksian1 [2.3K]

Explanation:

High carbon concentration in the deep ocean means increased absorption of carbon to the atmosphere resulting to even greater and harmful amounts of carbon in the atmosphere. Therefore we need to keep a close eye of the deep ocean in the quest to monitor and pump out excess carbon from this part of marine life.

The element carbon continuously Cycles through an ecosystem. A simplified carbon cycle showing Step I, where organic molecules (

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Organic molecules in the form of carbohydrates are created during photosynthesis or chemosynthesis and these processes cause carbon to be removed from the atmosphere or other environment into the biosphere - the living organisms of the ecosystem.

During photosynthesis, atmospheric carbon dioxide is fixed as carbohydrates into green plants in a two-stage process that requires sunlight energy and water. The entire process can be summarized as an equation below:

$6CO_2 + 6H_2O + sunlight --> C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2$

Instead of using water as a reactant, chemosynthetic organisms make use of high energy chemicals such as hydrogen sulfide to fix carbon dioxide in order to generate carbohydrates.

$CO_2 + 4H_2S + O_2 -> CH_20 + 4S + 3H_2O$

Both processes ensure that carbon dioxide moves from the environment into living organisms.
