Answer:

Calcium phosphorous

Explanation:

First, this compound is a mixture of the following elements:

Ca: Calcium

P: Phosphor

Now, both of these elements are united as a binary compound, the metal and a non metal. When we have a binary compound with a metal and non metal, (When the non metal is not hydrogen or oxygen) this usually becomes a salt. A bynary salt. So a binary salt, we should name like this

In this, we should name first the metal and then the non metal with the sufije ous. In this case:

Calcium phosphorous.

Then the name of this salt is that.

What would happen to the annual rates of limestone (CaCO3) precipitation in the ocean if the ocean water were to become much war
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

CaCO3 exoskeleton dissolves in acidic water

Explanation:

The increasing CO2 level makes the ocean water acidic and hence reduces the pH. In such acidic environment, marine organism that produce calcium carbonate shells or skeletons are negatively affected. Coral reefs and coralline algae abilities to produce skeleton also reduces.  

Calcium carbonate dissolves in acid. Thus, the more acidic the ocean water is the faster and easier it is to dissolve the exoskeleton and shell of marine organisms made up of calcium carbonate
