There is absorption of carbon dioxide by the oceans through physicochemical (air-sea surface exchange) and biological processes. During physicochemical process, molecules of CO2 get into the ocean by diffusing into the sea surface waters and dissolving. Various factors such as wind, sea surface mixing, concentrations of CO2, and the temperature of the water influences the amount of CO2 that diffuses and dissolves in the ocean surface water. Also, during biological processes, dead cells, shells and other parts of dead organisms get decayed and releases carbon dioxide at the bottom of the water.

11. What is dynamic equilibrium?​
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Chemical reactions can either go in both directions (forward and reverse) or only in one direction. The ones that go in two directions are known as reversible reactions, and you can identify them by the arrows going in two directions, like the example below. 

H2O(l) ⇌ H+(aq) + OH-(aq)

Dynamic equilibrium only occurs in reversible reactions, and it’s when the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. These equations are dynamic because the forward and reverse reactions are still occurring, but the two rates are equal and unchanging, so they’re also at equilibrium.

Dynamic equilibrium is an example of a system in a steady state. This means the variables in the equation are unchanging over time (since the rates of reaction are equal). If you look at a reaction in dynamic equilibrium, it’ll look like nothing is happening since the concentrations of each substance stay constant. However, reactions are actually continuously occurring.
