The process of absorption of carbon dioxide by the oceans is known as ocean acidification. This occurs when ocean water absorbs carbon dioxide and the carbon dioxide combines with water to form carbonic acid. This carbonic acid serves to increase the hydrogen ion concentration in the water, and therefore reduce the pH.

Increased ocean acidification is harmful for marine life, as marine animals can survive only in a small specific pH range.

Which of the following statements is correct?

I would say that children need adults to be responsible leaders. For example, my son has a developmental disability which means things must be done just so for him to feel comfortable. Yesterday, we wanted to meet up with my wife who was at the beach. He goes with me on the weekend to help him with his errands etc. So we went to her sports brella but she was swimming. So he wanted to go to the usual place he gets his fish and chips at another nearby place and also where he usually swims. So we left and went to that place. Then my wife called that where were we? So i said we will be back. So finally, once he got his food, I drove us back to meet my wife (instead of having him swim in his usual place). I was I believe using leadership so we could be together as a family and taking the chance that he would be okay with swimming at the other beach, and it worked out.

Explain how compaction is important in the formation of coal.
olchik [2.2K]

Coal is being formed from decayed fossils and remains. These materials are smashed, "compacted" together until their chemicals merge together from the pressure of the compacting this is also how diamonds form from coal just more heat and more pressure. This process is called compaction. Without such, no coal will be present.

The specific heat capacity of gold is 0.128 J/g C. How much would be needed to warm 250.0 grams of gold from 25.0 C to 100.0 C.
madam [21]

Answer:

3,200 joules

Explanation:

q = mcΔT = (250.0 g)(0.128 j/g°C)(100°C -25°C) = 3,200 joules

The following Lewis diagram represents the valence electron configuration of a main-group element. This element is in group 2A A
Paraphin [41]

<u>Answer:</u> The symbol of the ion formed is Ca^{2+}

<u>Explanation:</u>

An ion is formed when a neutral atom looses or gains electrons.

  • When an atom looses electrons, it results in the formation of positive ion known as cation.
  • When an atom gains electrons, it results in the formation of negative ion known as anion.

Electronic configuration is defined as the representation of electrons around the nucleus of an atom.

Number of electrons in an atom is determined by the atomic number of that atom.

The element present in Group 2-A and in period 4 is Calcium (Ca)

Electronic configuration of Ca atom:  1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2

This atom will loose 2 electrons to attain stable electronic configuration similar to Argon element (noble gas)

The electronic configration of Ca^{2+}\text{ ion}=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6

Hence, the symbol of the ion formed is Ca^{2+}

Determine the number of neutrons in an atom U-233.
alexdok [17]
We Know, Atomic number of Uranium = 92
Molar mass in given species = 233

Now, Molar mass = Number of Protons + Number of Neutrons
233 = 92 + x
x = 233 - 92
x = 141

So, your final answer is 141

Hope this helps!
