When the ocean absorbs co2 the ph of the ocean water drops. what's the effect of this process answers?

1 answer:

3 0

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.

If 850. mL of linseed oil has a mass of 620. g, calculate the density of linseed oil.

meriva

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.73 g/mL</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\$

From the question

mass = 620 g

volume = 850 mL

We have

$density = \frac{620}{850} \\ = 0.7294117647...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Which answer is correct for the question below? Why would number <br> Two be incorrect?

Lapatulllka [165]

It would be 4 because the graph is showing the impact of heat on the enzyme not the pH. The pH in this instant is the constant and the graph does not indicate what a change in pH would do, only what a change in temperature would do.

Predict the initial and isolated products for the reaction. The starting material is a 6 carbon chain where there is a triple bo

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

This reaction is known as mercuric ion catalyzed hydration of alkynes.

The first step in the reaction is attack of the mercuric ion on the carbon-carbon triple bond, a bridged intermediate is formed. This bridged intermediate is attacked by water molecule to give an organomercury enol. This undergoes keto-enol tautomerism, proton transfer to the keto group yields an oxonium ion, loss of the mercuric ion now gives equilibrium keto and enol forms of the compound. The keto form is favoured over the enol form.

Define the boiling and evaporation using kinetic theory

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

By the kinetic molecular theory (particle model), all matter consists of particles, there are spaces between the particles, the particles are in constant random motion, and there are forces of attraction and repulsion between the particles.

Furthermore, temperature is defined to be a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.

Evaporation is a change of phase from liquid to gas explained as follows :

When particles in the liquid phase are heated, they gain kinetic energy and move faster and further apart. Eventually they have enough energy to escape the forces of attraction holding them together in the liquid phase and they move very fast and far from each other and exist in the gaseous phase.
