Answer;
-More carbon dioxide causes an increase in carbonic acid (H2CO3) which leads to a decrease in the concentration of carbonate ion (CO32-).
Explanation;
-Carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere whenever people burn fossil fuels. Oceans play an important role in keeping the Earth's carbon cycle in balance.
-As the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases, the oceans absorb a lot of it. In the ocean, carbon dioxide reacts with seawater to form carbonic acid which causes the acidity of seawater to increase.
-As long as we keep putting extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the acidity of the ocean will continue to increase. The effect is that; Increasing acidity makes it harder for corals to build skeletons and for shellfish to build the shells they need for protection. Corals are particularly important because they provide homes for many other sea creatures.
Sodium is the reducing agent because a reducing agent is always the donor of electrons.
Partial pressure of gas A is 1.31 atm and that of gas B is 0.44 atm.
The partial pressure of a gas in a mixture can be calculated as
Pi = Xi x P
Where Pi is the partial pressure; Xi is mole fraction and P is the total pressure of the mixture.
Therefore we have Pa = Xa x P and Pb = Xb x P
Let us find Xa and Xb
Χa = mol a/ total moles = 2.50/(2.50+0.85) = 2.50/3.35 = 0.746
Xb = mol b/total moles = 0.85/(2.50+0.85) = 0.85/3.35 = 0.254
Total pressure P is given as 1.75 atm
Pa = Xa x P = 0.746 x 1.75 = 1.31atm
Partial pressure of gas A is 1.31 atm
Pb = Xb x P = 0.254 x 1.75 = 0.44atm
Partial pressure of gas B is 0.44 atm.
