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

mer and more acidic?

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

If hydrochloric acid has a [H+] of 1.2 x 10-2 M, what is the pH?<br> 1.9<br> 0 1<br> 1.2<br> O<br> 8
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

<h2>1.9</h2>

Explanation:

The pH of a solution can be found by using the formula

pH = - log [ {H}^{+} ]

From the question we have

pH =  -  log(1.2 \times  {10}^{ - 2} )  \\  = 1.920818...

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.9</h3>

Hope this helps you

MrRissso [65]

The question is incomplete, complete question is :

The frequency factors for these two reactions are very close to each other in value. Assuming that they are the same, compute the ratio of the reaction rate constants for these two reactions at 25°C.

\frac{K_1}{K_2}=?

Activation energy of the reaction 1 ,Ea_1 = 14.0 kJ/mol

Activation energy of the reaction 2,Ea_1  = 11.9 kJ/mol

Answer:

0.4284 is the ratio of the rate constants.

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius equation,

K=A\times e^{\frac{-Ea}{RT}}

The expression used with catalyst and without catalyst is,

\frac{K_2}{K_1}=\frac{A\times e^{\frac{-Ea_2}{RT}}}{A\times e^{\frac{-Ea_1}{RT}}}

\frac{K_2}{K_1}=e^{\frac{Ea_1-Ea_2}{RT}}

where,

K_2 = rate constant reaction -1

K_1 = rate constant reaction -2

Activation energy of the reaction 1 ,Ea_1 = 14.0 kJ/mol = 14,000 J

Activation energy of the reaction 2,Ea_1  = 11.9 kJ/mol = 11,900 J

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/ mol K

T = temperature = 25^oC=273+25=298 K

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

\frac{K_1}{K_2}=e^{\frac{11,900- 14,000Jl}{8.314 J/mol K\times 298 K}}=2.3340

0.4284 is the ratio of the rate constants.

Draw the Lewis structure for BrCl3. What are the approximate bond angles about the central atom?
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

BrCl₃ is an interhalogen compound with a hybridization of sp³d. The approximate bond angles can be predicted from the structure (attached below). Although, the lewis structure might be predicted to be trigonal bipyramidal from the structure, it is however a T-shaped geometry because of it's two lone pairs.

Also, from the structure attached, it can be predicted that the approximate bond angles about the central atom is 120° (360 ÷ 3) since each of the three chlorine atoms is equally spaced about the central atom.
