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

Chemistry

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

Polyatomic ions: CH_3COO^-, NO_3^-, NH^+, CN^-, Li^+, and OH^-

Monatomic ions: Ca^{2+, O^{2-, and Fe^{3+

<h3>Monoatomic vs Polyatomic Ions</h3>

In chemistry, monoatomic ions are ions that consist of only a single type of atom. They are usually positive or negatively charged and are otherwise known as simple ions. Examples include  Ca^{2+, O^{2-, and Fe^{3+

Polyatomic ions, on the other hand, are ions that consist of more than one atom, unlike monoatomic ions. The two or more atoms are covalently bonded and the entire structure behaves like a single chemical entity in reactions. Polyatomic ions are otherwise known as molecular ions.

Examples of polyatomic ions are  CH_3COO^-, NO_3^-, NH^+, CN^-, Li^+, and OH^-

Thus, from the diagram:

  • Polyatomic ions: CH_3COO^-, NO_3^-, NH^+, CN^-, Li^+, and OH^-
  • Monatomic ions: Ca^{2+, O^{2-, and Fe^{3+

450g of chromium(iii) sulfate reacts with excess potassium phosphate. How many grams of potassium sulfate will be produced? (ANS
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

600 g K₂SO₄

Explanation:

First write down the complete, balanced chemical equation for such question. In this case:

Cr₂(SO₄)₃ + 2K₃PO₄ →  3K₂SO₄ + 2CrPO₄

Next, calculate molar masses of required compounds mentioned in the question. In this case it is for Cr₂(SO₄)₃ and K₂SO₄.

  • Molar mass(MM) of Cr₂(SO₄)₃:

        = 2*(MM of Cr) + 3*( MM of S) + 3*4*( MM of O)

        = 2*(52) + 3*(32) + 12*(16)

        = 104 + 96 + 192

        = 392 g

  • Molar mass(MM) of K₂SO₄:

        = 2*(MM of K) + 1*( MM of S) + 4*( MM of O)

        = 2*(39) + 32 + 4*(16)

        = 78 + 32 + 64

        = 174 g

Here comes the concept of Limiting reagent:

The limiting reagent in a chemical reaction is the substance that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is complete. The amount of product formed is limited by this reagent, since the reaction cannot continue without it. The other reactants present with this are usually in excess and called excess reactants. If quantities of both the reactants are given, then one should apply unitary method and find out the limiting reagent out of the two. Then, determine the amount of product formed or percentage yield.

Also, 1 mole( 392 g) of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ gives 3 moles( 174*3 = 522 g) of K₂SO₄.

Using unitary method, if 392g of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ gives 522 g of K₂SO₄ , then 450 g of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ will give how much of K₂SO₄?

Yeild of K₂SO₄ : \frac{522 * 450}{392}

That is 599.3 g.

Since we have not considered molecular masses of individual atoms to 6 decimal places, this number can be approximated to 600g.

Therefore, 600g of K₂SO₄ is produced.
