The addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere takes place due to human activities like the burning of fossil fuels. The oceans play an essential role in maintaining the carbon cycle of the Earth in balance. With the elevation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, more absorption of carbon dioxide takes place by the oceans.  

In the ocean, carbon dioxide reacts with seawater to produce carbonic acid, this ultimately leads to an increase in acidity of seawater, also known as ocean acidification.  

With the increase in acidity, it becomes tougher for corals to construct skeletons and for shellfish and other creatures to manufacture the shells they require for protection. The corals are mainly essential as they offer habitation to various sea creatures.

An object with a height of 0.3 meter is placed at a distance of 0.4 meter from a concave spherical mirror. An image with a heigh
Sophie [7]

We can use the magnification equation for this problem.

Magnification equation:

<em>hi/h0 = di/d0</em>

Where in <em>hi </em>: image size, <em>h0</em> : object size, <em>di </em>: image distance, <em>d0 </em>: object distance from mirror

So plugging in the given variables we will have the corresponding equation

0.1 m / 0.3 m = <em>di / </em>0.4 m

<em>di</em> = 0.1333333m

The generated image of the object is located 0.13 meters or 13 cm away from the mirror

erastova [34]

Answer:

Alkenes, Markovnikov's, Alkenes, Alkyl halides, and less.

Explanation:

Alkenes must undergo addition because they have easily broken π bonds.

Markovnikov's rule states in the addition of HX to an unsymmetrical alkene, the H atom bonds to the less substituted carbon atom.

Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons because they have fewer than the maximum number of hydrogen atoms per carbon.

Alkyl halides have good leaving groups and therefore readily undergo substitution and elimination reactions.

In hydroboration, the boron atom bonds to the less substituted carbon.

Can someone please help me
Alona [7]

Answer:

Potassium iodide increases the decomposition rate of hydrogen peroxide.

Explanation:

Potassium iodide increases the decomposition rate of hydrogen peroxide because potassium iodide act as a catalyst. A catalyst speed up the process of chemical reaction without reacting with the molecules present in reaction. If the potassium iodide is not present as a catalyst for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide then the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide takes too much time because the catalyst is absent that speed up the reaction.
