Is change in atmospheric co2 levels likely to impact marine life

Chemistry
1 answer:
Murljashka [212]3 years ago
4 0

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.

For the chemical equation SO 2 ( g ) + NO 2 ( g ) − ⇀ ↽ − SO 3 ( g ) + NO ( g ) the equilibrium constant at a certain temperatur
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Moles of NO₂ = 0.158

Explanation:

                         SO 2 ( g ) + NO 2 ( g ) ⇄  SO 3 ( g ) + NO ( g )

              According to the law of mass equation

                                     

                                       K_{c} = \frac{[SO_{3} ][NO]}{[SO_{2}][NO_{2}  ]}

                              ⇒   3.10 = \frac{(1.00)(1.00)}{(2.30) [NO_{2} ]}    At equilibrium [SO₃] = [NO]

                              ⇒ [NO₂] = \frac{1}{6.3}

                              ⇒ [NO₂] = 0.158

So. number of moles of NO₂ at equilibrium added = 0.158

When a beverage is “carbonated” what is happening? How does it affect the acidity?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

In addition, carbonated beverages may serve as an acid load and thus may raise gastric acid volume, leading to increased likelihood of gastro‐oesophageal reflux. Two studies have demonstrated that carbonated beverages can reduce the oesophageal pH < 4 and potentially cause GERD‐related symptoms.

Calculate the mass of 29.8 mL of aluminum, which has a density of 2.00 g/mL.
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>59.6 g </h2>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

<h3>mass = Density × volume</h3>

From the question

Density of aluminum = 2.00 g/mL

volume = 29.8 mL

The mass is

mass = 2 × 29.8

We have the final answer as

<h3>59.6 g</h3>

Hope this helps you

Which of the following samples will have the greatest volume at STP?
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Option b. 22 g of He will have the greatest volume at STP

Explanation:

In order to determine the volume, we apply the Ideal Gases Law equation:

P . V = n . R . T

V = n . R . T / P

R, T and P are the same in all the situation we must define n (number of moles).

The one that has the greatest number of moles will have the greatest volume at STP

22 g of Ne . 1mol / 20.1 g = 1.09 moles of Ne

22g of He . 1mol / 4 g = 5.5 moles of He

22 g of O₂ . 1mol / 32g = 0.68 moles of O₂

22 g of Cl₂ . 1mol / 70.9 g = 0.31 moles of Cl₂

Sawing a board in half is an example of a chemical change
koban [17]

Sawing a board in half is a physical change not a chemical change the board doesnt change wood or whatever material it is is still would still be wood
If it were burned it would be a chemical change but its properties stay the same atomically so thats why its not a chemical change.
