One of the many awe-inspiring things about algae, Professor Greene explains, is that they can grow between ten and 100 times faster than land plants. In view of this speedy growth rate – combined with the fact they can thrive virtually anywhere in the right conditions – growing marine microalgae could provide a variety of solutions to some of the world’s most pressing problems.

Take, global warming. Algae sequesters CO2, as we have learned, but owing to the fact they grow faster than land plants, can cover wider areas and can be utilised in bioreactors, they can actually absorb CO2 more effectively than land plants. AI company Hypergiant Industries, for instance, say their algae bioreactor was 400 times more efficient at taking in CO2 than trees.

And it’s not just their nutritional credentials which could solve humanity’s looming food crisis, but how they are produced. Marine microalgae grow in seawater, which means they do not rely on arable land or freshwater, both of which are in limited supply. Professor Greene believes the use of these organisms could therefore release almost three million km2 of cropland for reforestation, and also conserve one fifth of global freshwater

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{4 m $\cdot$ s$^{-2}$}}

Explanation:

F = ma

a = \dfrac{F}{m} = \dfrac{\text{20 N}}{\text{5 kg}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kg$\cdot$ m $\cdot$ s$^{-2}$}}{\text{1 N}} = \text{4 m $\cdot$ s$^{-2}$}\\\\\text{The acceleration of the object is } \boxed{\textbf{4 m $\cdot$ s$^{\mathbf{-2}}$}}

To name the compound written as CuCl2, you would write:
vovangra [49]

Answer: option C. Copper (II) chloride

Explanation:

To name CuCl2, we need to know the oxidation state of Cu in the compound as chlorine always have oxidation on —1 in all its compound. The oxidation state of Cu can be calculated as follows:

Cu + 2Cl = 0 (since the compound has no charge)

Cl = —1

Cu + 2(—1) = 0

Cu —2 = 0

Collect like terms

Cu = 0 +2

Cu = +2

Therefore, the oxidation state of Cu in CuCl2 is +2.

The name of the compound will be copper(ii) chloride, since cupper has oxidation state +2 in the compound.
