Answer:

Ocean acidification can negatively affect marine life, causing organisms' shells and skeletons made from calcium carbonate to dissolve.

Explanation:the more acidic the ocean, the faster the shells dissolve.

Calculate the mass of magnesium carbonate ( MgCO3), in grams, required to produce 110.0 g of carbon dioxide using the following

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

$210.7~g~MgCO_3$

Explanation:

We have to start with the reaction:

$MgCO_3~->~MgO~+~CO_2$

We have the same amount of atoms on both sides, so, we can continue. The next step is to find the number of moles that we have in the 110.0 g of carbon dioxide, to this, we have to know the atomic mass of each atom:

C: 12 g/mol

O: 16 g/mol

Mg: 23.3 g/mol

If we take into account the number of atoms in the formula, we can calculate the molar mass of carbon dioxide:

$(12*1)+(16*2)=44~g/mol$

In other words: $1~mol~CO_2=~44~g~CO_2$ . With this in mind, we can calculate the moles:

$110~g~CO_2\frac{1~mol~CO_2}{44~g~CO_2}=25~mol~CO_2$

Now, the molar ratio between carbon dioxide and magnesium carbonate is 1:1, so:

$2.5~mol~CO_2=2.5~mol~MgCO_3$

With the molar mass of $MgCO_3$ ( $(23.3*1)+(12*1)+(16*3)=84.3~g/mol$ . With this in mind, we can calculate the grams of magnesium carbonate:

$2.5~mol~MgCO_3\frac{84.3~g~MgCO_3}{1~mol~MgCO_3}=210.7~g~MgCO_3$

I hope it helps!

Define the law of conservation of charge and provide an example.

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Conservation of Charge is the principle that the total electric charge in an isolated system never changes. The net quantity of electric charge, the amount of positive charge minus the amount of negative charge in the universe, is always conserved.

Mendeleev is the scientist who first developed

Schach [20]

Dmitri Mendeleev is the scientist who first developed the periodic table.

He is a Russian chemist and inventor who formulated the periodic law and created the periodic table of elements. He corrected some of the properties of the elements. Now, we can easily locate the elements we wanted to identify. With the help of Mendeleev, studying chemistry is not that difficult because he tried to simplify some of the concept that was complex before.

How do the atmosphere conditions near the beginning of Precambrian time contrast with the atmosphere conditions that are present

babunello [35]

The early precambrian atmosphere consisted primarily of nitrogen and carbon dioxide with almost no oxygen.

Today, the atmosphere contains about 20% oxygen, less carbon dioxide and similar amounts of nitrogen. 

Photosynthetic green-leaf plants and trees are largely responsible for the change, converting carbon dioxide to oxygen.
