What is the CO2 concentration in seawater?
Approx. 2 000 micromoles CO2 (gas or ions) in 1L water.
What happens to the PH of seawater when calcium carbonate materials dissolve in seawater?
The Ph level of seawater decreases when Carbon Dioxide is introduced. The basic chemical equation for this is:CO2(aq) + H2O(l) H2CO3(aq)H2CO3(aq), Carbonic acid, is a very weak acid that will easy dissociate into H+ and HCO3-. This means that only about 1% of the dissolved CO2 actually affects the pH of seawater as an acid.However, the increased acidity produced by the addition of CO2 has many negative consequences to the ocean environment. When carbonic acid dissociates, it produces CO32-, the carbonate ion. This ion can react with many dissolved metal ions, such as Ca2+ and Mg2+, forming precipitates such as limestone and dolomite on the ocean floor. In addition, excessively acidic surface seawater can also dissolve some types of rocks, such as limestone, weakening the stone and creating many holes. Both of these reactions affect ocean life by very quickly and drastically changing the composition of the abiotic environment.
How does activated carbon affect pH?
as co2 increase pH decreases
How does CO₂ it affect the temperature of the earth?
There is now evidence that co2 and temperatures are not related. There was a period when the two were related, in other words, the temps rose as co2 levels did. But other times co2 rose, and temps dropped.
What are the percentage of salt in seawater?
3.5% to 4% is the percentage of salt in seawater.
What is the CO2 concentration in seawater?
Approx. 2 000 micromoles CO2 (gas or ions) in 1L water.
Does salt content of water affect the density of seawater?
the salt makes seawater denser than freshwater. more salt increases the density
How much does the co2 sensor affect the performance of the motor?
co2 sensor?
How does the destruction of the Amazon affect global warming?
trees convert CO2 to O2. CO2 is the cause of the warming The less trees there are to convert CO2, the more CO2 there will be
How do animals and plants of the ocean affect the chemical composition of seawater?
The exact same way you affect the air as a human being, in theroy.
Will newtons second law of motion affect a CO2 car?
Yes, if you're using the co2 car on Earth. All of Newton's laws will affect every moving object on Earth, and your co2 car is no exception.
What occurs when you add carbon dioxide to seawater?
Seawater is essentially NaCl + H2O. Adding CO2 will simply acidify the water, since CO2 + H2O ==> H2CO3 (carbonic acid). The NaCl can react to form Na2CO3 (sodium carbonate) and HCl, but all ions will be in solution, so there is no reaction, per se. Na^+ + Cl^- + 2H^+ + CO3^2- ==> no reaction
How will chlorophyll affect photosynthesis?
It does not affect. It is carrying out the process, water+light+CO2 --->glucose+O2.
How can lift affect the performance of a co2 car?
It will cause it to hidroplain
How does CO2 affect pH levels?
CO2 dissolves in water and forms H2CO3, a weak acid. Therefore, the presence of CO2 will lower the pH slightly from its previous level.
What factors will affect the performance of a CO2 car?
Aerodynamics of the car, the size of the wheels, the weight of the car, and the size of the CO2 cartridge.
How is air recycled in submarines?
In modern submarines, the electrolyser separates oxygen from hydrogen in seawater to produce breathable oxygen. There is also a scrubber that removes excess CO2 from the air.
