Carbon is stored in several "sinks" in the carbon cycle:
- organic molecules in living and dead organisms
- carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere
- organic matter in soil
- in rocks as fossil fuels and sedimentary rocks (limestone, dolomite, etc.)
- in the ocean as dissolved CO2 and calcium carbonate in shells
What else can I help you with?
How is the vast about of carbon stored?
stored in carbonate rock.
What is the significance of carbonate in a growler?
Carbonate in a growler is significant because it helps to maintain the carbonation level of the beer or other beverages stored in it. This helps to keep the drink fizzy and fresh for a longer period of time.
What is the largest amount of carbon stored on earth?
The largest amount of carbon stored on Earth is found in rocks, such as carbonate minerals like limestone and dolomite. These rocks contain carbon in the form of calcium carbonate, which makes up a significant portion of Earth's crust. Carbon stored in rocks is estimated to be many times greater than the amount of carbon found in the atmosphere and living organisms combined.
What is the major electrolytes stored in the skeletal system?
The main electrolytes in the skeleton are Ca+2 (calcium ion) and CO3-2 (carbonate ion).
Why may a stored sample of Na2CO3.10H2O contain less water than a sample that was not stored?
Sodium carbonate decahydrate, Na2CO3.10H2O readily loses some of the water of crystallisation eventually forming the monohydrate. It is an efflorescent salt, and its composition will change with time.
Which organic salts are stored in bone?
Bones contain hydroxyapatite, an inorganic salt.
What is the name of this ternary salt cu2co3?
copper(II) carbonate or cupric carbonate
Is the carbonate or the calcium the buffer in calcium carbonate?
The carbonate. Calcium is neutral.
Which of these is a carbonate?
Carbonate is a salt or ester of carbonic acid that contains the carbonate ion (CO3^2-). Examples of carbonates include calcium carbonate (CaCO3), sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), and potassium carbonate (K2CO3).
What is the name and formula of carbonates?
MeCO3 where Me is a metal.Ex.: sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, uranyl carbonate, etc.
What is the use of carbonate?
Each carbonate has specific applications. Please mention a carbonate.
How is carbon stored for long periods of time?
Carbon is stored for long periods of time in various ways, such as in fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas which have been formed over millions of years. Additionally, carbon is stored in forests and vegetation through the process of photosynthesis, with some carbon being sequestered in the soil as organic matter. Lastly, carbon can be stored in geological formations like carbonate rocks for millions of years.
