The oceans are regarded as carbon dioxide sinks, not sources. This means they remove carbon dioxide, not produce it. Carbon dioxide dissolves from the air into ocean water. Once there it is removed by plankton and algae, by corals and mollusks in making shells, and by chemical action.
What else can I help you with?
How much Carbon Dioxide is produced by a toaster?
67%
How much carbon dioxide produced with burning hydrocarbons?
This depends on the chemical composition of the hydrocarbon.
How much carbon dioxide do plants absorb on a daily basis?
Plants absorb about 25 of the carbon dioxide emissions produced by human activities each day.
What is potassium hydroxide used for in an experiment to demonstrate that carbon dioxide is produced by green plants during respiration?
Potassium hydroxide is used to absorb carbon dioxide produced by the green plant during respiration. By placing the potassium hydroxide in the experimental setup, any carbon dioxide released will be absorbed, preventing it from affecting the results of the experiment. This allows for the accurate measurement of how much carbon dioxide is produced by the plant during respiration.
How much carbon dioxide will be produced when one kilo of pure carbon burned?
C + O2 -------> CO2 12g of carbon produces 44g of carbon dioxide 1kg of carbon will produce 3-67kg of carbon dioxide
What gas in the atmosphere was absorbed by the oceans as they formed?
The ocean water absorbed much of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
How much carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is absorbed by the ocean on a daily basis?
20 million metric tons
Which dissolved gas is present in the ocean much greater proportion than in the atmosphere?
The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is very small (.04%) because CO2 is in great demand by photosynthetic plants as a source of carbon for growth. The proportion of dissolved CO2 in water is about 15% of all dissolved gases. There is about 60 times more CO2 dissolved in the ocean as in the atmosphere.
How much oxygen is produced in the ocean?
The ocean produces about 50-85% of the Earth's oxygen, primarily through photosynthesis by phytoplankton and algae. This oxygen comes from plants and algae using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce oxygen during the process of photosynthesis.
How much water is produced if g of methane and g of oxygen combine to form g of carbon dioxide?
From 16 g methane and 64 g oxygen are obtained 44 g carbon dioxide.
Do all fires produce carbon monoxide?
It depends on how much oxygen there is in the area of where is the fire, If the fire has enough or too much oxygen, there is no carbon monoxide, if there is any lack of oxygen, carbon monoxide is produced.
Which processes in the carbon cycle decreases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Photosynthesis is the main process in the carbon cycle that decreases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and convert it into carbohydrates and oxygen. This helps to store carbon and reduce the overall concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
