Carbonate

reaction that occur which reduces seawater's pH. All of the Carbon Dioxide is being put into our atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels. Calcium carbonate minerals are the building blocks for the skeletons of shells of many marine organisms. In certain areas where life now congregates in the ocean, the seawater, is supersaturated with calcium carbonate mineral. The guiding question is what may different concentrations of acid do to the shells? My hypothesis for this is that in the span of one…

There is several types of bipolar disorder but all of them involve episodes of mania and depression to a certain degree. Usually, these episodes can occur if you don’t get treatment. Bipolar I disorder mean that a person affected by it has had at least one manic episode in one’s life. In bipolar I, a person experiences at least one manic episode that lasts a week and also multiple episodes of major depression. If they get no treatment, these episodes will tend to repeat themselves over time.…

Project 3 Identification and Synthesis of an Unknown Ionic Compound Mitchell Morgan CEM-161-007 Josh Ward 28th October 2015 Abstract The chief objective of this experiment was to identify the unknown compound. The following tests were conducted to eventually establish the identity of the compounded: qualitative solubility tests, anion and cation tests, flame test, and the formation of a precipitate. The physical properties of the unknown ionic compound found that it has no smell and was…

My group had been given a specific task to investigate according to the lab manual1. We were employed by the Environmental Protection Agency as chemists. Our task is to identify an unknown compound that was found in a nearby landfill. In this laboratory, the unknown compound was given to us by our TA. The main goal of this experiment was to correctly identify the unknown compound. We also wanted to discover as many chemical and physical properties as possible. Physical properties are those that…

Respiration (Short-term storage) Carbon that is stored in plants, animals and all living things is released back into the atmosphere during the process of respiration. Energy is required for all living things to carry out life processes therefore stored glucose must be converted to energy by respiration. Oxygen is used to break down carbon stored as sugar for energy by the process of respiration. Carbon dioxide is released as a waste product back into the atmosphere C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O…

can also carry lead impurities. Usually the amount of lead corroded from metal plumbing generally lead increases as water's corrosivity. Water corrosivity is controlled by the water's acidity and calcium carbonate. If water has a ph level that is less than 7 and that has low calcium carbonate is more corrosive than water that has a ph higher than 7 and that has higher calcium…

Intro: Coral reefs are diverse underwater ecosystems held together by calcium carbonate structures secreted by corals. They are built by colonies of tiny animals found in marine waters that contain few nutrients and deliver ecosystem services to tourism, fisheries, and shoreline protection. Diadema species are common throughout their range and may be found on reef, sand, and rubble, and sometimes in large aggregations. There are several distinct genotypes of Diadema and this paper will talk…

the Earth? The ocean’s make up most of the world’s biodiversity, provide humans with food, and maintain numerous food webs. Coral reefs, mollusks, plankton, and sea urchins utilize carbonate ions and calcium to make their shells. However, the presence of hydrogen ions erodes shells and decreases the amount of carbonate present. As a result, this deteriorates coral reefs quicker than they can replenish themselves. This alters the biodiversity of aquatic ecosystem since coral reefs provide shelter…

Competition 1. Below are two types of organisms that compete. Explain what each is fighting for and the strategies employed to dominate. a. Corals- Compete for Sunlight i. Staghorn coral – grow fast and rise above the competition ii. Adjoining corals – certian corals are able to kill certian corals, so must be carful about ones neighbors. iii. Explain the concept of "demilitarized zone" or "no man’s land" - zones where competing corals have met, done battle, and…
