They produce large mounds of calcium carbonate‚ much like tropical corals‚ although at a much slower rate than the tropical corals. Contrary to public belief‚ it is the “deep-water coral communities that will first to experience a shift from saturated to undersaturated conditions of calcium carbonate” (Doney‚ 24). Organisms that produce aragonite are more vulnerable to changes in ocean acidity than those that produce

be made‚ as our results were not as accurate as we would have liked them to be. These improvements include being more careful when measuring out the hydrochloric acid in the graduated cylinder‚ putting the lid of the tube on faster right after the calcium chloride has been added so that no gas produced can escape‚ and making sure the very fine grains do not get stuck on the tube instead of going all the way down the tube into the hydrochloric acid. The rate of a chemical reaction is the speed at which

Ecosystem is a community of living organisms (plants‚ animals and microbes) in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment (things like air‚ water and mineral soil)‚ interacting as a system. These components are regarded as linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows. As ecosystems are defined by the network of interactions among organisms‚ and between organisms and their environment‚ they can come in any size but usually encompass specific‚ limited spaces (although

concentration of CaCO3 obtained was 1034 ppm‚ with a standard deviation of 2.4495. The results indicate that the unknown solution can be considered as hard water. Introduction The hardness of water is defined in terms of its cation content‚ which includes calcium‚ magnesium‚ iron‚ zinc‚ and other polyvalent metal ions. These metal ions interfere with the use of the water for many applications. For example‚ these ions diminish the effectiveness of soap and detergent for cleansing operations; they diminish

Subject: Chemistry Topic: The Periodic Table The periodic table is a classification of all the elements based on ATOMIC NUMBER. It is composed of HORIZONTAL PERIODS and VERTICAL GROUPS which contain the elements arranged: *the order of INCREASING ATOMIC NUMBER *in the relation to the ELECTRON STRUCTURE of the atoms *in the relation to their CHEMICAL PROPERTIES (Criteria Used For Placing ELEMENTS in the Periodic Table) 1.

Title: Stoichiometry Reaction Objectives: 1. To decompose sodium hydrogen carbonate (sodium bicarbonate) by heating. 2. To accurately measure the degree of completion of the reaction by analysing the solid sodium carbonate product. 3. To calculate amount of product with given amount of reactant. 4. To determine amount of heat release in the reaction. Results: Part 1: Thermal Decomposition of NaHCO3 Materials Mass (g) Clean and dry test tube 15.1632 Clean test tube + NaHCO3 17.1647

In this experiment‚ you will react a known amount of sodium carbonate solution with a known amount of calcium chloride solution. The skeletal (unbalanced) equation for the resulting double replacement reaction is: Na2CO3(aq) + CaCl2(aq) Æ NaCl(aq) + CaCO3(s) Note that three of the chemicals have their states or phases designated

Seawater is slightly basic (meaning pH > 7)‚ and the process is a shift towards pH-neutral conditions rather than a transition to acidic conditions (pH < 7). Ocean alkalinity is not changed by the process‚ or may increase over long time periods due to carbonate dissolution. An estimated 30–40% of the carbon dioxide from human activity released into the atmosphere dissolves into oceans‚ rivers and lakes. To achieve chemical equality‚ some of it reacts with the water to form carbonic acid. Some of these extra
