of carbonate due to the chemical reactions we have studied and drawn up. The problem with taking these very important ions out of the water is that they are one of the two compounds that calcifiers‚ very small organisms‚ need to survive. Calcifiers‚ which are the base of pretty much every coral reef on the planet‚ need to make shells which is part of their colonies skeleton. This leaves a decision for calcifiers to make: should I expend more energy capturing the decreasing amount of carbonate ions

LECTURE HOMEWORK 2 Visual MINTEQ -- Carbonate System DUE FRIDAY FEBRUARY 27th The carbonate system is extremely important‚ being central to respiration‚ photosynthesis‚ pH buffering‚ carbon budgets‚ and carbonate rock formation. CO2 is the primary cause of global warning‚ and carbonate rocks and dissolved species are the most important buffers of pH shifts in the natural environment. The carbonate system‚ however‚ can be challenging to predict without a full consideration of all species

William Piumbroeck Chem 214 Acid-Base Titration‚ Determination of Carbonate and Bicarbonate in a water sample Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine the concentration of two bases‚ carbonate and bicarbonate‚ by using a potentiometric titration. We can determine the concentration of the bases in the reactions ( H+ +CO3- < ==> HCO3- and H+ + HCO3- < ==> H2CO3-) by the way the pH of the solution changes. The way the pH changes when a strong acid is added can

Displayed are a basic description of carbonate rocks‚ depositional environments‚ mineralogy‚ ancient and modern reefs‚ diagenesis‚ facies analysis‚ and classification. Most carbonate rock classification schemes take into account characteristics that may require intensive microscopic

seconds. This is due to the pressure build-up as the carbon dioxide gas is produced. Describing the Chemical Reaction between Baking Soda and Vinegar Baking soda‚ a pure chemical called sodium bicarbonate‚ has the chemical formula: NaHCO3 When dissolved in water baking soda separates into sodium (Na+) and bicarbonate ions (HCO3- ): NaHCO3 ---> Na+(aq) + HCO3-(aq) Vinegar‚ a weak (5%) solution of acetic acid in water‚ partially dissociates into hydrogen ( H+) and acetate ions (CH3COO-):

Sodium is a mineral that is present only in small quantities in most natural foods‚ but salt is added‚ often in large amounts‚ in food processing and by cooks to enhance flavor. Sodium is the predominant ion in extra cellular fluid. Sodium (Na) is the predominant cation in extra cellular fluid and its concentration is under tight homeostatic control. Excess dietary sodium is excreted in the urine. The kidney very efficiently reabsorbs the mineral when intakes are low or losses are excessive. Sodium
