Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 6IQ
- a. Add to the formula in Interactive Question 3.5 to show how increasing [CO2] dissolving in water leads to a lower pH.
- b. Use this formula to explain how a lower pH would affect the [CO32−] in the ocean.
HCO3− ⇌ CO32− + H+
- c. Assuming a fairly constant [Ca2+] in the ocean, how would a change in [CO32− ] affect the calcification rate—the production of calcium carbonate (CaCO3)—by the coral in a reef ecosystem?

The atmospheric ratio of peroxyacetic nitric anhydride (PAN) to PAN + inorganic nitrite varies from less than 0.1 to 0.9. High values of the ratio are associated with photo chemically aged air masses, situations where precipitation has recently occurred, and situations were unusually high nighttime nitrogen oxide concentrations are found. What do these observations tell us  about the factors affecting the relative rates of formation and removal of nitrogen oxide compounds?
Explain the principles behind the melting curve and how this helps determine G+C content. Include an explanation of the components of the curve and how one would interpret a melting curve.
The thermodynamic properties governing the surface tension between water molecules and the grains of sand serve to hold the parts of Olaf together. Moreover, the sunlight on this sand sculpture establishes differential temperatures and associated water evaporation on the surface compared to the inner composition; consequently, the adhesion between sand grains on the surface rapidly becomes reduced, whereas more centrally located grains hold tight (i.e., until the tide changes).
Answer the following questions:
Could these same thermodynamic principles govern the connections between cells that support morphogenesis of the embryo?
What is the role played by biophysical properties in mechanisms of morphogenesis?

Any pH changes below 6.8 or above 7.8 can lead to death! Carbonic acid dissociates to form water and carbon dioxide in the equilibrium shown below. This process is crucial in respiration.H2CO3 (aq) ⇋ CO2 (g) + H2O pKa1 = 2.77 Carbonic acid dissociates in water to form the bicarbonate ion and the hydroxonium ion by the following equilibrium reaction:H2CO3 (aq) + H2O ⇋ H3O(aq)+ + HCO3− pKa2 = 3.70 (ii) Explain how a 25% increase in carbonic acid levels may impact the availability of lead if a tainted calcium supplement ends up on the local marketarrow_forward
