Why are coastal zones productive?

1 answer:

7 0

The surface waters in regions of coastal up-welling are cold and nutrient-rich, promoting robust growth of plants and the animals that feed on them. ... When too many nutrients are released into seas, bays, and estuaries, it can create an overabundance of decaying plants and animals, depleting oxygen from the water.

The Plant cell has cell walls to prevent it from basting in case of large amount of water.
while the animal cell doesn't have cell walls.

1) A mixture of anhydrous sodium carbonate and sodium hydrogencarbonate of mass 10.000 g was heated until it reached a constant

vodomira [7]

The masses of the components are obtained as;

Sodium hydrogen carbonate = 3.51 g
Sodium carbonate = 8.708 g

<h3>What is decomposition?</h3>

The term decomposition has to do with the breakdown of the given substance into its components. The components of sodium hydrogen carbonate could be identified as water vapor, carbon dioxide gas and sodium carbonate. Among these products that have been listed here, we can see that it is only the sodium carbonate that remains as a solid. The others are gases that move away from the system that is under study.

Now putting down the equation of the reaction, we have;

$2NaHCO_{3} (s) ----- > Na_{2} CO_{3} (s) + CO_{2} (g) + H_{2} O(g)$
