Carbon Sink:
Plant, soils, and oceans
How many main natural carbon sinks are there?
A measure of how acidic/basic water is.
What is pH?
Particles of the same substance sticking together.
What is cohesion?
Kilogram per cubic meter.
What are the units of density
Anything that absorbs more carbon from the atmosphere than it releases.
What is carbon sink
Able to dissolve other substances?
What is solvent?
Dissimilar particles or surfaces to cling to one another.
What is adhesion?
997 kg
What is the density of water?
Ocean, atmosphere, soil, and forests
What are the 4 main carbon sinks?
pH of less than 7.
What pH levels represent acidity?
Glass, soil, plant tissue, cotton, etc.
Examples of Adhesion?
Electrovalent Bond.
What is another name for ionic bonds?
Tropical rainforest.
What is the smallest carbon sink?
Natural solvent.
The solvents which are naturally produced by living organisms are called?
High surface tension
What does cohesion cause?
P=m/v
How do you calculate density?
Afforestation (conversion of no forested land to forest), reforestation (conversion of previously forested land to forest), improved forestry or agricultural practices, and revegetation.
What increases carbon sink
8,9,10,11,12,13, and 14
What are the numbers that represent the alkaline side of the pH scale?
Mercury exhibits more cohesion than adhesion with glass.
What liquid has the highest cohesion?
If the hydration energy of an ionic compound exceeds its lattice energy, the lattice is broken and the ions in the compound separate, causing the compound to dissolve.
Why are ionic bonds easily broken?
