Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Because when we combine the equations for carbonate weathering for CaCO3 and precipitation to determine the net effects of these processes on the chemistry of the oceans and on the composition of the atmosphere, we have got no net removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The net effect of CaCO3 weathering on land and CaCO3 precipitation in the ocean is zero, because the two processes balance each other:

Carbonate weathering:
CaCO3 + H2CO3  Ca2+ +2HCO3 -

Carbonate precipitation:
Ca2+ +2HCO3 -  CaCO3 + H2CO3

Net result: 0

The weathering equation is the reverse of the precipitation equation.

Over time, chronic hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections can progress to advanced liver disease, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Unlike other forms, more than 80% of hepatitis C infections become chronic and lead to liver disease. When combined with hepatitis B, hepatitis C now accounts for 75% percent of all cases of liver disease around the world. Liver failure caused by hepatitis C is now leading cause of liver transplants in the United States.

Did you know?

About 80% of major fungal systemic infections are due to Candida albicans. Another form, Candida peritonitis, occurs most often in postoperative patients. A rare disease, Candida meningitis, may follow leukemia, kidney transplant, other immunosuppressed factors, or when suffering from Candida septicemia.
