Chapter 07 - Ocean Chemistry
True / False
1. Sodium chloride as a compound does not truly exist in the ocean.

a. True
b. False
ANSWER: True
REFERENCES: 7-1 Water is a Powerful Solvent
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: OCEA.GARR.16.7-1-3 - Illustrate the difference between a solution and a mixture with
examples.
OTHER: Bloom’s: Remember
NOTES: Note that NaCl does not exist as a “salt” in seawater; its components are separated when salt
crystals dissolve in water, but they are joined when crystals re-form as water evaporates.
2. At saturation, the rate at which molecules of the solute are being dissolved is greater than the rate at which they are
precipitating at another location in the solution.
a. True
b. False
ANSWER: False
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: OCEA.GARR.16.7-1-5 - Define the terms saturation and precipitation as they relate to
solutions, and demonstrate the diffusion of a molecule in a solvent with an experiment.
NOTES: At saturation, the rate at which molecules of the solute are being dissolved equals the rate at
which they are precipitating (re-forming into crystals) at another location in the solution.
3. Pure water has four colligative properties associated with it.

a. True
b. False
ANSWER: False
REFERENCES: 7-2 Seawater Consists of Water and Dissolved Solids
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: OCEA.GARR.16.7-2-1 - Summarize how the four colligative properties of seawater modify
the physical properties of pure water.
NOTES: Colligative properties are the properties of solutions. Water alone in not a solution. Seawater,
however, is a solution so these properties are associated with it.
4. Residence times are dependent upon steady-state conditions and a well-mixed ocean.
a. True
b. False
ANSWER: True
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: OCEA.GARR.16.7-2-6 - Explain the concepts of chemical equilibrium and residence time,
and illustrate their effects on the ocean.
OTHER: Bloom’s: Understand
NOTES: The concept of a steady state ocean suggests that ions are added to the ocean at the same rate
as they are being removed. This theory helps explain why the ocean is not growing saltier. If

constituent minerals remain in ocean water longer than the ocean’s mixing time, they will
become evenly distributed throughout the ocean. The relatively long residence times of
seawater’s major constituents assure thorough mixing, the foundation of Forchhammer’s
principle of constant proportions.
5. The salts in the ocean are similar to those of concentrated river water.
a. True
b. False
ANSWER: False
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: OCEA.GARR.16.7-2-3 - Compare and contrast the salts in river water and seawater, and
identify their sources.
NOTES: If crustal rock is the only source of dissolved minerals to the ocean, then the salts in the
ocean should be like those of concentrated river water. But they are not. River water is
usually a dilute solution of bicarbonate and calcium ions, while the principal ions in seawater
are chloride and sodium. The magnesium content of seawater would also be higher if
seawater were simply concentrated river water.
6. Forchhammer was the first to observe that seawater contains fewer silica and calcium ions than river water.
a. True
b. False
ANSWER: True
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: OCEA.GARR.16.7-2-4 - Examine the early work of Forchhammer and Dittmar and assess
their contributions to our current knowledge of seawater.
NOTES: This constant ratio is known as Forchhammer’s principle, or the principle of constant
proportions. Forchhammer was also the first to observe that seawater contains fewer silica
and calcium ions than concentrated river water, and the first to realize that removal of these
compounds by marine animals and plants to form shells and other hard parts might account
for part of the difference.
7. Long residence times are generally associated with elements that are considered to be nonconservative constituents.
a. True
b. False
ANSWER: False
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: OCEA.GARR.16.7-2-7 - Differentiate between conservative and nonconservative
constituents, and identify examples of each.
NOTES: Conservative elements have longer residence times. This is the reason these elements make
up the bulk of the ocean's dissolved materials.
8. Sodium and chloride are nonconservative constituents of seawater.

a. True
b. False

ANSWER: False
NOTES: Sodium and chloride are constituents of seawater that occur in constant proportion or change
very slowly through time and are conservative constituents. Conservative elements have long
residence times.
9. There is a hundred times the amount of gaseous oxygen in the atmosphere than there is dissolved oxygen in the ocean.
a. True
b. False
ANSWER: True
REFERENCES: 7-3 Gases Dissolve in Seawater
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: OCEA.GARR.16.7-3-2 - Estimate the concentration of each of the major gases in seawater,
and compare it with their concentration in the atmosphere.
NOTES: About 36% of the gas dissolved in the ocean is oxygen, but there is about a hundred times
more gaseous oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere than is dissolved in the whole ocean.
10. Carbon dioxide is abundant near the ocean surface due to the photosynthesis activities of plants.
a. True
b. False
ANSWER: False
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: OCEA.GARR.16.7-3-3 - Hypothesize why the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the
ocean decreases with depth and carbon dioxide increases with depth.
NOTES: Carbon dioxide is quickly used for marine photosynthesis, which causes oxygen to be more
abundant near the surface.
11. Marine animals are unable to break down water molecules to acquire oxygen, but marine plants can produce enough
carbon dioxide to support its own metabolism.
a. True
b. False
ANSWER: False
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: OCEA.GARR.16.7-3-1 - List the major dissolved gases found in seawater, and propose
reasons why their concentrations change in different geographical areas of the ocean.
NOTES: No marine animal has the ability to break down water molecules to obtain oxygen directly,
and no marine plant can manufacture enough carbon dioxide to support its own metabolism.
12. An acid is a substance that combines with a hydrogen ion in solution.

a. True
b. False

ANSWER: False
REFERENCES: 7-4 The Ocean's Acid-Base Balance Varies with Dissolved Components and Depth
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: OCEA.GARR.16.7-4-1 - Define an acid and a base, and label their levels on the pH scale.
NOTES: An acid is a substance that releases a hydrogen ion in solution. A base is a substance that
combines with a hydrogen ion in solution.
13. Rapid amounts of photosynthesis can increase the alkalinity of seawater.

a. True
b. False
ANSWER: True
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: OCEA.GARR.16.7-4-2 - Describe the molecular reactions involved in the buffering of
seawater, and describe how they react to changes in pH.
NOTES: In areas of rapid photosynthesis, pH will rise because plants and plantlike organisms use
CO2. Because temperatures are generally warmer at the surface, less CO2 can dissolve in the
first place. So surface pH in warm productive water is usually around 8.5.
14. The pH scale is the logarithmic measure of hydrogen ion concentrations.

a. True
b. False
ANSWER: True
NOTES: The pH scale is logarithmic, which means that a change of one pH unit represents a 10-fold
change in the hydrogen ion concentration.
15. A higher level of pH is associated with more hydrogen ions.

a. True
b. False
ANSWER: False
NOTES: High levels of pH have less hydrogen ions. More acidic pH levels have more hydrogen ions.
Multiple Choice
16. What is a solute?

a. A homogeneously dispersed mixture
b. A heterogeneously dispersed mixture
c. A substance that dissolves into another substance
d. A mixture of two or more substances
e. A substance, usually a liquid, which dissolves other substances
ANSWER: c
examples.
NOTES: In solutions, the solute is usually a dissolved solid or gas. Generally, the concentration of a
solute in a solution is less abundant than the solvent.
17. _____ is a mixture, not a solution.

a. Groundwater
b. Air
c. Noodle soup
d. Coffee with cream
e. Seawater
ANSWER: c
examples.
NOTES: In a mixture, different substances are closely intermingled but retain separate identities. The
properties of a mixture are heterogeneous; they may vary from place to place within the
mixture. Think of noodle soup as a mixture of noodles and liquid.
18. Why does oil not dissolve in water?

a. It forms a solution with water
b. It has ionic bonds.
c. It is found within tissues of organisms.
d. It is a polar molecule.
e. It forms a mixture with water.
ANSWER: e
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: OCEA.GARR.16.7-1-4 - Demonstrate how an ionic molecule (NaCl) reacts with a polar
molecule (water).
NOTES: Oil doesn’t dissolve in water even if the two are thoroughly shaken together. When oil is
dispersed in water, it forms a mixture because molecules of oil are nonpolar in character.
This means that oil has no positive or negative charges to attract the polar water molecule.
19. The average time water stays in the ocean before evaporating is about ____.
a. 4,100 years
b. 9 days
c. 10 years
d. 100 years
e. 9,100 years
ANSWER: a
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: OCEA.GARR.16.7-1-2 - Differentiate between the residence time of water in the ocean and
air.
NOTES: The average time water stays in the ocean (before being evaporated) is about 4,100 years.
Once in the air, its residence time is only 9 days.
20. What is the main avenue that water takes while moving from ocean to air?
a. movement with glaciers
b. runoff from land
c. movement through ground
d. precipitation
e. evaporation from the ocean
ANSWER: e
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: OCEA.GARR.16.7-1-1 - Construct a diagram of the hydrologic cycle, and illustrate the flow
patterns of water as it moves through the different reservoirs.
NOTES: Water cycles continuously. The hydrologic cycle is powered by solar radiation. About 85%
of all water entering the atmosphere evaporates from the ocean (the remaining 15% comes
from water on land).
21. What is a correct modification of a physical property of water by changing its salinity?
a. Freezing point increases with salinity.
b. Boiling point decreases with salinity.
c. Seawater evaporates faster than freshwater.
d. Osmotic pressure rises with increasing salinity.
e. Heat capacity increases with increasing salinity.
ANSWER: d
NOTES: Osmotic pressure, the pressure exerted on a biological membrane when the salinity of the
environment is different from that within the cells, rises with increasing salinity.
22. Which term describes the average length of time an atom of an element spends in the ocean?
a. longevity
b. durability time
c. saturation time
d. residence time
e. steady state
ANSWER: d
NOTES: Residence time explains why the ocean does not become progressively saltier with age. The
residence time of an element can be calculated by dividing the amount of an element in the
ocean by the rate at which the element is added or removed from the ocean.
23. What is the colligative property that deals with the freezing point of water?
a. Sea ice forms at a higher temperature than freshwater ice.
b. Salinity disrupts the hydrogen bonding in water and increases the freezing point.
c. Salt crystals become incorporated into ice as it forms causing the temperature to increase.
d. Salinity disrupts the hydrogen bonding in water and acts as a type of antifreeze.
e. Lake ice forms at a lower temperature than sea ice.
ANSWER: d
NOTES: Dissolved salts disrupt the webwork of hydrogen bonding in water. As salinity increases, the
freezing point of water becomes lower; the salts act as a sort of antifreeze. Sea ice therefore
forms at a lower temperature than ice in freshwater lakes.
24. Which element would be surprisingly considered a trace element in the ocean despite its abundance in the
atmosphere?
a. sodium
b. nitrogen
c. calcium
d. chloride
e. oxygen
ANSWER: b
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: OCEA.GARR.16.7-2-2 - List the most abundant elements found in "sea salt".
NOTES: Nitrogen is a trace element in the ocean despite its abundance in the atmosphere. Any
element that is less than 1 part per million is considered a trace element.
25. What is the primary source of sodium ions to the ocean?

a. contact with fresh crust
b. volcanic vents and outgassing
c. weathering of crustal rocks
d. percolating seawater through mid-ocean rifts
e. dissolution of mineral deposits at hydrothermal vents
ANSWER: c
NOTES: The sodium ions come from the weathering of crustal rocks, while the chloride ions come
from the mantle by way of volcanic vents and outgassing from mid-ocean rifts.
26. What is the source of most of the dissolved materials found in the ocean?
a. biological activities
b. weathering of crustal rocks
c. outgassing
d. convection currents
e. atmospheric deposition
ANSWER: b
NOTES: Although there are multiple sources of the dissolved materials in the ocean, much of the
material comes from the weathering of surface rocks from rain and waves. The composition
of the ocean is different from rivers because there is the addition of excess volatiles coming
from the upper mantle.
27. What is the second most abundant ion in seawater?

a. sodium
b. chloride
c. magnesium
d. sulfate
e. calcium
ANSWER: a
NOTES: The most abundance ions in seawater (in order) include chloride, sodium, sulfate,
magnesium, calcium, potassium, and bicarbonate.
28. What is the approximate mixing time of the ocean?

a. 16,000 years
b. 160 years
c. 16 years
d. 1,600 years
e. 1.6 million years
ANSWER: d
NOTES: Because of the vigorous activity of currents, the mixing time of the ocean is thought to be on
the order of 1,600 years, so the ocean has been mixed hundreds of thousands of times during
its long history.
29. How does a salinometer measure salinity?

a. It calculates the salinity by measuring the chlorinity.

b. It measures the refractive index of seawater.
c. It calculates the salinity based on the density of the seawater.
d. It measures the conductivity of seawater.
e. It measures the number of salt molecules in a given mass of seawater.
ANSWER: d
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: OCEA.GARR.16.7-2-5 - List the units of salinity and outline how it is measured.
NOTES: The conductivity of seawater varies with salt concentrations and temperatures. Salinometers
are able to adjust for the water temperature and be calibrated against samples of known
conductivity and salinity.
30. What is the term for ocean components not accounted for by the weathering of continents?
a. trace elements
b. colligative properties
c. conservative constituents
d. nonconservative constituents
e. excess volatiles
ANSWER: e
NOTES: The components of ocean water whose proportions are not accounted for by the weathering
of surface rocks are called excess volatiles.
31. What causes a decrease in oxygen levels beyond the sunlit layer?
a. There are fewer animals present
b. Mineral precipitation
c. The respiration of marine animals and bacteria
d. Decreased saturation because of cooler water
e. The by-products of photosynthesis
ANSWER: c
NOTES: The oxygen concentration decreases below the sunlit layer because of the respiration of
marine animals and bacteria, and because of the oxygen consumed by the decay of tiny dead
organisms slowly sinking through the area.
32. What type of water mass dissolves a higher concentration of gases?

a. temperate water masses
b. subtropical water masses

c. tropical water masses

d. equatorial water masses
e. polar water masses
ANSWER: e
NOTES: Unlike solids, gases dissolve most readily in cold water. A cubic meter of chilly polar water
usually contains a greater volume of dissolved gases than a cubic meter of warm tropical
water.
33. What is a primary source of oxygen to ocean surface water?

a. decay of marine organisms
b. photosynthesis
c. chemosynthesis
d. respiration from bacteria
e. large quantities of organisms
ANSWER: b
NOTES: The sources of the ocean’s dissolved oxygen are the photosynthetic activity of plants and
plant-like organisms, and the diffusion of oxygen from the atmosphere.
34. Which essential gas is often in an unusable form in the ocean and atmosphere?
a. nitrogen
b. oxygen
c. carbon dioxide
d. methane
e. hydrogen
ANSWER: a
NOTES: The upper layers of ocean water are usually saturated with nitrogen gas; that is, additional
nitrogen gas will not dissolve. Living organisms require nitrogen to build proteins and other
important biochemicals, but the vast majority of them cannot use the nitrogen gas in the
atmosphere and ocean directly. It must first be bound, or fixed, into usable chemical forms by
specialized organisms.
35. The concentration of ____ increases with depth, and is affected by the calcium carbonate compensation depth.
a. ammonia
b. carbon dioxide
c. hydrogen
d. oxygen
e. nitrogen
ANSWER: b
NOTES: In contrast, plants and plantlike organisms use carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, so
surface levels of CO2 are low. Because photosynthesis cannot take place in the dark, CO2
given off by animals and bacteria tends to build up at depths below the sunlit layer. Levels of
CO2 also increase with depth because its solubility increases as pressure increases and
temperature decreases.
36. Forchhammer's principle explains ____.

a. seawater pH
b. seawater buffering capacity
c. the carbonate cycle
d. conservative seawater constituents
e. the salinity gradient in the water column
ANSWER: d
NOTES: In 1865, the chemist Georg Forchhammer noted that although the total amount of dissolved
solids (salinity) might vary among samples, the ratio of major salts was constant in samples
of seawater from many locations. In other words, the percentage of various salts in seawater
is the same in samples from many places, regardless of how salty the water is. This constant
ratio is known as the principle of constant proportions and identifies the conservative and
nonconservative constituents of seawater.
37. What factor accounts for the slow return of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
a. geological uplift
b. burial of calcium carbonate shells and skeletons in ocean sediments
c. increase of solubility with depth
d. photosynthesis by surface organisms
e. sediment dissolution
ANSWER: b
NOTES: CO2 moves quickly from atmosphere to ocean, but more slowly from ocean to atmosphere.
This is because some dissolved CO2 forms carbonate ions, which combine with calcium ions
in seawater to form the calcium carbonate, used by many marine organisms to build shells
and skeletons. When these organisms die, their coverings and bones sink to form sediments
that may, in time, become limestone rock. Most of Earth’s surface carbon is stored in
sediments. This carbon slowly re-enters the cycle as sediments dissolve and re-form CO2 that
can enter the atmosphere.
38. Why can seawater hold many times more carbon dioxide than either nitrogen or oxygen at saturation?
a. Carbon dioxide is not used in photosynthesis.
b. Carbon dioxide is used in mineral formation.
c. Carbon dioxide combines chemically with water to form carbonic acid.
d. Carbon dioxide is more reactive.
e. Carbon dioxide is used by plankton for energy.
ANSWER: c
NOTES: Because CO2 combines chemically with water to form a weak acid, water can hold perhaps a
thousand times more carbon dioxide than either nitrogen or oxygen at saturation. Carbon
dioxide is quickly used for marine photosynthesis, however; dissolved quantities of CO2 are
almost always much less than this theoretical maximum. Even so, there is about 60 times as
much CO2 dissolved in the ocean as in the atmosphere.
39. Which substance is considered a nonconservative constituent in seawater?

a. bicarbonate
b. magnesium
c. phosphate
d. potassium
e. sulfate
ANSWER: c
NOTES: Nonconservative constituents are those substances dissolved in seawater, which are tied to
biological or seasonal cycles or to very short geological cycles. They have short residence
times. Biologically important nonconservative constituents include dissolved oxygen
produced by plants, carbon dioxide produced by animals, silica and calcium compounds
needed for plant and animal shells, or the nitrates and phosphates needed for production of
protein and other biochemicals.
40. The ocean is becoming more acidic as it absorbs additional ____ from the atmosphere.
a. nitrogen
b. ozone
c. ammonia
d. carbon dioxide
e. oxygen
ANSWER: d
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: OCEA.GARR.16.7-4-3 - Discuss how anthropogenic inputs could lead to increased
acidification of the ocean with examples.
NOTES: Burning fossil fuels to provide energy for transportation and industry produces a large
amount of carbon dioxide. The ocean serves as a natural sink for this excess carbon
dioxide—the ocean took up about 25% of the CO2 emitted by human activity in the period
2000 to 2006. The CO2 combines with water to become carbonic acid. The additional
carbonic acid produced has made the ocean less alkaline.
41. What is the source of high carbon dioxide levels at middle depths in the ocean?
a. mineral formation
b. plant photosynthesis
c. atmospheric deposition
d. decay of the remains of organisms
e. venting and outgassing
ANSWER: d
NOTES: At middle depths and in deep water, more CO2 may be present than at the surface. Its source
is the respiration of animals and the decay of the remains of organisms falling from the sunlit
layer above (bacterial respiration).
42. What happens to pH levels in regions where there is excess carbon dioxide present?
a. Carbon dioxide does not heavily impact pH levels.
b. The seawater is able to buffer enough that there is no change.
c. The pH levels increase in these regions.
d. The seawater becomes more alkaline.
e. The pH levels decrease in these regions.
ANSWER: e
NOTES: The pH level in the ocean can be altered in the ocean with changes in carbon dioxide. Higher
levels of carbon dioxide, which often occurs at, middle depths in the ocean causes the water
to be less alkaline.
43. When carbon dioxide first enters the ocean and combines with water, what chemical compound is formed first?
a. bicarbonate
b. carbonate
c. carbonic acid
d. calcium carbonate
e. hydrogen ions
ANSWER: c
NOTES: When CO2 combines with water in ocean carbonic acid is first formed.
44. What is the average pH of the ocean?

a. 7.0
b. 7.5
c. 6.5
d. 8.5
e. 8.0
ANSWER: e
NOTES: Although the pH can vary in particular regions and depths of the ocean, the average pH is
8.0. The amount of carbon dioxide can have large impacts on the pH levels. The range of pH
found in the ocean is approximately 7.0 to 8.5.
45. Which item is not considered to have a basic pH?

a. baking soda
b. household ammonia
c. black coffee
d. seawater
e. bleach
ANSWER: c
NOTES: The pH scale is logarithmic, which means that a change of one pH unit represents a 10-fold
change in the hydrogen ion concentration. A modern nonphosphate detergent is a thousand
times more alkaline than seawater, and black coffee is a hundred times more acidic than pure
water. Pure water, which is neutral (neither acidic nor basic), has a pH of 7; lower numbers
indicate greater acidity, and higher numbers indicate greater alkalinity.

ANSWER: two, 2
Subjective Short Answer
66. Summarize the colligative properties of water and how salinity affects them.
ANSWER: Water's colligative properties are those four properties, which vary with the quantity of
solutes dissolved in the water. Because colligative properties are the properties of solutions,
the more concentrated (saline) water is, the more important these properties become.
(Because it is not a solution, pure water has no colligative properties.)
(1) The heat capacity of water decreases with increasing salinity; that is, less heat is
necessary to raise the temperature of seawater by 1° than is required to raise the temperature
of freshwater by the same amount.
(2) Dissolved salts disrupt the webwork of hydrogen bonding in water. As salinity increases,
the freezing point of water becomes lower; the salts act as a sort of antifreeze. Sea ice
therefore forms at a lower temperature than ice in freshwater lakes.
(3) Because dissolved salts tend to attract water molecules, seawater evaporates more slowly
than freshwater. Swimmers usually notice that freshwater evaporates quickly and completely
from their skin, but seawater lingers.
(4) Osmotic pressure, the pressure exerted on a biological membrane when the salinity of the
environment is different from that within the cells, rises with increasing salinity. This is a key
factor in transmitting water into and out of cells.
67. Compare and contrast the main salts in river water and seawater.
ANSWER: Much of the sea’s dissolved material originated from the ability of rain, groundwater, or
crashing surf to dissolve crustal rock, crustal rock is not the only source of the ocean’s
solutes. If crustal rock is the only source, then the salts in the ocean should be like those of
concentrated river water. But they are not. River water is usually a dilute solution of
bicarbonate and calcium ions, while the principal ions in seawater are chloride and sodium.
The magnesium content of seawater would also be higher if seawater were simply
concentrated river water. The proportions of salts in isolated salty inland lakes, such as
Utah’s Great Salt Lake or the Dead Sea, are much different from the proportions of salts in
the ocean. So weathering and erosion of crustal rocks cannot be the only source of sea salts.
The components of ocean water whose proportions are not accounted for by the weathering
of surface rocks are called excess volatiles. To find the source of these excess volatiles, we
must look to Earth’s deeper layers. The upper mantle appears to contain more of the
substances found in seawater (including the water itself) than are found in surface rocks, and
their proportions are about the same as found in the ocean. Some of the ocean’s solutes are
hybrids of the two processes of weathering and outgassing. Table salt, or sodium chloride, is
an example. The sodium ions come from the weathering of crustal rocks, while the chloride
ions come from the mantle by way of volcanic vents and outgassing from mid-ocean rifts. As
for the lower-than-expected quantity of magnesium and sulfate ions in the ocean, research at
a spreading center east of the Galápagos Islands suggests that the chemical composition of
seawater percolating through mid-ocean rifts is altered by contact with fresh crust. The water
that circulates through new ocean floor at these sites is apparently stripped of magnesium and
a few other elements. The magnesium seems to be incorporated into mineral deposits, but
calcium is added as hot water dissolves adjacent rocks.
68. Discuss the concentration gradients of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the ocean water column.
ANSWER: Oxygen is abundant near the surface in the ocean’s brightly lit upper layer because of the
activity of marine photosynthesizers (plants and plantlike organisms). Since plants and
plantlike organisms require carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, surface CO2 concentrations
tend to be low. A decrease in oxygen below the sunlit upper layer usually results from the
respiration of bacteria and marine animals, as well as, oxygen consumption through the decay
of tiny dead organisms slowly sinking through the area. Because photosynthesis cannot take
place in the dark, CO2 given off by animals and bacteria tends to build up at depths below the
sunlit layer. Levels of CO2 also increase with depth because its solubility increases as
pressure increases and temperature decreases. Oxygen levels are slightly higher in deeper
water because fewer animals are present to take up the oxygen that reaches these depths.
69. Formulate the main reactions that contribute to the ocean's buffering capacity, and discuss how the reaction proceeds.
ANSWER: When dissolved in water CO2 is present in several different forms: carbonic acid (H2CO3),
the bicarbonate ion (HCO3-), and the carbonate ion (CO32-), including the release of
hydrogen ions (H+) as these constituents breakdown.
Step One: CO2 + H2O <=> H2CO3

Step Two: H2CO3 <=> HCO3- + H+
Step Three: HCO3- + H+ <=> CO32- + 2H+
In Step One, carbon dioxide and water combine to form carbonic acid. Carbonic acid rapidly
dissociates into a bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) and a hydrogen ion (H+) in Step Two. Most of the
CO2 dissolved in seawater ends up as HCO3-. Some of the bicarbonate and hydrogen ions
will then combine to form carbonate (CO32-) ions and two hydrogen ions (2H+) in Step
Three. At any given pH CO2, H2CO3, HCO3-, CO32- and H+ exist in equilibrium with each
other. If acid is added to the system and pH decreases, the reaction proceeds toward Step One
(to the left), raising the pH by removing excess H+ ions. If an alkaline solution is added, and
the pH increases, the reaction proceeds toward Step Three (to the right), lowering the pH by
releasing H+ ions.

70. Identify anthropogenic inputs that could increase the acidity of the ocean.
ANSWER: (1) Burning fossil fuels to provide energy for transportation and industry produces a large
amount of carbon dioxide. The ocean serves as a natural sink for this excess carbon dioxide.
The CO2 combines with water to become carbonic acid. The additional carbonic acid
produced has made the ocean less alkaline. The surface ocean pH has dropped by about 0.1
units since the industrial revolution began, and it is estimated that it will drop by an
additional 0.3 to 0.5 units by 2100 as the ocean absorbs more anthropogenic (human-
generated) carbon dioxide.
(2) Increasing acidity decreases the concentration of calcium carbonate in the water, making
it unavailable to organisms for the construction of some hard parts (shells, skeletons, and
rigid coverings).
(3) The ocean’s extensive, and productive coral reefs are in particular danger from
accelerating ocean acidification. In 2014, the atmospheric concentration of CO2 was about
398 parts per million by volume—at no time in the last 10 million years has the concentration
been so high. Since 1990, the growth of coral in the Australian Barrier Reef has slowed to its
lowest rate in at least 400 years, possibly as a result of the warmer and more acidic ocean.
(4) Additionally, coral skeletons appear to have lost some of their density, and thus are
thinner and more brittle. The ability of coral colonies to withstand wave stress may be
compromised, and their resistance to predation by grazing animals (parrotfish, urchins, and
other gnawing species) lowered. Also, as coral species exert more energy to maintaining
skeletal integrity, cellular resources are diverted from other essential processes such as
reproduction and fighting disease.
(5) Apart from the obvious loss of species diversity and extinctions that a rapid decline in
coral reefs would involve, there are other considerations. People, infrastructure, lagoon and
estuarine ecosystems, mangrove forests, fisheries, aquaculture operations, tourism, sand
generation, bird populations, and a host of other interconnected systems would be negatively
affected.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: OCEA.GARR.16.7-4-3 - Discuss how anthropogenic inputs could lead to increased
acidification of the ocean with examples.

One day I sent her to Tiffany’s, the jewellers. She added only a
mere little trinket to my order, a locket with her monogram set in
diamonds. I received the bill in due course, but she had left me.
Previously she had gone with me to Nice, and had remained there
while I was on the road in the United States. When I returned I
learned that during my absence she had lived at the hotel where I
left her and that her bill, charged to my account, amounted to nearly
6,000 francs.
Presently other invoices arrived from dyers and cleaners, glove
makers, shoemakers, costumiers, modistes, furriers, linendrapers
and finally the bill from Tiffany’s.
But the limit was reached when a student from the Beaux Arts
asked me if I could not return him sixty-six francs which he had lent
me two years before through the medium of my pretty secretary.
Next there came a gentleman from London, one whom I held in too
great esteem to go into details, who asked me for ten pounds
sterling which he had loaned me, again through the medium of my
clever and well-dressed secretary.
But in speaking of my troubles I am liable to forget my lunch with
the Clareties.
As we were about to sit down Mme. Claretie brought in an elderly
woman of very pleasant appearance. I have rarely seen motions
easier, more simple or more harmonious. Leaning against each other
they made a delightful picture. Mme. Claretie presented me to her
mother. I asked how she was.
“Oh, I am very well,” she replied, “my eyes are my only trouble. I
cannot read without glasses, and the glasses annoy me a great
deal.”
She had always been very fond of reading, and could not bring
herself to the idea of reading no more. I sympathised with her and
told her so. Then suddenly it occurred to me to ask her how old she
was.
“Ninety-five years,” she replied.
And she was complaining of not being able to read any longer
without glasses!
We spoke of her grandchildren and her great grandchildren. I
asked her if the happiness of being surrounded by so many
affectionate people did not bring large compensation for the
infirmities of age.
She replied:
“I love my children and my grandchildren, and I live in them. But
that does not restore to me my eyesight. It is terrible not to be able to
see.”
And she was right. Love gave her strength to bear her
misfortune, but she feared that the prison of darkness would claim
her as its prey. Before going to the dining-room she had taken her
daughter’s arm. She had no assistance on the other hand in eating.
Her good humour was unvarying.
She took some knitting from a work-basket, and said in a firm
voice:
“I must work. I can no longer see well enough to be sure that my
knitting is well done, but I have to keep busy, nevertheless.”
Mme. Claretie asked me if I was acquainted with Alexandre
Dumas.
I told her how I had chanced to meet him. Then M. Claretie asked
me numerous questions, which I tried to evade in order not to seem
to talk about myself all the time. Imagine my astonishment when next
morning I read in the Temps an article, a column and a half long,
devoted entirely to our visit at M. Claretie’s and signed by the
gentleman himself.
“Mme. Hanako,” he wrote, “is in town, a little person, delightfully
odd and charming. In her blue or green robes, embroidered with
flowers of many colours, she is like a costly doll, or a prettily
animated idol, which should have a bird’s voice. The sculptor Rodin
may possibly show us her refined features and keen eyes at the next
Salon, for he is occupied just now with a study of her, and I believe a
statue of the comedienne. He has never had a better model. These
Japanese, who are so energetic, leaping into the fray like the ants
upon a tree trunk, are likewise capable of the most complete
immobility and the greatest patience. These divergent qualities
constitute the strength of their race.
“Mme. Hanako, whom I saw and applauded in ‘The Martyr’ at the
Opera, came to see me, through the kindness of Miss Loie Fuller,
who discovered Sada Yacco for us some years ago. It is delightful to
see at close hand and in so attractive a guise this little creature, who
looks so frightful when, with convulsed eyes, she mimics the death
agony. There is a pretty smile on the lips which at the theatre are
curled under the pain of hara-kiri. She made me think of Orestes
exhibiting the funeral urn to Electra: ‘As you see, we bring the little
remnants in a little urn.’
“Loie Fuller, who was a soubrette before being the goddess of
light, an enchantress of strange visions, has become enamoured of
this dramatic Japanese art and has popularised it everywhere,
through Sada Yacco and then through Mme. Hanako. I have always
observed that Loie Fuller has a very keen intelligence. I am not
surprised that Alexandre Dumas said to me: ‘She ought to write out
her impressions and her memories.’ I should like to hear from her
how she first conceived these radiant dances, of which the public
has never grown tired, and which she has just begun again at the
Hippodrome. She is, however, more ready to talk philosophy than
the stage. Gaily, with her blue eye and her faun-like smile, she
replied to my question: ‘It’s just chance. The light came to me. I
didn’t have to go to it.’”
I apologize for reproducing these eulogistic words. I have even
suppressed certain passages, for M. Claretie was very
complimentary. It was, however, absolutely necessary that I should
make this citation, since out of it grew the present book.
M. Claretie had quoted Dumas’ opinion. He returned to the
charge.
Soon after, in fact, I received a letter from M. Claretie urging me
to begin my “memoirs.” Perhaps he was right, but I hardly dared
undertake such a terrible task all alone. It looked so formidable to
write a book, and a book about myself!
One afternoon I called on Mme. Claretie. A number of pleasant
people were there and, after Mme. Claretie had mentioned this
notion of “memoirs” which her husband, following Dumas’ lead, had
favoured, they all began to ask me questions about myself, my art
and the steps by which I had created it. Everyone tried to encourage
me to undertake the work.
A short time after this Mme. Claretie sent me tickets for her box
at the Théâtre-Français. I went there with several friends. There
were twelve of us, among whom was Mrs. Mason, wife of the
American Consul-General, who is the most remarkable statesman I
have ever known, and the best diplomatist of the service.
In return for the Clareties’ kindness I invited them to be present at
one of my rehearsals of ‘Salome.’ They were good enough to accept
my invitation and one evening they arrived at the Théâtre des Arts
while I was at work. Later I came forward to join them. We stood in
the gloom of a dimly lighted hall. The orchestra was rehearsing. All
at once a dispute arose between the musical composer and the
orchestra leader. The composer said:
“They don’t do it that way at the Opera.”
Thereupon the young orchestra leader replied:
“Don’t speak to me of subsidised theatres. There’s nothing more
imbecile anywhere.”
He laid great stress on the words “subsidised” and “imbecile.”
M. Claretie asked me who this young man was. I had not heard
exactly what he said. Nevertheless, as I knew something
embarrassing had occurred, I tried to excuse him, alleging that he
had been rehearsing all day, that half his musicians had deserted to
take positions at the Opera and that they had left him only the
understudies.
M. Claretie, whose good nature is proverbial, paid no attention to
the incident. Several days later, indeed, on November 5, 1907, he
wrote for the Temps a long article, which is more eulogistic than I
deserve, but which I cite because it gives an impression of my work
at a rehearsal.
“The other evening,” he wrote, “I had, as it were, a vision of a
theatre of the future, something of the nature of a feministic theatre.
“Women are more and more taking men’s places. They are
steadily supplanting the so-called stronger sex. The court-house
swarms with women lawyers. The literature of imagination and
observation will soon belong to women of letters. In spite of man’s
declaration that there shall be no woman doctor for him the female
physician continues to pass her examinations and brilliantly. Just
watch and you will see woman growing in influence and power; and
if, as in Gladstone’s phrase, the nineteenth century was the working-
man’s century, the twentieth will be the women’s century.
“I have been at the Théâtre des Arts, Boulevard des Batignolles,
at a private rehearsal, which Miss Loie Fuller invited me to attend.
She is about to present there to-morrow a ‘mute drama’—we used to
call it a pantomime—the Tragedie de Salome, by M. Robert
d’Humières, who has rivalled Rudyard Kipling in translating it. Loie
Fuller will show several new dances there: the dance of pearls, in
which she entwines herself in strings of pearls taken from the coffin
of Herodias; the snake dance, which she performs in the midst of a
wild incantation; the dance of steel, the dance of silver, and the
dance of fright, which causes her to flee, panic-stricken, from the
sight of John’s decapitated head persistently following her and
surveying her with martyred eyes.
THE DANCE OF FEAR FROM “SALOME”
“Loie Fuller has made studies in a special laboratory of all the
effects of light that transform the stage, with the Dead Sea, seen
from a height, and the terraces of Herod’s palace. She has
succeeded, by means of various projections, in giving the actual
appearance of the storm, a glimpse of the moonbeams cast upon the
waves, of the horror of a sea of blood. Of Mount Nebo, where
Moses, dying, hailed the promised land, and the hills of Moab which
border the horizon, fade into each other where night envelops them.
The light in a weird way changes the appearance of the picturesque
country. Clouds traverse the sky. Waves break or become smooth as
a surface of mother-of-pearl. The electric apparatus is so arranged
that a signal effects magical changes.
“We shall view miracles of light ere long at the theatre. When M.
Fortuny, son of the distinguished Spanish artist, has realised ‘his
theatre’ we shall have glorious visions. Little by little the scenery
encroaches upon the stage, and perhaps beautiful verses, well
pronounced, will be worthy of all these marvels.
“It is certain that new capacities are developing in theatrical art,
and that Miss Loie Fuller will have been responsible for an important
contribution. I should not venture to say how she has created her
light effects. She has actually been turned out by her landlord
because of an explosion in her apparatus. Had she not been so well
known she would have been taken for an anarchist. At this theatre,
Rue des Batignolles, where I once witnessed the direst of
melodramas that ever made popular audiences shiver, at this
theatre, which has become elegant and sumptuous with its
handsome, modernised decorations, at the Théâtre des Arts, she
has installed her footlights, her electric lamps, all this visual fairyland
which she has invented and perfected, which has made of her a
unique personality, an independent creator, a revolutionist in art.
“There, on that evening when I saw her rehearse Salome in
everyday clothes, without costume, her glasses over her eyes,
measuring her steps, outlining in her dark robe the seductive and
suggestive movements, which she will produce to-morrow in her
brilliant costume, I seemed to be watching a wonderful impresaria,
manager of her troupe as well as mistress of the audience, giving
her directions to the orchestra, to the mechanicians, with an
exquisite politeness, smiling in face of the inevitable nerve-racking
circumstances, always good-natured and making herself obeyed, as
all real leaders do, by giving orders in a tone that sounds like asking
a favour.
“‘Will you be good enough to give us a little more light? Yes. That
is it. Thank you.’
“On the stage another woman in street dress, with a note-book in
her hand, very amiable, too, and very exact in her directions and
questions, took the parts of John the Baptist, half nude, of Herod in
his purple mantle, of Herodias magnificent under her veils, and
assumed the function of regisseur (one cannot yet say regisserice).
And I was struck by the smoothness of all this performance of a
complicated piece, with its movements and various changes. These
two American women, without raising their voices, quietly but with
the absolute brevity of practical people (distrust at the theatre those
who talk too much), these two women with their little hands
fashioned for command were managing the rehearsal as an expert
Amazon drives a restive horse.
“Then I had the immense pleasure of seeing this Salome in
everyday clothes dance her steps without the illusion created by
theatrical costume, with a simple strip of stuff, sometimes red and
sometimes green, for the purpose of studying the reflections on the
moving folds under the electric light. It was Salome dancing, but a
Salome in a short skirt, a Salome with a jacket over her shoulders, a
Salome in a tailor-made dress, whose hands—mobile, expressive,
tender or threatening hands, white hands, hands like the tips of birds’
wings—emerged from the clothes, imparted to them all the poetry of
the dance, of the seductive dance or the dance of fright, the infernal
dance or the dance of delight. The gleam from the footlights reflected
itself on the dancer’s glasses and blazed there like flame, like
fugitive flashes, and nothing could be at once more fantastic and
more charming than these twists of the body, these caressing
motions, these hands, again, these dream hands waving there
before Herod, superb in his theatrical mantle, and observing the
sight of the dance idealised in the everyday costume.
“I can well believe that Loie Fuller’s Salome is destined to add a
Salome unforeseen of all the Salomes that we have been privileged
to see. With M. Florent Schmitt’s music she connects the wonders of
her luminous effects. This woman, who has so profoundly influenced
the modes, the tone of materials, has discovered still further effects,
and I can imagine the picturesqueness of the movements when she
envelops herself with the black serpents which she used the other
evening only among the accessories behind the scenes.”
That evening between the two scenes, M. Claretie again spoke of
my book; and, to sum up, it is thanks to his insistence that I decided
to dip my pen in the inkwell and to begin these “memoirs.” It was a
long task, this book was, long and formidable for me. And so many
little incidents, sometimes comic and sometimes tragic, have already
recurred during the making of this manuscript that they might alone
suffice to fill a second volume.
OLD FAMILY RECORDS
I N the muniment chests of many County Families there exist,

without doubt, papers and records of very great historical and
biographical value. From time to time a book will appear based
upon such material. A preface will explain how the papers that
appear in the volume were brought to light through the industry and
enterprise of some antiquarian or man of letters, and how he had
persuaded their owner to allow to be published what he had thought
possessed interest only for himself and members of his family.
N OT only documents and correspondence relating to literary,

political, or historical matters are likely to prove of interest; but
also family papers that tell of the social or domestic life of a
past century or a bygone generation. Messrs. Herbert Jenkins Ltd.
will be pleased at any time to advise the possessors of Old Diaries,
Manuscripts, Letters, or any other description of Family Papers, as to
their suitability for publication in book form. When deemed desirable
the papers themselves, duly insured against loss or damage during
transit, will, with the consent of the owner, be submitted to experts.
O N all such matters advice will be given without involving the

possessor of the original documents in any expense or liability.
In the first instance a list of the papers upon which advice may
be required should be enclosed, giving some particulars of their
nature (if letters, by whom and to whom written), dates and
approximate extent.
