Question

Given figure represents pH, partial pressure of CO$_2$ (pCO$_2$), and temperature (T) in an experiment conducted in a water sample over 20 days. Which of the following statements can definitely be made based on this experiment?

The correct answer is
There is a decrease in pH and an increase in both T and pCO$_2$ over 20 days.

The given figure shows the variation of partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2), pH, and temperature (T) over 20 days in a water sample. We need to analyze this data to determine which statement can definitely be made based on the experiment.

  1. Analyzing the graph for pCO2:
    • pCO2 starts at a lower value and increases over the 20 days.
  2. Analyzing the graph for pH:
    • pH starts high and decreases over the 20 days.
  3. Analyzing the graph for temperature (T):
    • Temperature starts lower and increases over the 20 days.

Based on the analyzed data, we can conclude the following about the provided options:

  • High CO2 causes global warming: While this statement is scientifically relevant, it is not directly supported or proven by the data from this specific experiment.
  • High temperature causes acidification: While increased temperature can lead to acidification, this statement cannot be definitively concluded solely from the given graphs.
  • There is a decrease in pH and an increase in both T and pCO2 over 20 days: This statement directly corresponds with the observed data from the graphs.
  • pH and pCO2 are positively correlated while pH and T are inversely correlated: The graphs show a decrease in pH while both T and pCO2 increase, which suggests a negative correlation with pH for both factors rather than a positive one with pCO2.

Therefore, the statement that can definitely be made based on the experiment is:

There is a decrease in pH and an increase in both T and pCO2 over 20 days.
