How does increased air temperatures affect salinity of the oceans and the great

Chemistry

Increased air temperatures decrease the salinity of the ocean since more ice is melting adding more fresh water to the oceans, therefore slowing down the great ocean conveyor belt.

<h3>What is an ocean conveyor belt?</h3>

Ocean conveyor belt system in which water moves between the cold depths and warm surface in oceans throughout the world.

Increases in temperatures of surrounding entities like ice and an increase in precipitation adds fresh water into the sea, which lower salinity. Seawater with lower salinity is lighter in density and won't sink as much as denser water.

As the seawater gets saltier, its density increases, and it starts to sink. Surface water is pulled in to replace the sinking water, which in turn eventually becomes cold and salty enough to sink. This initiates the deep-ocean currents driving the global conveyer belt.

Hence, option A is correct.

#3 of thermo terms
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

If the enthalpy change (i.e. Δ<em>H</em>) of a reaction is negative, then the reaction releases heat and is hence exothermic.

Hence, our answer is C.

Conversely, if Δ<em>H</em> is positive, the reaction absorbs heat and is endothermic.

Δ<em>H</em> tells us nothing about the speed of the reaction.

While Δ<em>H</em> influences free-energy change (Δ<em>G</em> = Δ<em>H</em> - <em>T</em>Δ<em>S</em>), we cannot predict the sign of Δ<em>G</em> given only Δ<em>H </em>(recall that a reaction is spontaneous if Δ<em>G</em> < 0).

The student repeated the experiment using a higher concentration of acid. The same volume of acid and the same mass of magnesium
Elena L [17]

Answer:

53 cm³

Explanation:

When the student used dilute sulfuric acid, the reaction was complete after 60 s, because no more hydrogen was formed in the next 10 s.

The reaction would go faster if the student used a more concentrated acid, but 53 cm³ of hydrogen is the most that would form.

The mass of 2.50 moles of calcium fluoride (CaF2) is how many grams ?
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

195.199grams

Explanation:

Fluorine has a molar mass of 18.99984 while calcium has a molar mass of calcium is 40.08.

1 mole of  calcium fluoride has a mass of 40.08+2×18.99984

=78.0797 grams

if one mole has a mass of 78.0797 grams, then 2.5 moles have:

2.5 moles× 78.0797 grams/mole= 195.1992 grams
