Which of the following drives global thermohaline (conveyor belt) circulation?

Chemistry

changes in density

Explanation:

The global thermohaline (conveyor belt) circulation is caused by changes in global ocean density.

The ocean water density is determined by the temperature and salt content of the ocean (thermo - heat and haline - salt).

  • Surface current drives warm and less water away for the equator towards the poles.
  • At the poles they become cold  and very dense sinking to the bottom and moving towards the equator back.
  • It is also called the ocean conveyor belt

what is molarity of a sodium hydroxide solution made by combining 2.0 L of 0.60 M NaOH with 495 mL of 3.0 M NaOH? Assume the vol
hammer [34]

Answer:

Molarity of the sodium hydroxide solution is 1.443 M/L

Explanation:

Given;

0.60 M concentration of NaOH contains 2.0 L

3.0 M concentration of NaOH contains 495 mL

Molarity is given as concentration of the solute per liters of the solvent.

If the volumes of the two solutions are additive, then;

the total volume of NaOH = 2 L + 0.495 L = 2.495 L

the total concentration of NaOH = 0.6 M + 3.0 M = 3.6 M

Molarity of NaOH solution = 3.6 / 2.495

Molarity of NaOH solution = 1.443 M/L

Therefore, molarity of the sodium hydroxide solution is 1.443 M/L

• How did your experimental absolute zero value compare to the accepted value?
Murrr4er [49]

The experimental absolute zero value is less when compared to the accepted value of absolute zero.

<h3>What is absolute zero?</h3>

Absolute zero is defined as the temperature in which the lowest energy possible is attained in a thermodynamic system.

Absolute zero temperature has an accepted values of 0 Kelvin or -273.15 degrees Celsius.

At absolute zero, it is assumed that the volume of an ideal gas becomes zero. However, it has not been possible to cool any gas to absolute zero.

Based on the graph of temperature against volume of gases, the experimental absolute zero extrapolated from the graph where volume of the gases becomes zero is -285 degrees Celsius.

Therefore, the experimental absolute zero value is less when compared to the accepted value.

What is produced in the electrolysis of brine?
ziro4ka [17]

High concentration of water and salt is the main ingredient of brine. Salt being NaCl and water make brain and important solution in making of chlorine.

Electric terminals are put inside the solutions and with the help of electric current the chemical properties of the solution are changed such that we get chlorine as outcome. This process is carried out in a large scale to get chlorine from NaCl in solution and is called electrolysis of Brine.
