how does the increased salinity of the dead sea due to fertiliser industry impact the microscopic organisms that live there​
polet [3.4K]
The sea is called "dead" because its high salinity prevents macroscopic aquatic organisms, such as fish and aquatic plants, from living in it, though minuscule quantities of bacteria and microbial fungi are present. In times of flood, the salt content of the Dead Sea can drop from its usual 35% to 30% or lower.

Using the Brønsted theory, classify the following as either an acid or a base by placing the compound in the correct bin.
guapka [62]

Answer : The Bronsted-Lowry theory was not against the Arrhenius theory, rather it was just a modification to the previous theory of acids and bases. Hydroxide ions are considered as bases because they have the tendency to accept hydrogen ions from acids and form water.

An acid was the one which produces hydrogen ions in solution because it reacts with the water molecules by giving a proton to them.

In a nutshell, he described bases as hydrogen acceptor and acids as hydrogen donors.
