Answer:
Total worth of gold in the ocean = $5,840,000,000,000,000
Explanation:
As stated in the question above, 4.0 x 10^-10 g of gold was present in 2.1mL of ocean water.
Therefore, In 1 L of ocean water there will be,
(4.0 x 10^-10)/0.0021
= 1.9045 x 10^-7 g of gold per Liter of ocean water.
So in 1.5 x 10^-21 L of ocean water, there will be
(1.9045 x 10^-7) * (1.5 x 10^-21)
= 2.857 x 10^14 g of gold in the ocean.
1 gram of gold costs $20.44, that is 20.44 dollars/gram. The total cost of the gold present in the ocean is
20.44 * (2.857 x 10^14)
= $5,840,000,000,000,000
It is effected by diffusion (the power of smell and wind spread) but a solid is not.
Answer:
In heavily deforested areas, soil erosion and nutrient runoff are common after a rainfall. Soil erosion tends to be greater in drier, more mountainous areas, where there is less vegetation to prevent the movement of soil and to absorb the nutrients
