A 1.0-ml volume of seawater contains about 4.0 3 10212 g of gold. the total volume of ocean water is 1.5 3 1021 l. calculate the

total amount of gold (in grams) that is present in seawater, and the worth of the gold in dollars (see problem 1.82). with so much gold out there, why hasn't someone become rich by mining gold from the ocean?

Given the volume of water = 1.0 mL

Mass of gold = 4.0*10^{-12}g

Total volume of sea water = 1.5 * 10^{21} L

Mass of gold in total sea water

= 1.5 * 10^{21} L*\frac{1000 mL}{1 L} * \frac{4.0*10^{-12}g}{1.0 mL}

=6.0*10^{12}g

1 oz gold costs $948

Worth of gold in dollars = 6.0*10^{12}g*\frac{1 oz}{28.3495 g} *\frac{948 dollars}{1oz}

= $2.0 * 10^{14} /1 oz

Mining of gold from oceans is not practically possible, as gold is spread through out the ocean and processing gold from such vast oceanic waters is not economical and the extraction process is inefficient.

How would life be different without polythene
Alexxx [7]
Without plastic, we wouldn't have as much of an environmental problem as we have now. Even though plastic has a lot of negatives, it's also made our lives a lot easier over past years. ... Our cars would have been different since a lot of the materials used inside are made out of plastic.

Which of the following is a basic solution? HCl dissolved in water b. household ammonia c. vinegar d. pure water
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

B. Household ammonia.

Explanation:

NH₃ is a base, so the solution always will be basic.

NH₃ takes the proton from the water. In conclusion we have free OH⁻ in medium, that's why the solution is basic.

NH₃ + H₂O → NH₄⁺  +  OH⁻

- HCl + H₂O → H₃O⁺  + Cl⁻

This reaction makes an acid solution, cause the H₃O⁺

- Vinegar is a compound made of acetic acid.

CH₃COOH  + H₂O  ⇄  H₃O⁺  +  CH₃COO⁻

This reaction also makes an acid solution, cause the H₃O⁺

- Pure water makes neutral solution. It is not acid, neither basic.

2H₂O ⇄  H₃O⁺  +  OH⁻
