Because medications contains chemicals, it would dissolve into the water and not only would it pollute the water, it could flow out into areas where people are exposed to these waters.

What causes water to become denser when it is carried to the poles by surface currents? increased temperature and increased sali
Anarel [89]

Answer:

The answer is decreased temperature and increased salinity

Explanation:

It is what is known as the thermohaline circulation

The thermohaline circulation moves the water slowly. This water moves mainly due to differences in its relative density. Much denser water sinks over water that is less dense. Two factors impact the density of seawater: temperature and salinity.

Cold water is denser than hot water:

-Water cools when it loses heat, it occurs at high latitudes.

-Water is heated when it receives energy from the sun, at low latitudes.

Saltier water is much denser than water that has less salt:

-Sea water becomes salty if the evaporation rate increases.

-Sea water becomes less salty if there is a water inlet over the sea.

Positive Deviation from Raoult's Law occurs when the vapour pressure of component is greater than what is expected in Raoult's L
8090 [49]

Answer:

All of the above.

Explanation:

In positive deviation from Raoult's  Law occur when the vapour pressure of components is greater than what is expected value in Raoult's law.

When a solution is non ideal then it shows positive or negative deviation.

Let two solutions A and B to form non- ideal solutions.let the vapour pressure  of component A is P_A and vapour pressure of component B is P_B.

P^0_A= Vapour pressure of component A in pure form

P^0_B= Vapour pressure of component B in pure form

x_A=Mole fraction of component A

x_B==Mole fraction of component B

The interaction between A- B is less than the interaction A- A and B-B interaction.Therefore, the escaping tendency of liquid molecules in mixture is greater than the escaping tendency in pure form.Hence, the vapour pressure of a mixture is greater than the initial value of vapour pressure.

P_A >P^0_A\cdot x_A,P_B>P^0_B\cdot x_B

Therefore, P_A+P_B >P^0_A\cdot x_A+P^0_B \cdot x_B

Therefore, the enthalpy of mixing is greater than zero and change in volume is greater than zero.

Hence, option a,b,c and d are true.
