Where would the temperature of the ocean's surface water be the lowest?

Chemistry

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The temperature of the sea surface water (ocean surface water) is maximum at the equatorial region and minimum at the polar region. It is because the equatorial region receives the maximum amount of sunlight as a result of which the sea water temperature remains relatively high.

On the other hand, the sea surface water temperature is low at the polar region (higher altitude region) because the sunlight is not able to reach this place, and even if they reach it cannot cause much effect of heat on the water.

The salinity of the water is maximum at the the mid latitudinal region and minimum at the equator and at the poles of both the hemisphere.

The density of the water is maximum at the poles and minimum at the equator.

Thus, the sea surface temperature is lowest at higher latitudinal areas, specially in and around the polar region.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

Answer:

The correct answer is option C, areas with a high salinity

Explanation:

The higher the density of the ocean water, the lower will be the temperature. The highly saline ocean water thus exists in the polar regions than the tropic regions. Due to high density the cold water seeps down and thus it further becomes cooler while a low density ocean water remains at the surface and possess additional heat

How many liters of air must react with 2500 mL of hexane in order for combustion to occur completely. The percentage of oxygen i
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

118750 ml

Explanation:

The chemical equation for complete combustion of hexane is given as;

2C6H14 + 19O2 → 12CO2 + 14H2O  

From the equation of the reaction;

2 mol of C6H14 reacts with 19 mol of O2

2 ml of C6H14 reacts with 19 ml of O2

2500 mL of C6H14 would react with x ml of O2

2 = 19

2500 = x

x = 2500 * 19 / 2 = 23750 ml

Since oxygen is 20% of air;

23750 = 20 / 100 * (Volume of air)

Volume of air = 23750 * 100 / 20 = 118750 ml

Which compound is an Arrhenius base?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
I was hoping that some choices would be given to choose from. As there are no choices given, so i am answering the question based on my knowledge and hope that it comes to your help. Calcium hydroxide is a good example of Arrhenius base. An Arrhenius base is actually a substance that releases a hydroxyl ion in water.

Why does potassium explode when exposed to water?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The highly unstable pure sodium or potassium wants to lose an electron and this splits the water atom, producing a negatively charged hydroxide ion and hydrogen and forming an explosive gas that ignites.
