Answer:

They add to its hardness.

Explanation:

Hello,

Water in ecosystems are likely to have dissolved metallic cations such those alkalies and alkaline earth metals form when present in aqueous systems, in this manner, more specifically speaking, calcium ions promote the formation of unsoluble salts such as calcium carbonate, which lead to the increase of the water's hardness that accounts for such cation's content into the water. Therefore, among the following options:

A. They reduce its pH.

B. They decrease its salinity.

C. They add to its hardness.

D. They increase its acidity.

The correct is C. They add to its hardness.

Best regards.

How did the Bohr model of the atom affect scientific thought?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

C. Scientists accepted the model at first but later rejected it.  

Explanation:

Scientists accepted the model at first because it explained the hydrogen emission spectrum.

However, with the development of quantum mechanics, scientists had to modify the model (not reject it).

Electrons still had specific energies, but they no longer travelled in fixed orbits.

Instead, electrons had a probability of being found in a given region of space.

Suppose there are two known compounds containing the generic elements X and Y. You have a 1.00-g sample of each compound. One sa
Lapatulllka [165]

I think the correct answers are X2Y and X3Y, X2Y5 and X3Y5, and X4Y2 and X3Y, for the following reason: 

If you look at the combining masses of X and Y in each of the two compounds, 

The first compound contains 0.25g of X combined with 0.75g of Y 
so the ratio (by mass) of X to Y = 1 : 3 

The second compound contains 0.33 g of X combined with 0.67 g of Y 
so the ratio (by mass) of X to Y = 1 : 2 

Now, you suppose to prepare each of these two compounds, starting with the same fixed mass of element Y ( I will choose 12g of Y for an easy calculation!) 

The first compound will then contain 4g of X and 12g of Y 
The second compound will then contain 6g of X and 12g of Y 

<span>The ratio which combined the masses of X and the fixed mass (12g) of Y
= 4 : 6 
<span>or 2 : 3 </span>

So, the ratio of MOLES of X which combined with the fixed amount of Y in the two compounds is also = 2 : 3 </span>

The two compounds given with the plausible formula must therefore contain the same ratio.
