Answer:
The correct answer is Sugar has a greater solubility than sand.
Sugar will easily dissolve in water because it has a lower density than sand, therefore it has a greater solubility.
Answer:
CaCO3 exoskeleton dissolves in acidic water
Explanation:
The increasing CO2 level makes the ocean water acidic and hence reduces the pH. In such acidic environment, marine organism that produce calcium carbonate shells or skeletons are negatively affected. Coral reefs and coralline algae abilities to produce skeleton also reduces.
Calcium carbonate dissolves in acid. Thus, the more acidic the ocean water is the faster and easier it is to dissolve the exoskeleton and shell of marine organisms made up of calcium carbonate
There are certain rules to follow when naming covalent compounds. But first, let us look at the definition of Covalent Compounds.
<h3>
What are Covalent Compounds?</h3>
When covalent bonds aid the creation of a molecule, in which the atoms have at least one similar pair of valence electrons, a covalent compound is said to have been formed.
A very common example is water (H₂O)
<h3>
How are Covalent Compounds named?</h3>
To name a covalent compound, simply list the first element in the formula using the name of the element, then name the second element by adding the suffix "ide" to the stem of the second element's name.
If there is only one atom in the molecule of the first element, then no prefix should be added.
It is to be noted that if the second element in the compound is oxygen, then we should say:
- monox<em>ide</em> instead of monoox<em>ide</em> and
- triox<em>ide</em> instead of trox<em>ide</em>, all depending on how many atoms that are involved.
See the attached for the prefixes related to the various number of atoms in the compounds.
It is to be noted that the covalent compound to be named here is not stated hence the general answer.
