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.

A compound is composed of 58.8% c, 9.8% h, and 31.4% o, and the molar mass is 102 g/mol. what is the molecular formula for this
Ivahew [28]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

<span>Moles of carbon = 58.8 / 12 = 4.9 </span><span>
<span>Moles of hydrogen = 9.8 / 1 = 9.8 </span>
<span>Moles of oxugen = 31.4 / 16 m= 1.96 </span>
<span>Ratio 4.9 / 1.96 = 2.5 9.8 / 1.96 = 5.0 1.96 / 1.96 = 1 </span></span>

Simplest formula = C5H10<span>


</span><span>I hope this helps and if you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask again.</span>

Write a covalent compound formed by nitrogen and oxygen. what is its Lewis structure​
iragen [17]

Answer:

Two covalent bonds form between the two oxygen atoms because oxygen requires two shared electrons to fill its outermost shell. Nitrogen atoms will form three covalent bonds (also called triple covalent) between two atoms of nitrogen because each nitrogen atom needs three electrons to fill its outermost shell.
