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.

Explanation:

Pipet is used to dispense a very small amount of liquid.

Test tube rack is used to hold multiple test tubes at the same time.

Test Table is used to view chemical reactions or hold or heat small amounts of substance.

Scoopula is used to dispense chemicals from a larger container.

Graduated cylinder is used to measure volume very precisely.

Bunsen burner is used to heat objects.

Beaker is used to transport heat or store substance.

Spot plate is used to observe the color changes of small quantities of a reacting mixture.

Goggles are used to protect the eyes from flying objects or chemical splashes.

Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid, C9H8O4) is a weak monoprotic acid. To determine its acid-dissociation constant, a student dissolv

Triss [41]

Answer:

1. $3.57\times 10^{-4}$ was the $K_a$ value calculated by the student.

2. $5.93\times 10^{-4}$ was the $K_b$ of ethylamine value calculated by the student.

Explanation:

1.

The $pH$ value of Aspirin solution = 2.62

$pH=-\log[H^+]$

$[H^+]=10^{-2.62}=0.00240 M$

Moles of s asprin = $\frac{2.00 g}{180 g/mol}=0.01111 mol$

Volume of the solution = 0.600 L

The initial concentration of Aspirin = c = $\frac{0.01111 mol}{0.600 L}=0.0185 M$

$HAs\rightleftharpoons As^-+H^+$

initially

c 0 0

At equilibrium

(c-x) x x

The expression of dissociation constant :

$K_a=\frac{[As^-][H^+]}{[HAs]}$ :

$K_a=\frac{x\times x }{(c-x)}$

$=\frac{0.00240 M\times 0.00240 M}{(0.0185-0.00240 )}$

$K_a=3.57\times 10^{-4}$

$3.57\times 10^{-4}$ was the $K_a$ value calculated by the student.

2.

The $pH$ value of ethylamine = 11.87

$pH+pOH=14$

$pOH=14-11.87=2.13$

$pOH=-\log[OH^-]$

$[OH^-]=10^{-2.13}=0.00741 M$

The initial concentration of ethylamine = c = 0.100 M

$C_2H_5NH_2+H_2O\rightleftharpoons C_2H_5NH_3^{+}+OH^-$

initially

c 0 0

At equilibrium

(c-x) x x

The expression of dissociation constant :

$K_b=\frac{[C_2H_5NH_3^{+}][OH^-]}{[C_2H_5NH_2]}$ :

$K_b=\frac{x\times x}{(c-x)}$

$=\frac{0.00741\times 0.00741}{(0.100-0.00741)}$

$K_b=5.93\times 10^{-4}$

$5.93\times 10^{-4}$ was the $K_b$ of ethylamine value calculated by the student.

Salt is the product formed by a reaction in which _______ atoms of an acid are replaced by the atoms of a metal.

UkoKoshka [18]

<span>Salt is the product formed by a reaction in which the hydrogen atoms of an acid are replaced by the atoms of a metal. The salt is formed as a result of the neutralization of the acid by base, that is the metal or positive ion replace the hydrogen ion in the acid. For instance: NaO + H2SO4 = NaSO4 + H2O. In this example, Na [sodium] has replaced the hydrogen in H2SO4, thereby forming the salt NaSO4.</span>
