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.

Find the mass of one atom of uranium-235. Recall that the mass in atomic mass units is equal to the mass in grams of one mole of
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

3.90*10^{-25}kg/atom

Explanation:

The molar mass of uranium-235 is 235 g/mol. So one mole of uranium-235 has a mass of 235 g. Put differently 6.022×10^23 atoms of uranium-235 have a mass of 235 g. Knowing that, how can we use that to find the mass of one atom?

mass of one atom = \frac{235 g}{1mol} *\frac{1 mol}{6.022*10^{23}atoms } *\frac{1kg}{1000g}= 3.90*10^{-25}kg/atom

Four people weigh a standard mass of 10.00g on the same balance. Which of the following sets of readings suggests measurements t
Svetach [21]
An example of accurate but not precise would be 3 people weigh a 10g sample. the weights are 0g, 10g, & 20 grams. the scale is way off but the weights average to the right thing.
precise but not accurate would weighing a 10g sample 3 times and getting 5.5, 5.4, & 5.5. they'e all incredibly similar therefore precise but its nowhere near 10, so not accurate. 
neither precise nor accurate would be 3 weights being 10, 20, &30. It averages wrong and is imprecise.

You have 180 g of radium that takes up 36 cm ^ 3 of space if you were to cut it in half and have only 90 g
Leno4ka [110]

If you were to cut the radium  in half and have only 90 g, it will take up 18 cm³.

<h3>What is density?</h3>

The density of an object is the ratio of mass to volume of object.

Density = mass/volume

volume = mass/density

at a constant density, the volume of an object is proportional to its mass.

From the question, you have 180 g of radium that takes up 36 cm ^ 3 of space if you were to cut it in half and have only 90 g, the new mass will take the following volume.

180 g = 36 cm³

90 g =  ?

= (90 x 36) / 180

= 18 cm³

Thus, if you were to cut the radium  in half and have only 90 g, it will take up 18 cm³.
