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.

what Is the number of photons in one J of red light (650 nm) greater than, equal to, or less than the number of photons in one J
valentinak56 [21]
For the same amount of energy, the number of photons in red light will be greater than the number of photons in blue light.
This is because the energy carried by a photon is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the photon. A longer wavelength means there is a lower energy in the photons and a shorter wavelength means that there is a higher energy. Therefore, in order for the photons to deliver one joule of energy, more of the red light photons will be required.

if 100. mL of 0.800 M Na2SO4 is added to 200. mL of 1.20 M NaCl, what is the concentration of Na+ ions in the final solution? As
Black_prince [1.1K]
Compounds Na₂SO₄ and NaCl are mixed together are we are asked to find the concentration of Na⁺ in the mixture 
Na₂SO₄ ---> 2 Na⁺ + SO₄³⁻

1 mol of Na₂SO₄ gives out 2 mol of Na⁺ ions 

the number of Na₂SO₄ moles added - 0.800 M/1000 * 100 ml
                                                         = 0.08 mol
therefore number of Na⁺ ions from Na₂SO₄ = 0.08 * 2 = 0.16 mol

NaCl ----> Na⁺ + Cl⁻ 
1 mol of NaCl gives 1 mol of Na⁺ ions
number of NaCl moles added = 1.20 M/1000 * 200 ml
                                               = 0.24 mol
number of Na⁺ ions from NaCl = 0.24 mol

total number of Na⁺ ions in the mixture = 0.16 mol + 0.24 mol = 0.4 mol
as stated the volumes are additive, 
therefore total volume  = 100 ml + 200 ml = 300 ml 
the concentration of Na⁺ ions = number of moles / volume 
                                              = 0.4 mol/ 0.3 dm³
concentration of Na⁺ = 1.33 mol/dm³

How is a model of an atom different from a real atom? A. A model of an atom is not as big as an actual atom. B. A model of an at
tatyana61 [14]
The option that would best contrast the real and the model atoms is letter "D. model of an atom is not as small as an actual atom". The size of an atom is said to be no more than 0.1 to 0.5 nanometers. The models are used to proper illustrate the atom's physical attributes. That is why, it needs to be bigger in size.

What type of compound involves the transfer of electrons?
astra-53 [7]

Answer: Electrovalent or Ionic Compounds

Explanation:

Electrovalent Compounds Form bonds that are characterised by transfer of electrons from metallic atoms to non-metal licenses atoms during a chemical reaction.

The metallic atom after donating their valence electrons, become positively charged, while the non-metal license atoms becomes negatively charged after acquiring extra electrons.

A typical example of electrovalent compounds can be found between the association of Group 1(Alkali Metals) elements and the Group 7(Halogen Family) elements.
