The melting of icebergs <span>causes the salinity of ocean water to decrease.</span>

Answer:

The salinity of the sea decreases due to an increase in fresh water in the ocean from the melting of the polar ice caps.

Explanation:

Ocean water can become saltier or fresher depending on environmental factors.

 Melted ice, fresh water, will decrease the salinity of the oceans. That is, the process of oceanic desalination or decrease in salinity, known as freshening, is generated by the discharge of fresh water from the ice of glaciers into the salty water of the seas that surround it.

Washing soda is a hydrate of sodium carbonate. Elemental analysis of a sample of washing soda gave 4.20% C and 7.05% H. What is
kozerog [31]

Answer:

Na₂CO₃ · 10H₂O

Explanation:

The formula for sodium carbonate hydrate is:

Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O

The unknown "x" is the number of water molecules contained in the hydrate.

To find "x" we have to use the hydrogen percentage in the sample, 7.05 % H.

First we calculate the molecular weight of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O:

molecular weight of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O = 23 × 2 + 12 + 16 × 3 + 18x

molecular weight of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O = 106 + 18x  g/mole

Now we devise the fallowing reasoning tanking in account 1 mole of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O:

if in        106 + 18x grams of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O we have 2x grams of hydrogen

then in  100 grams of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O we have 7.05 grams of hydrogen

106 + 18x = (100 × 2x) / 7.05

106 + 18x = 28.4x

106 = 28.4x - 18x

106 = 10.4x

x = 106 / 10.4

x = 10.2 ≈ 10

The formula for the washing soda is Na₂CO₃ · 10H₂O.

Does wasting water also waste energy? Explain your reasoning.
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Wasting household water does not ultimately remove that water from the global water cycle, but it does remove it from the portion of the water cycle that is readily accessible and usable by humans. Also, "wasting" water wastes the energy and resources that were used to process and deliver the water.

Identify the mixture of alcohol and water and suggest a technique for separating their components.
Anarel [89]
The mixture of alcohol and water is a homogeneous mixture where the components are thoroughly mixed and cannot be separated by naked eyes.

The easiest way to separate alcohol from water is by boiling the mixture. The boiling point of alcohol is lower than that of water. Therefore, alcohol will turn into steam before water. This steam can easily be condensed into a separate container.

What mass of water vapor is produced from the gas phase reaction of O2 with H2 in a 2.5 L container at 28 °C if the partial pres
Bumek [7]

Answer:2.27 g H2O

Explanation:

Step 1. Get the limiting reagent

1.24 atm of H2 would react completely with 1.24 x (1/2) = 0.62 atm of O2, but there is more O2 present than that (0.98). O2 is in excess and H2 is the limiting reactant.

If the reaction goes to completion:

(1.24 atm H2) x (2 mol H2O / 2 mol H2) = 1.24 atm H2O vapor

n = PV / RT = (1.24 atm) x (2.5 L) / ((0.08205746 L atm/K mol) x (28 + 273)K) = 0.126 mol H2O

(0.126 mol H2O) x (18.01532 g H2O/mol) = 2.27 g H2O
