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.

KiRa [710]

Answer:

[Cl⁻] = 0.016M

Explanation:

First of all, we determine the reaction:

Pb(NO₃)₂ (aq) + MgCl₂ (aq) → PbCl₂ (s) ↓  +  Mg(NO₃)₂(aq)

This is a solubility equilibrium, where you have a precipitate formed, lead(II) chloride. This salt can be dissociated as:

           PbCl₂(s)  ⇄  Pb²⁺ (aq)  +  2Cl⁻ (aq)     Kps

Initial        x

React       s

Eq          x - s              s                  2s

As this is an equilibrium, the Kps works as the constant (Solubility product):

Kps = s . (2s)²

Kps = 4s³ = 1.7ₓ10⁻⁵

4s³ = 1.7ₓ10⁻⁵

s =  ∛(1.7ₓ10⁻⁵ . 1/4)

s = 0.016 M

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Exothermic Reactions.

Explanation:

Reactions that release energy are called exothermic reactions.

Whereas that absorb energy are called Endothermic reactions.

More energy is being released to the surroundings than was absorbed to initiate and maintain the reaction in case of exothermic reactions.

Burning of a candle is an exothermic reaction.

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

.176 M

Explanation:

set the number of moles of the base equal to the number of moles of acid.

(1.008 mol/L)(26.23 x 10^-3 L)=(150.2x10^-3 L)(x)

x = .176030892 mol/L
