\boxed{{\text{Chemical weathering of rocks}}} is a source of dissolved substances in the ocean.

Further Explanation:

More than 70 % of earth’s surface is occupied by water that is obtained from various seas and oceans. Water in the oceans not only contains pure water, but has several other substances present in it. These substances include different chemicals like sodium chloride, sulfates, potassium, calcium, and magnesium.

When evaporation of ocean water occurs, it removes water from it and salt is left behind so it results in an increase in the salinity of ocean water but cannot act as source of dissolved substances present in water of seas and oceans.Excretions of marine organisms result in secretion of nitrogenous substances and are efficient in water removal from the rectum. Melting of icebergs and sea ice has no effect on the sea level as they were already present inside it.

The process by which large and big rocks are broken down due to various chemical reactions of water and other substances in it is called chemical weathering of rocks. Five major types of chemical weathering include carbonation, oxidation, dehydration, hydration and hydrolysis. When rain pours down, it gets mixed with carbon dioxide of air and carbonic acid is produced, which then flows down and reacts with rocks. This leads to dissolution of some parts of rocks and hence chemical weathering of rocks acts as source of dissolved substances in water.

Hence option a is correct.

The best answer among the choices given is option A. Chemical weathering of rocks is a source of dissolved substances in the ocean. It is a process that involves the erosion of rocks due to chemical reactions by water and substances dissolved in  the water. Therefore, it most likely the source of dissolved substances.

Which of the following correctly describes one way that photosynthetic plants are involved in the carbon cycle? Choose 1 answer:
brilliants [131]

Answer:

The correct answer is - (Choice A) A Photosynthetic plants can move carbon from the atmosphere into an ecosystem’s food web.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process performed by photosynthetic or green plants in presence of light atmospheric carbon dioxide and water converted into glucose (6 carbon compound) and oxygen.

This glucose or sugar is utilized by the plants that are producers in the ecosystem food web. These producers are fed by consumers and carbon molecules transfer from all the trophic levels in the food chain or food web in the process.

Toothpaste contains Sodium fluoride which is used to prevent tooth decay. How many grams are in 1 mole NaF?
nikitadnepr [17]

The answer is 42 grams of NaF are there in 1 mole.

<h3>What is a mole ?</h3>

A mole is defined as 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, ions, or other chemical units.

and the molar mass of a substance is defined as the mass of 1 mole of that substance, expressed in grams per mole.

It is equal to the mass of 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, or formula units of that substance.

Molar Mass , i.e. mass of 1 mole of NaF is sum of molar mass of Na and F

23 + 19

42 grams

Therefore 42 grams of NaF Sodium-fluoride are there in 1 mole.

At STP, which substance has metallic bonding?
kogti [31]
Silver has metallic bonding.

Silver is a very typical and main metal. The negatively charged electrons distribute themselves throughout the entire piece of metal and form non directional bonds between the positive silver ions, which is metallic bonding, and what silver contributes.
