\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.

Describe the overall enthalpy of the chemical reactants compared to the enthalpy of the chemical products in the combustion of p
Veronika [31]

Answer:

A thermochemical equation for the combustion of propane (C3H8)(C3H8) is written as follows:

C3H8(l)+5O2(g)→3CO2(g)+4H2O(g);ΔH∘rxnC3H8(l)+5O2(g)→3CO2(g)+4H2O(g);ΔHrxn∘ = -2202.0 kJ/mol

The value given for ΔH∘rxnΔHrxn∘ means that:

a. the reaction of one mole of propane absorbs 2202 kJ of energy from the surroundings.

b. the reaction is endothermic.

c. the enthalpy of formation of propane is 2202 kJ/mol.

d. the reaction of one mole of propane releases 2202 kJ of energy to the surroundings.

e. None of these.

Which of the following statements is true for an exothermic reaction?
shutvik [7]
The enthalpy change for an exothermic reaction is negative because heat is being released, so that takes out two of the responses. Since energy is being released into the surroundings due to the exothermic reaction, the potential energy of the products is lower than that of the reactants. Energy is being put in to make the reaction occur, but then that energy is all being released into the surroundings thus a lower potential energy level for the products

How does an electromagnet create a magnetic field
777dan777 [17]
An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current. Electromagnets usually consist of wire wound into a coil. A current through the wire create a magnetic field which is concentrated in the hole, denoting the center of the coil
