Temperature, salinity, and density are the group of factors are most important in determining the composition of ocean water.
a.)temperature, salinity, and density
<u>Explanation:</u>
The three fundamental factors that help in determining the composition of ocean water are temperature, salinity, and density. Temperature, saltiness, salinity, and density influence the thickness of seawater.
Enormous water masses of various densities are significant in the layering of the sea water (increasingly thick water sinks). As temperature builds water turns out to be less thick. As saltiness builds water gets denser. The temperature helps in deciding the pace of vanishing of the ocean.
Equilibrium expression is ![Keq = \frac{[H3O+][HCO3^-]}{[H2CO3]}\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Keq%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BH3O%2B%5D%5BHCO3%5E-%5D%7D%7B%5BH2CO3%5D%7D%5C%5C)
<u>Explanation:</u>
Equilibrium expression is denoted by Keq.
Keq is the equilibrium constant that is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power its stoichiometric coefficients.
Example -
aA + bB = cC + dD
So, Keq = conc of product/ conc of reactant
![Keq = \frac{[C]^c [D]^d}{[A]^a [B]^b}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Keq%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BC%5D%5Ec%20%5BD%5D%5Ed%7D%7B%5BA%5D%5Ea%20%5BB%5D%5Eb%7D)
So from the equation, H₂CO₃+H₂O = H₃O+HCO₃⁻¹
![Keq = \frac{[H3O^+]^1 [HCO3^-]^1}{[H2CO3]^1 [H2O]^1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Keq%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BH3O%5E%2B%5D%5E1%20%5BHCO3%5E-%5D%5E1%7D%7B%5BH2CO3%5D%5E1%20%5BH2O%5D%5E1%7D)
The concentration of pure solid and liquid is considered as 1. Therefore, concentration of H2O is 1.
Thus,
![Keq = \frac{[H3O+][HCO3^-]}{[H2CO3]}\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Keq%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BH3O%2B%5D%5BHCO3%5E-%5D%7D%7B%5BH2CO3%5D%7D%5C%5C)
Therefore, Equilibrium expression is ![Keq = \frac{[H3O+][HCO3^-]}{[H2CO3]}\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Keq%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BH3O%2B%5D%5BHCO3%5E-%5D%7D%7B%5BH2CO3%5D%7D%5C%5C)
B. the tilt of the Earth on it's axis
The moon affects the tides by it's gravitational pull on Earth. So the moon has no affect on the earth's seasons. The distance from earth from the sun only affects the ability of Earth to sustain liquid water because earth is in something scientists like to call the "Goldilocks Zone" This has no affect on the seasons. However, the angle at which the sun's light hit the earth does effect seasonal changes and it's tilt does change.
