Answer:

Thermocline separate these two layers.

Explanation:

Ocean consist of three major layers on the basis of temperature.

1. Upper layer

2. Deep layer

3. Thermocline

Upper layer:

The first layer is called upper layer which is present on the surface and directly expose to the sun. The sun heat up this upper layer easily and warm it.

Deep layer

The deep layer is present below the thermocline. It is present in deep where sunlight can not approach to it and its temperature remain low.

Thermocline

It is the middle layer, present between the upper and deep layer. It separated the upper layer from deep layer. Its upper portion is warmer while lower is colder.

8. Consider the element Scandium, atomic # 21.
yawa3891 [41]

Explanation:

Scandium has atomic number of 21. This means that in it's neutral state its going to have 21 electrons.

a) The full electronic configuration is given as;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d1 4s2

The final electron is placed in the d orbital. The shell is 3d

(b) When scandium has a charge if +1, it has lost an electron. The total number of electrons would now be 21-1 = 20

The electronic configuration would be given as;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2

The electron in the 3d orbital would be removed.

The accepted value for the percent by mass of water in a hydrate is 36.0%. In a laboratory activity, a student determined the pe
valentina_108 [34]
The original or accepted value for the percent by mass of water in a hydrate = 36%
Percen by mass of water in the hydrate determined by the student
in the laboratory = 37.8%
So the difference between the actual and the percent by mass in water determined by student = (37.8 - 36.0)%
             = 1.8%
So the percentage of error made by the student = (1.8/36) * 100 percent
                                                                             = (18/360) * 100 percent
                                                                             = ( 1/20) * 100 percent
                                                                              = 5 percent
So the student makes an error of 5%. Option "1" is the correct option.
