Which of the following describes a property of water that helps sustain marine life forms?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Mariana [72]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Open spaces in water's solid structure makes its solid state less dense than its liquid state.

Explanation:

  • Water unlike other liquids is special. It contracts when cooled, down to a temperature of 4°C but thereafter begins to expand as it reaches 0°C and turns into ice.
  • This property is useful for the preservation of marine life in very cold temperatures. During winter, the surface water in water lakes and rivers starts cooling. Upon reaching the temperature of 4°C, the surface water descends to the bottom as it denser.
  • This help in the maintenance of temperature of the water at the bottom at 4°C. It is in this layer that marine life is sustained.

The halogens are in Group 7 of the periodic table.
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

When it comes to the trend of reactivity in halogens, the reactivity decreases down the table. This is because in the nucleus of the atoms (mix of protons and neutrons), there is less of an attraction of the protons to the electrons on the outer shell, which gets further away going down. Since halogens are non metals, they need to gain electrons to become stable, and so this lesser attraction to the electrons may not allow this at least immediately. Fluorine is the most reactive out of all, have less of its outer shells and so being able to react much quickly.

When the concentration of hydronium ions equals the concentration of hydroxide ions, it is called the _____.
Valentin [98]
When the concentration of H₃O⁺ becomes equal to the concentration of OH⁻ ions, it is called the Neutral Solution.

Example:
              A neutral water with pH 7 contains Hydronium and Hydroxyl ions in following number,

                      [H₃O⁺]  =  1.0 × 10⁻⁷ M

                      [OH⁻]   =  1.0 × 10⁻⁷ M

What is the molarity of HCl if 34.81 mL of a solution of HCl contain 0.3297 g of HCl?
Temka [501]

Answer:

0.2598 M

Explanation:

Molarity is mol/L, so we have to convert the grams to moles and the mL to L. To convert between grams and moles you need the molar mass of the compound, which is 36.46g/mol.

0.3297gHCl*\frac{1molHCl}{36.46gHCL} = 0.00904279 mol HCl

34.81 mLHCl * \frac{1L}{1000L} = 0.03481 L HCl

\frac{0.00904279molHCl}{0.03481 L HCl} = 0.25977554 mol/L

Round to the lowest number of significant figures = 0.2598 M
