Answer:

There are 5.408\times 10^{22} grams contained in all the seawater in the world.

Explanation:

At first let is determinate the total mass of seawater (m_{sw}), measured in grams, in the world by definition of density and considering that mass is distributed uniformly:

m_{sw} = \rho_{sw}\cdot V_{sw}

Where:

\rho_{sw} - Density of seawater, measured in grams per liters.

V_{sw} - Volume of seawater, measured in liters.

If V_{sw} = 1.5\times 10^{21}\,L and \rho_{sw} = 1030\,\frac{g}{L}, then:

m_{sw}=\left(1030\,\frac{g}{L} \right)\cdot (1.5\times 10^{21}\,L)

m_{sw} = 1.545\times 10^{24}\,g

The total mass of sodium chloride is determined by the following ratio:

r = \frac{m_{NaCl}}{m_{sw}}

m_{NaCl} = r\cdot m_{sw}

Given that m_{sw} = 1.545\times 10^{24}\,g and r = 0.035, the total mass of sodium chloride in all the seawater in the world is:

m_{NaCl} = 0.035\cdot (1.545\times 10^{24}\,g)

m_{NaCl} = 5.408\times 10^{22}\,g

There are 5.408\times 10^{22} grams contained in all the seawater in the world.

Give two reasons why the flame test is sometimes invalid
zlopas [31]
The two reason behind the invalidity of flame test are false positive and false negative.
while performing the flame test you must have to be accurate otherwise you will get false results may be positive for some element or may be negative in case the element is present. The main reason to get the false positive and false negative is the presence and contamination of sodium.

To determine the absolute age of rocks and fossils, geologists use _____.
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The rates of decay of radioactive elements

Explanation:

The age of a rock in years is called its absolute age. Geologists find absolute ages by measuring the amount of certain radioactive elements in the rock. When rocks are formed, small amounts of radioactive elements usually get included.
