Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

The under-water deep ocean currents that are generated due to the differences in the water density are generally termed as the thermohaline circulation. It is mainly controlled by the two factors namely the temperature and the salinity. The word 'thermohaline' is directly derived from the temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline).

This thermohaline circulation is considered as the oceanic conveyor belt that allows the water to move under the surface of water at certain depths from the equator to the poles and back from the poles to the equator.

Thus, it is directly associated with the density of the water. It has no relation with the wind.

Hence, the above statement is False.

Saturated aqueous sodium chloride(d=1.2g/mL) is added to the following mixtures in order to dry the organic layer. Which layer i

natali 33 [55]

(a) at the bottom - high density organic compound dissolved in methylene chloride

(b) at the bottom - saturated aqueous sodium chloride

Explanation:

Sodium chloride is dissolved in water while the organic compounds are dissolved in methylene chloride. After mixing the two solutions two layers will form because water (polar molecule) will not mix with the methylene chloride (nonpolar molecule).

The layer with higher density will be at the bottom.

(a) saturated aqueous sodium chloride (d = 1.2 g/mL) - upper layer

high density organic compound dissolved in methylene chloride (d = 1.4 g/mL) - bottom layer

(b) saturated aqueous sodium chloride (d = 1.2 g/mL) - bottom layer

low density organic compound dissolved in methylene chloride (d = 1.1 g/mL) - upper layer

Name the five methods used for the formation of salts??

Viefleur [7K]

Explanation:

In chemistry, a salt is a chemical compound consisting of an ionic assembly of cations and anions.[1] Salts are composed of related numbers of cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negatively charged ions) so that the product is electrically neutral (without a net charge). These component ions can be inorganic, such as chloride (Cl−), or organic, such as acetate (CH

3CO−

2); and can be monatomic, such as fluoride (F−) or polyatomic, such as sulfate (SO2−

4).

1. Starting with 9.3 moles of O 2 , how many moles of H 2 S will be needed and how many moles of SO 2 will

enyata [817]

Answer:

Moles of H₂S needed = 6.2 mol

Moles of SO₂ produced = 6.2 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of O₂ = 9.3 mol

Moles of H₂S needed = ?

Moles of SO₂ produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂S + 3O₂ → 2SO₂ + 2H₂O

Now we will compare the moles of oxygen with H₂S.

O₂ : H₂S

3 : 2

9.3 : 2/3×9.3 = 6.2 mol

Now we will compare the moles of SO₂ with both reactant.

O₂ : SO₂

3 : 2

9.3 : 2/3×9.3 = 6.2 mol

H₂S : SO₂

2 : 2

6.2 : 6.2 mol

So 6.2 moles of SO₂ are produced.
