Answer:

A. an acid

B. a base

C. conjugate base

D. conjugate acid

Explanation:

This question appears incomplete because it is starting with a "or".

However, the available question can still be answered.

An acid (according to "Bronsted-Lowry") is a chemical compound/specie that can donate hydrogen ion(s) in a reaction while a base is the compound/specie that can receive hydrogen ion(s). From this definition, <u>it can be deduced that</u> CH₃COOH <u>(ethanoic acid) is an acid (weak acid) because it can donate an hydrogen ion while</u> CH₃COO⁻ <u>is a base because it can receive a hydrogen ion</u>.

Also, a conjugate acid is the compound formed when an acid has donated a hydrogen ion to a base (i.e it is a base with hydrogen ion attached to it) while a conjugate base is the acid that has lost it's hydrogen ion. Thus, <u>the conjugate acid in the question is</u> CH₃OH <u>while the conjugate base in the question is</u> CH₃O⁻.

A. an acid

B. a base

C. conjugate base

D. conjugate acid

What causes water to become denser when it is carried to the poles by surface currents? increased temperature and increased sali
Anarel [89]

Answer:

The answer is decreased temperature and increased salinity

Explanation:

It is what is known as the thermohaline circulation

The thermohaline circulation moves the water slowly. This water moves mainly due to differences in its relative density. Much denser water sinks over water that is less dense. Two factors impact the density of seawater: temperature and salinity.

Cold water is denser than hot water:

-Water cools when it loses heat, it occurs at high latitudes.

-Water is heated when it receives energy from the sun, at low latitudes.

Saltier water is much denser than water that has less salt:

-Sea water becomes salty if the evaporation rate increases.

-Sea water becomes less salty if there is a water inlet over the sea.
