Answer:

Thermohaline Circulation

Explanation:

The process is known as “Thermohaline Circulation”. In the Earth’s polar regions ocean water gets very cold, forming sea ice. As a consequence the surrounding seawater gets saltier, because when sea ice forms, the salt is left behind. As the seawater gets saltier, its density increases, and it starts to sink.

* protons - Atomic number
electrons - number of electrons is equal to number of protons k-41 is neutral
neutrons - Mass number - Atomic number
= 41 -19
= 22

Why do electrons keep moving around the nucleus and not away from the atom
igomit [66]
The atom's center, or nucleus, is positively charged and the electrons that whirl around this nucleus are negatively charged, so they attract each other. The reason the force is strong is because the atom is so small. The distance between the nucleus and the electrons is about 1 Angstrom (named after a famous scientist); this is 0.00000001 cm (10-8 cm) or about 4 billionths of an

What's the mass in grams of 0.334 moles of sucrose (C12H22O11)?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

114.23g

Explanation:

Mass = xg

Mole = 0.334 mol

Molar mass of Sucrose

(C = 12, H = 1, O = 16)

C12H22O11

(12×12)+(1×22)+(16×11)

144 + 22 + 176

342g/mol

Mass = No of mole × Molar mass

Mass = 0.334 × 342

Mass = 114.228

Mass ≈ 114.23g
