<u>Answer:</u> The salinity of ocean water is 34 ppt.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Salinity is defined as the number of grams of salts present per kilogram of seawater. It is expressed in parts per thousand.

The formula used to calculate the salinity of ocean water or sea water is:

\text{ Parts per thousand}=\frac{\text{Mass of salts}}{\text{Mass of sea water}}\times 1000

We are given:

Mass of salts = 17 g

Mass of sea water = 500 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{ Parts per thousand}=\frac{17g}{500g}\times 1000\\\\\text{ Parts per thousand}=34

Hence, the salinity of ocean water is 34 ppt.

when copper wires are made, a copper rod is pulled into a narrower wire. Explain how metallic bonding allows this to happen
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

possibly because of the malleability of metals

Explanation:

In metallic bonding, electrons are delocalized and move freely among nuclei. When a force is exerted n the metal, the nuclei shift, but the bonds do not break, giving metals their characteristic malleability.

When 0.230 g of sodium metal is added to an excess of hydrochloric acid, 2390 J of heat are produced. What is the enthalpy of th
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

ΔHrxn = 239 kj/mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sodium = 0.230 g

Heat produced = 2390 J

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Na + 2HCl → 2NaCl + H₂

Number of moles of sodium:

Number of moles of sodium = mass / molar mass

Number of moles of sodium = 0.230 g / 23 g/mol

Number of moles of sodium = 0.01 mol

Enthalpy of reaction:

ΔHrxn =  2390 J / 0.01 mol

ΔHrxn = 239000 j/mol

ΔHrxn = 239 kj/mol

Classify each of the following as a compound, a homogeneous mixture, or a heterogeneous mixture: (a) distilled water; (b) gasoli
Marina CMI [18]

Explanation:

A mixture which shows presence of uniform composition of solute particles into the solvent is known as a homogeneous mixture.

  • Distilled water is a clear solution in which there is uniform composition of solute particles into the solution.
  • Gasoline is mixture of different compounds which are evenly distributed. Therefore, it is also a homogeneous mixture.
  • Wine is also a clear solution in which particles are evenly distributed. Hence, it is a homogeneous mixture.

On the other hand, a mixture which shows non-uniform composition of solute particles into the solvent is known as a heterogeneous mixture.

  • Beach sand is a mixture of different particles present in varying composition. Hence, it is a heterogeneous mixture.
  • Also, in air there are different gases present in different composition. Mover over, there is presence of fog and smoke into the air. Hence, it is a heterogeneous mixture.
