<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.

True or false? Enzymes in the digestive tract catalyze hydrolysis reactions.
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The given statement is true.

Enzymes which are present in the digestive tract such as salivary amylase, pepsin, trypsin, et cetera mainly catalyze the hydrolysis reaction.

The hydrolysis reaction is the reaction by which large molecules are broken down into smaller molecules with the help of water.

Most of the complex molecules or nutrients such as starch, protein et cetera are broken down into their respective smaller units with the help of hydrolysis reaction.

For example, lactase catalyzes the hydrolysis of lactose into glucose and galactose.

Write the ions present in solution of k2co3. express your answers as chemical formulas separated by a comma. identify all of the
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer : The ions present in the solution of K_2CO_3 are K^+ and CO^{2-}_3 in aqueous state.

Explanation :

When K_2CO_3 is in aqueous solution then they dissociates into their ions.

The reaction in aqueous medium is,

K_2CO_3(aq)\rightarrow 2K^+(aq)+CO^{2-}_3(aq)

The charge on potassium ion is +1 and on carbonate ion is -2. To neutralize the charge on carbonate ion, two potassium ion must be used.

Therefore, the ions present in solution of K_2CO_3 are K^+ and [tex]CO^{2-}_3[tex] in aqueous state.
