Hey there!
The answer is D, Salinity.
Salinity is the concentration of salt in water. Ocean water often has high salinity and this can contribute to things like upwelling and water density- but these all start from salinity.
Hope this helps!
I believe the answer is A.
Answer:
17.55 g of NaCl
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Molarity = 3 M
Volume = 100.0 mL
Mass of NaCl =..?
Next, we shall convert 100.0 mL to L. This can be obtained as follow:
1000 mL = 1 L
Therefore,
100 mL = 100/1000
100 mL = 0.1 L
Therefore, 100 mL is equivalent to 0.1 L.
Next, we shall determine the number of mole NaCl in the solution. This can be obtained as follow:
Molarity = 3 M
Volume = 0.1 L
Mole of NaCl =?
Molarity = mole /Volume
3 = mole of NaCl /0.1
Cross multiply
Mole of NaCl = 3 × 0.1
Mole of NaCl = 0.3 mole
Finally, we determine the mass of NaCl required to prepare the solution as follow:
Mole of NaCl = 0.3 mole
Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g/mol
Mass of NaCl =?
Mole = mass /Molar mass
0.3 = mass of NaCl /58.5
Cross multiply
Mass of NaCl = 0.3 × 58.5
Mass of NaCl = 17.55 g
Therefore, 17.55 g of NaCl is needed to prepare the solution.
