What are solutes and what two ions comprise the majority of seawater?
These ions are Na+ and Cl-.
What is the mistake in this statement magnesium and chloride make up most of the ions in seawater?
It should say, "Magnesium and CHLORINE make up most of the ions in seawater." Not chloride.
What process removes the major ions from seawater?
Reverse Osmosis
What ion makes up 7.7 percent of the ions in seawater?
sulfate
What are the six ions in seawater?
The four MAIN IONS in seawater in descending order of abundance are: CI: Chloride Na: Sodium SO4: Sulfate Mg: magnesium Found in Leckie-Yuretich: Investigating the Ocean, Page 114, Seawater Salinity: The salt of the Ocean
What is the process by which oceans become acidic?
The more H2CO3 there is in seawater, the greater the number of hydrogen ions present. This decreases the pH of seawater, making it more acidic. Higher concentrations of H2CO3 also lessen the number of available carbonate ions (CO32).
The main ions in sea water are?
The four MAIN IONS in seawater in descending order of abundance are: CI: Chloride Na: Sodium SO4: Sulfate Mg: magnesium Found in Leckie-Yuretich: Investigating the Ocean, Page 114, Seawater Salinity: The salt of the Ocean
What is the CO2 concentration in seawater?
Approx. 2 000 micromoles CO2 (gas or ions) in 1L water.
What are the major ions in seawater and freshwater?
The major ions in sea water are chloride, sodium, sulphate, magnesium, calcium, potassium, bicarbonate, bromide, strontium,boron and flouride.
Is seawater a better conductor of electrcity than water from a freshwater lake?
Yes as it contains more ions in solution.
What is the most abundant salt in seawater?
There are several salts in sea water, but the most abundant is ordinary table salt or Sodium Chloride (NaCl). Sodium Chloride, like other salts, dissolves in water into its ions, so this is really a question about which ions are present in the greatest concentration.
What forms of polyatomic ions occur in nature?
The predominant ones are nitrates, carbonates, sulfates, silicates, aluminates, and phosphates. There are several variations of the latter three of these types.
