True or false Methane hydrates form within the ocean and are not expensive to obtain?
True and False. Methane hydrates form mostly under permafrost and ice caps, but some form in the ocean.Methane hydrates are expensive to obtain.
Why are common salts called hydrated salts?
Only some salts have hydrates, not all. These salts contain in the formula water of crystallization.
What are some reasons people risk living near volcanos?
it could kill them or destroy there home
What are some evidences that a chemical change occur?
Some physical signs are color change, bubbling, and rapid temperature reduction.
What does water dissolve other molecules into?
This depends on the solubility of these other molecules. Some result in hydrates. If a molecule is dissolved easily in H2O, ions are created; RX <> R+ + X- and water itself: H2O <> H+ + OH-.
Two reasons why heating to a high temperature is not a suitable method for finding the percentage of water in all hydrates?
Some compounds can lost not only the water; they can decompose at high temperature.

What are some water compounds?
You think probable to hydrates; an example is MgSO4.7H2O.
What are some reasons to recycle that you could use on your persuasive writing?
Helps the enviroment.
What are some reasons why your voice can sound funny?

yes because water is loss from hydrates compound
How do you know when your friend has given up on you?

What is the most interesting formation on earth?
This is subjective. An interesting formation to some may not be so for others. One candidate would be large waterfalls. (Another could be high mountain peaks ... or the valleys below.)

What are the reasons for using Photoshop and airbrushing on photos?
Some reasons for using Photoshop would be if someone wanted whiter teeth they could fix it or even if they had a little skin break out they could remove unwanted blemishes.
