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.
Which element in the human diet is considered as a major cause of heart disease?
Fat is the one element that is a major cause of heart disease. Fat clogs the arteries and causes many problems with the heart as a result.
Which wave of a major tsunami is likely to be the highest first fourth tenth or twentieth?
4th because as the tsuami waves occur the strength increases.
Is there a college major that begins with a m?
Music is a college major. Marketing is a college major. Mechanical engineering is a college major.
Is the heart deep or superficial to the pectoralis major?
The heart is deep to the pectoralis major. The pectoralis major is superficial to the heart.
Principle of constant proportions used to determine salinity?
yes..somewhat. It states that the ratio of major salts in samples of seawater from various places is constant. It can give you a rough answer to salinity ,but salinity varies because of elements not included in the major salts of the ocean. If there were no other factors then it would be able to tell you the salinity.
What is the major source of oceanic salinity?
The major source of oceanic salinity is the dissolution of ions from rocks on land that are carried into the ocean by rivers. This process adds various salts to seawater, contributing to its overall salinity. Additionally, hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor can also introduce elements and minerals that affect salinity.
Why is iodine considered a trace element in seawater?
A trace element is considered is a specific element that contains less than 100 parts per million in a sample. In this case, the sample is seawater. According to my understanding, the presence of iodine is very limited in seawater. There is only 0.05 parts per million of iodine in seawater. As such, iodine is considered a trace element in seawater.
How salinity and temperature affects the seawater?
Salinity and temperature are conservative properties of seawater that directly affect the density of seawater. This is an extremely important property because it in turn directly affects upwelling and downwelling of oceans and some major oceanic currents. This is because if a denser body of water is sitting on top of a less dense body of water, the denser part of the water column will turn over (sink) to get to a more stable water column state. This leads to water mixing of nutrients and oxygen for organisms living in the water column. Typically the saltier the water, the higher the density and also the colder the water, the higher the density. So because of this, cold and salty water (Antarctic and Arctic) are the most dense bodies of water and typically stay towards the bottom of the ocean floor.
What are the major seawater of the world?
The pacific ocean
Silver-white element in ocean water?
The silver-white element found in ocean water is likely to be sodium. Sodium is a soft, silvery-white metal that is highly reactive and is a major element in the composition of seawater.
What major element is dissolved in ocean water?
Sodium.(seawater has approximately 35 g/L of dissolved salts: predominantly sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl−) ions)Sodium
What is the second major source of elements of seawater?
Earth's interior
What major change occurs as you move left to right on the periodic table?
As you move left to right on the periodic table, the number of valence electrons an element has increases. The number of valence electrons an element has corresponds to which group (column) an element is. (This rule does not apply to transition metals...)
What process removes the major ions from seawater?
Reverse Osmosis
What are the major seawater salts?
The most important is sodium chloride - NaCl.
What element is in the major compound of steel?
Iron is the major element in steel. Only an element can be an element, and an element can not be a compound, the definition of which requires more than one element.
