How much sodium is in the Oceans?
As PURE sodium, practically none. But a good part of all sodium in the world is in the oceans- in the form of sodium chloride- salt. The total amount would be in the billions of tons. Seawater is about 3.5% salt.
Where is sodium in the world?
In your table salt, among other locations
Where are sodium mines?
Sodium is not mined. At least not a sodium. Sodium metal is highly reactive, and as such, it is not found free in nature. It will be found in conbination with another or other elements. The most common form in which we see sodium is as halite or sodium chloride, which is table salt. And there are salt mines in a number of locations around the world. If we are recovering sodium metal for some reason, we can melt salt (sodium chloride) and separate it through an electrochemical process. But we have to cool and store the sodium carefully. Even the moisture in air can (and will) react with sodium.
Where is the element sodium usually found in the world?
The element sodium is present in the sea in the compound sodium chloride(NaCl) or salt. Also soda lakes like lake Bogoria in the Great rift valley contain very high amounts of sodium hence the name soda lakes.
What chemical form is sodium mined?
Sodium isn't exactly mined. Sodium in its pure substance cannot be found freely in the environment. Sodium must go through a process of electrolysis (the process of shooting an electrical current through a substance) to break down the sodium compounds into pure sodium. These sodium compounds are found in multiple places. They can be found in the ocean, coal/salt mines, and many other places. In fact about 2.6% of the Earths crust is made up of sodium compounds.
Why are the forests and woodlands of the world regarded as a precious natural source?
they are the primary source of our air suply
What natural resources are found in the Atacama Desert of Chile?
Nitrate deposits, the largest in the world, were once mined in Chile. Today, copper is the primary metal mined in Chile, accounting for about 30% of the World's production of the metal.
What would be a likely natural feature in an extremely densely populated area of the world?
A river or other natural water source would likely be a feature in an extremely dense populated area of the world.
Why is sodium nitrate added to meat?
Potassium (rather than Sodium) Nitrate is called "saltpeter" and SMALL AMOUNTS are added to meet when the meet is being cured (brined/salted) to preserve the meet. Saltpeter has the affect of making the meet turn a pinky colour and prevents a specific bacteria (Botulism) from developing in the cured meet. Without saltpeter the world would never have been explored as meet would not have been available on sailing ships.
What is the definition natural resource?
a natural resource is how do people us the land and its area
How does sodium affect the world?
It will destory the world's apples !!
What did Aristotle believe about matter?
Aristotle believed that matter was essential in understanding the natural world. My source is http://david.ebrey.googlepages.com/EbreyAbstract.pdf. I hoped that this proves to be helpful.
What is the salt source?
Salt is a mostly made up of sodium, a metal, which is believed to come from stars. Sodium has 11 electrons, one in the outer ring of the electron orbit. This negative charge allows sodium to bond with other minerals, like chlorine, to make salt. Sea salts are found all around the world containing a variety of minerals.
What is the origin of of nitrogen's name?
Nitrogen gets its name from "Niter" (Potassium Nitrate, KNO3) + Latin. gènere,You can use Potassium Nitrate to prepare Nitrogen.From Latin nitrogenium or French nitrogène.Nitrogen had been elementally found in nitric acid, which in turn is formed from saltpetre (potassium nitrate), in Lavoisier's time known as 'nitre'.However, this word in the more ancient world, originally described sodium (Na, Latin 'natron') salts that did not contain nitrate, and so the word is a cognate of natronand nitron.The last part, gènere , means "producing" (from Gk. -γενής means "forming" or "giving birth to" compare 'genisis').
Is LSD natural?
Not completely. But it is synthesized from a natural source such as the ergot fungus or morning glory seeds.
How many natural world heritage sites are there?
There are 206 natural World Heritage sites.
