Calculate density if you add 50 g of water to 150mL of water.
0.33 g/mL
Can you explain how salinity affect density?
The higher the salinity, the more dense it will be
Explain why water is considered the universal solvent.
Water is the universal solvent because it is polar and most other substances are polar. "like dissolves like"
How is temperature related to depth in the ocean?
The deeper you travel into the ocean, the colder it is
