The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for a…

Chemical Reactions and Equations

When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained …

Textbook Question

Chapter 0, Problem 0.91CHP

Ocean currents are measured in sverdrups (Sv) where 1 Sv = 10⁹ m³/s. The Gulf Stream off the tip of Florida, for instance, has a flow of 35 Sv.

(a) What is the flow of the Gulf Stream in milliliters per minute?
(b) What mass of water in the Gulf Stream flows past a given point in 24 hours? The density of seawater is 1.025 g/mL.
(c) How much time is required for 1 petaliter (PL; 1 PL = 10¹⁵ L) of seawater to flow past a given point?
