Chapter 21, Problem 79FP
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The salinity of the mono lake is to be determined and it is to be compared with the salinity of the sea water.

Concept introduction:

The term salinity refers to the saltness or the inorganic salt content that has been dissolved in the body of the water.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The pH of the mono lake water is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The pH of a given solution is used to express the amount of hydrogen or the hydroxide ions in the given solution. It is used to express the acidity and the basicity of the given solution.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The formation of tufa in the mono lake is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Tufa is a type of highly porous, sedimentary rock which is composed of calcium carbonate. It is mainly formed by the chemical and biological precipitation of Calcite or aragonite that are obtained from cold and supersaturated surface or ground water.

A student proposes the transformation below in one step of an organic synthesis. There may be one or more reactants missing from the left-hand side, but there are no products missing from the right-hand side. There may also be catalysts, small inorganic reagents, and other important reaction conditions missing from the arrow. • Is the student's transformation possible? If not, check the box under the drawing area. . If the student's transformation is possible, then complete the reaction by adding any missing reactants to the left-hand side, and adding required catalysts, inorganic reagents, or other important reaction conditions above and below the arrow. • You do not need to balance the reaction, but be sure every important organic reactant or product is shown. + T X O O лет-ле HO OH HO OH This transformation can't be done in one step.
Determine the structures of the missing organic molecules in the following reaction: X+H₂O H* H+ Y OH OH Note: Molecules that share the same letter have the exact same structure. In the drawing area below, draw the skeletal ("line") structures of the missing organic molecules X and Y. You may draw the structures in any arrangement that you like, so long as they aren't touching. Click and drag to start drawing a structure. X S
