Interpretation : The ice is denser than the water to be described. The situations of more consequence are to be explained.
Concept Introduction : The measure of how densely a material is packed together is called density. It is described as the mass per unit volume.
Answer to Problem 100A
When ice is denser than water, it would affect the ocean and cause global warming.
Explanation of Solution
Density is defined as the ratio of mass to volume. It gives the connectivity between mass and volume.
The ice is lighter than water in reality.
But if ice is denser than water, it would sink. In such a situation, it will affect life in oceans and lakes because ice on the surface is like an isolator full of air that protects water from freezing.
Ice also reflects the radiation of the sun.
If ice sinks, it will increase the temperature on the surface of the earth.

- Draw and show the full mechanism of how the molecule ((1E, 3E, 5E)-1-methoxyhepta-1,3,5-triene) is built using substitution and elimination reactions. You can start with an alkane of any carbon length with any number of leaving groups attached or with a alkoxide of any carbon length (conjugate base of an alcohol). Show each step and and explanation for each reaction. Also include why the reagents and solvents were picked and what other products can be expected.arrow_forwardDon't USE AIarrow_forwardDon't USE AIarrow_forward
