Thermohaline currents are influenced by wind. true or false?

FALSE

Explanation:

The under-water deep ocean currents that are generated due to the differences in the water density are generally termed as the thermohaline circulation. It is mainly controlled by the two factors namely the temperature and the salinity. The word 'thermohaline' is directly derived from the temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline).

This thermohaline circulation is considered as the oceanic conveyor belt that allows the water to move under the surface of water at certain depths from the equator to the poles and back from the poles to the equator.

Thus, it is directly associated with the density of the water. It has no relation with the wind.

Hence, the above statement is False.

1. for the first question, we must find the mass of the anhydrous salt, mgso₄. the molar mass for mgso₄·7h₂o is 246.47 g/mol, while that of mgso₄ is 120.37 g/mol.7.834 g mgso₄·7h₂o * 1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o/246.47 g * 1 mol mgso₄/1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o * 20.37 g mgso₄/mol = 0.647 g mgso₄

2. mass of water = mass of sample - mass of anhydrous salemass of water = 7.834 - 0.647 = 7.19 gpercent water in hydrate = 7.19/7.834 * 100 = 91.74%

1 is the answer to this problem
