At area 1, a stream empties into the ocean. At area 2, precipitation enters the ocean in the form of rainfall. At area 3, evaporation takes place at the ocean’s surface. In which areas does the salinity of the ocean decrease?

The answer is celsius 

D. h2o + h2o > h3o + oh- confirmed.

2poclâ‚(g) ⇜ 2 pclâ‚(g) + oâ‚‚(g) â†gâ° = (2 mol)î”gfâ°(pclâ‚) – (2 mol)î”gfâ°(poclâ‚) = (2 mol)(–270 –(–502) kj/mol) â†gâ° = + 464 kj = â†hⰠ– tî”sâ° î”sâ° = 179 j/k ⇒ â†hâ° = â†gâ° + (298 k)(179 j/k) = –411 kj assuming that î”hâ° and î”sâ° do not depend on temperature, the temperature at which â†gâ° = 0 is where t = â†hâ°/î”sâ° = (–411 kj)/(0.179 j/k) = 2294 k. at that temp. keq = 1 for the reaction.
