Which of the following describes the effect of increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide (\(CO_{2}\)) in sea water and the resulting change in the universal indicator color?

What unit is typically used to measure and express the salinity of sea water?

Why does the Baltic Sea typically exhibit a lower salinity compared to the Pacific Ocean?

Classify oxygen as an element, compound, or mixture, and provide the chemical formula for the compound calcium carbonate.

Explain why the salinity of water within an estuary is not constant and changes during a typical tidal cycle.

Describe the opposing effects that an increase in temperature has on the solubility of solid salts (such as sodium chloride) versus dissolved gases in sea water.

(a) Define the term salinity and state the standard unit used by marine scientists to express this measurement.
(b) Compare the salinity levels of the Baltic Sea and the Red Sea, and provide one environmental reason for the difference observed in the Baltic Sea.

Salinity and pH are two fundamental chemical characteristics of the marine environment.
(a) Define the term salinity and state the units commonly used to express it.
(b) The Red Sea is known for having a high salinity compared to the global average. Suggest and explain two environmental factors that contribute to this high salinity.
(c) Describe the effect of dissolving carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into sea water on the pH of the water.
