Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Marine chemists used silver nitrate to measure the chlorinity of a water sample. Equations were then
used measure convert the chlorinity to the salinity of the sample. The procedure is calibrated against a
known sample. Now salinometers are used by measuring the electrical conductivity. Information can
be found in the section Seawater Consists of Water and Dissolved Solids.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Carbon dioxide concentrations are higher at deeper depths. Contrastingly, oxygen levels decrease as
the depth decreases. This is true until middle depths of the ocean; then, oxygen levels begin to increase
again. Information can be found in the section Gases Dissolve in Seawater.
