The following experiment was performed: A white solid was added to a test tube containing water. The solid completely dissolved and the solution was colorless. Chlorine was added the the solution turned an dark orange color. Hexane was added, the test tube was corked, and the contents was mixed. It was then noted that the hexane was purple in color. What was likely the identity of the white solid

How do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents? as temperatures and salinity levels of water increase, the water rises to the surface where it creates currents as it moves to colder regions. they create changes in wind direction, moving denser water in the same direction as the wind and causing the deepwater circulation patterns found in the ocean. they equalize the forces on undersea currents caused by the coriolis effect as they replace more dense water with less dense water. they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.
