Figure 11.1 Coral reefs, such as this one at the Palmyra Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, are vital to the ecosystem of earth’s oceans. The health of coral reefs and all marine life depends on the specific chemical composition of the complex mixture known as seawater.

Key Points

The silver–silver chloride electrode is a silver strip or wire that dips into the hydrochloric acid and is coated with solid silver chloride.
In chemical analysis, chromatography is a laboratory technique for the separation of a mixture into its components.
Solubility of one liquid in another Suppose substances A and B are both liquids when pure.
Density Density is a measure of the mass of a mineral per unit volume, and it is a useful diagnostic tool in some cases.
The melting point of the solid phase of a pure substance is a more reproducible temperature.
Rocks have highly varying strain responses to stress because of their different compositions and physical properties, and because temperature is a big factor and rock temperatures within the crust can vary greatly.
