Why are DOC concentrations lower in the deep Pacific than in the deep Atlantic? O Much of the ocean's deep water is formed in the North Atlantic, from surface waters with high DOC concentrations. So deep Atlantic water has high DOC concentrations compared to the deep Pacific where little or no deep water is formed. O The Pacific has more bacterial activity, causing DOC to be respired faster. There are more organisms that live in the Atlantic and produce more organic carbon, as opposed to the Pacific, which has lower production. O Deep water is formed in the Pacific so it has DOC concentrations that are depleted, as opposed to the Atlantic which has no deep water formation, so the water has DOC concentrations similar to the surface.

Soaps consist of compounds such as sodium stearate,CH3(CH2)16COO-Na+ , that have both hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts. Consider the hydrocarbon part of sodiumstearate to be the “tail” and the charged part to be the“head.”(a) Which part of sodium stearate, head or tail, is more likelyto be solvated by water?(b) Grease is a complex mixture of (mostly) hydrophobiccompounds. Which part of sodium stearate, head or tail,is most likely to bind to grease?(c) If you have large deposits of grease that you want towash away with water, you can see that adding sodiumstearate will help you produce an emulsion.
