What is the correct sequence of the following salts in ascending order according to their presence in the sea water?
- 1Calcium Carbonate
- 2Calcium Sulphate
- 3Magnesium Chloride Select the answer using the code given below:
General KnowledgeGeography
- A3, 1, 2
- B1, 3, 2
- C1, 2, 3
- D2, 1, 3
Explanation
The correct ascending order is 1, 2, 3. In seawater, calcium carbonate (about 0.015%) is the least abundant of the three, followed by calcium sulphate (about 0.13%), and magnesium chloride (about 0.38%) is the most abundant. The ascending sequence is therefore calcium carbonate, calcium sulphate, magnesium chloride.
