18. use the activity series to predict whether the following synthesis reaction will occur. write the chemical equations for the reaction if it's predicted to occur. (s) + o2(g) -> *note: it is possible.*

Read these sentences from the text. near the equator, the tropics receive the most rain on a consistent basis. as a result, the fresh water falling into the ocean decrease the salinity of the surface water in that region.
