Which THREE statements correctly describe the properties of water?

1 answer:

7 0

CORRECT STATEMENTS
> Water forms hydrogen bonds with other polar molecules. 
> Water is a polar molecule. 
> Water dissolves more ionic compounds.

Water is a polar molecule because of its uneven distribution of electron density. It is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one positive atom.
Since water is a polar molecule, it forms hydrogen bonds with other polar molecules. Though these bonds are relatively weak, however, there are so many of them present in water.
Water also dissolves most ionic compounds due to the fact that water is a universal solvent. When these compounds are added to water, there will be an interaction between the individual ions and the polar regions of the water molecules and disrupts the ionic bonds.

INCORRECT 
> Liquid water is less dense than water vapor. - Liquid water has a higher density than water vapor. The fact that water vapor rises indicates that it is less dense than water.

>Water dissolves more hydrophobic substances. - Hydrophobic substances do not dissolve easily in water. It is termed as 'hydrophobic" because it means water-fearing.

What observations support the assumption that all of the iodine reacted with the zinc?

nikklg [1K]

Answer :

The answer is That percentage of composition of Zinc as determined said to be 19%, the percentage of iodine 81% and it shows that it is very close to accepted values by making calculations.

Explanations:

When iodine is dissolved in a strongly polar substance such as menthol. As the reaction is progressed, the color of the solution going from its initial color. Furthermore, after the reaction, small grey pallets supports the percentage between iodine reacted with the zinc. All the iodine reacted whereas portion reacted while the rest remained untouched.

1- cytoplasm contains about 85% of water, which helps in movement within the cells.

2- urine contains 95% of water, and it dissolve urea and salts in it.

3- plasma contains 90% of water, so we can say that water allows transportation of substances in the blood.
