1 answer:

7 0

A dissolving liquid composed of polar molecules is a polar solvent.

The distinction of polar and non-polar liquids is important because the like dissolves like rule. This rule states that the solubility is greater when the polarity of the liquid is similar to the polarity of the solute.

So, to dissolve polar compounds (e.g. ionic compounds) you should use polar solvents (e.g. water).

Answer: polar solvent

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The solubility of the gaseous solute decreases

Explanation:

As we know, pressure decreases with altitude. This means that, at higher altitudes, the pressure is much lower than it is at sea level.

The solubility of a gas increases with increase in pressure and decreases with decrease in pressure.

Hence, in Denver, Colorado where the elevation is about 5,280 feet above sea level, a gaseous solute is less soluble than it is at sea level due to the lower pressure at such high altitude.
