Ocean water has a salinity of approximately 35,000 parts per million or 3.5%. What are the solute and solvent in ocean water? A.
Salt is the solute. Water is the solvent. B. Salt is the solute. Ocean plants are the solvent. C. Ocean plants are the solute. Water is the solvent. D. Water is the solute. Salt is the solvent.
In a salt situation why is water the solvent and salt is the solute? It is a homogenous mixture in which the solute is dissolved in the solvent. So since the salt is dissolved in the water, the water is the solvent and the salt the solute.
"The environmental change that occurs faster is definitely volcanic eruption. It may happen in an instant and destroy everything in its way, whereas the process of regrowth of forest after volcanic eruption is a slow one."
Osmosis happens when the osmotic pressure of two container separated by semipermeable membrane is different. The osmotic pressure could be exert by polar solute because they will attract water molecule. Protein, glucose, and sodium chloride is the common molecule that could cause osmosis. But protein is the main substance that keep the osmotic pressure of the blood in the body.
