Explain how the solubility of water is useful in maintaining various life processes.

Chemistry
2 answers:
Aneli [31]3 years ago
5 0

Water is called a universal solvent because of its ability to dissolve different types of substances.

The basic unit of life is cell and a large portion of living cell (60%)  is made up of water, this is because cells need water to survive. Biochemical reactions are always ongoing in the living cells and water act as solvents under which these reactions occur. Because of the high solubility of water, it is able to dissolve various substances needed by the body, this makes it easy for the substance to participate in chemical reactions and to move from one point to another.  Without water biochemical reactions will not be able to occur in cells and this will lead to the death of the cells.

Answer:

Humans are made up of  about 60% of water, our cells need water to survive. Biochemical reactions are always happening in the living cells in our bodies, water is the solvents in which these reactions perform. Water is a universal solvent due to its capability to dissolve substances. Due to the high solubility of water, its able to dissolve the substances that each body needs and it helps the substance participate in the chemical reactions. Water is the most important part of the human body, without it biochemical reactions could not perform which causes death.

How many mole of ZnCl2 will be produced from 55.0 g of Zn, assuming HCL is available in excess
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

0.84 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles  of ZnCl₂ produced = ?

Mass of Zn = 55.0 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2HCl + Zn  →  ZnCl₂ + H₂

Number of moles of Zn:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 55.0 g/ 65.38 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.84 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Zn with ZnCl₂ from balance chemical equation.

                                      Zn          :             ZnCl₂

                                         1          :               1

                                      0.84       :           0.84

So from 55 g of Zn 0.84 moles of zinc chloride will be produced.

Calculate the weight of keame if he has potential energy of 67J and standing at a hieght of 10m.(take g100m/s)​
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

height(h)=10 m

acceleration due to gravity (g)=10 m/s^2

mass (m)=?

potential energy=67

or,mgh= 67

or,m×10×10=67

or,m=67/100

or,m=0.67 kg

Therefore,m= 670 grams

What process is used to refine aluminum from its ore bauxite?
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

D. Smelting

Explanation:

Bauxite is the aluminum ore from which alumina, also known as aluminum oxide, Al₂O₃, is produced. Bauxite is extracted from the topsoil regions of some subtropical and tropical regions, and the Bayer process is primarily then used to produce alumina from the bauxite.

Aluminum is produced from the alumina by an aluminum smelting process known as the Hall—Heroult electrolytic process which involves the use of a carbon anode and direct current to produce aluminum by reducing the aluminum oxide
