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

Chemistry

Aneli [31]3 years ago

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.

When an aqueous solution of magnesium nitrate is mixed with an aqueous solution of potassium carbonate, ____________.?
spin [16.1K]
  <span>Ca(NO3)2 + Na2CO3 = CaCO3 + 2NaNO3 
Yes a precipitate of Calcium Carbonate is formed since it is insoluble in water. 
Mol Wt of Calcium Nitrate is 164. And that of Calcium Carbonate is 100. 
One mole of Calcium Nitrate produces one mole of Calcium Carbonate. 
i.e. 164 gms will produce 100gms of precipitate 
So, 1.74gms of Calcium Carbonate will be obtained from 2.85gms Calcium Nitrate present in the original solution.</span>

6. 100 ml of gaseous hydrocarbon consumes 300
mario62 [17]

Answer:

  • <u><em>a. C₂H₄</em></u>

Explanation:

At constant pressure and temperature, the mole ratio of the gases is equal to their volume ratio (a consequence of Avogadro's law).

Hence, the <em>complete combustion reaction</em> that has a ratio of 100 ml of gaseous hydrocarbon to 300 ml of oxygen, is that whose mole ratio is 1 mol hydrocarbon : 3 mol of oxygen.

Then, you must write the balanced chemical equations for the complete combustion of the four hydrocarbons in the list of choices, and conclude which has such mole ratio (1 mol hydrocarbon : 3 mol oxygen).

A complete combustion reaction of a hydrocarbon is the reaction with oxygen that produces CO₂ and H₂O, along with the release of heat and light.

<u>a. C₂H₄:</u>

  • C₂H₄ (g) + 3O₂ (g) → 2CO₂(g)  + 2H₂O (g)

Precisely, for this reaction the mole ratio is 1 mol C₂H₄: 2 mol O₂, hence, this is the right choice.

The following analysis just shows that the other options are not right.

<u>b. C₂H₂:</u>

  • 2C₂H₂ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 4CO₂(g)  + 2H₂O (g)

The mole ratio for this reaction is 2 mol C₂H₂ :5 mol O₂.

<u>с. С₃Н₈</u>

  • C₃H₈ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 3CO₂(g)  + 4H₂O (g)

The mole ratio is 1 mol C₃H₈ : 5 mol O₂

<u>d. C₂H₆</u>

  • 2C₂H₆ (g) +7 O₂ (g) → 4CO₂(g)  + 6H₂O (g)

The mole ratio is 2 mol C₂H₆ : 7 mol O₂
