Answer: (C) Dissolution is the process by which a solute form a solution in a solvent.
Explanation: Dissolution can be described as the process by which a solute dissolves in a solvent to give a solvent.
The solute may be a solid, liquid or gas and solvent is usually a liquid but can also be liquid, gas or supercritical fluid. The most common solvent is water and it is referred to as the universal solvent.
Example are:
1.Stirring of sugar in water.
In this case the solute is the sugar and the solvent is water.
2.Organic substances dissolves readily in solvent like kerosene and benzene and they are known as non-polar solvent while the organic substances are the solute
Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the article found on the Scientific American website.
Explanation:
<em>Remember,</em> according to that article we are told that scientists notice that these insects have a long nymphal (immature form before becoming adults) stage, one that can last up to 13 to 17 years on the ground before they leave the ground looking for mating partners.
Because it is only after mating occurs at this point that their eggs are laid, that is why scientists believe that cicadas only reproduce every 13 or 17 years.
HNO3+NaOH ----> H2O
H⁺ +NO3⁻+Na⁺+OH⁻ ---> Na⁺ +NO3⁻ +H2O
H⁺ (aq)+OH⁻(aq)----> H2O(l)
B. The unknown solution had the lower concentration.
Explanation:
Osmosis is a phenomenon in which the molecules of the solvent has a tendency to move through a membrane which is semipermeable from lower concentrated side to the higher concentration side, so that the concentrations on both sides of the membrane must be equal.
So the unknown solution may have lesser concentration than the isotonic solution so that molecules of that solution move from less concentrated side to the more concentrated side, so its level drops.
