Answer: It dissolves a variety of solutes in it.

Explanation: Water is capable of dissolving a variety of solutes in it so called as universal solvent.

It has the ability to dissolve solutes more than any other liquid. It is a very essential component of earth because water flows and carries many  nutrients and minerals dissolved in it.

It is due to its chemical composition that allows it to do so.It has a polar arrangement of oxygen which provides negative charge and hydrogen molecules provides positive charge.

This provides water the ability to dissolve many solute particles in it.

Because water is able to dissolve in many things and most of this world is made out of water so no country or state doesn't have water, some have infected water with lead in them and others don't, but water can dissolve in salt, that's why they call it salt water and also tapped water where u put some mixtures in them to make it have flavor.

Answer:

Exothermic.

Explanation:

Exothermic is when he leaves the system. A way to remember is the "ex" which is a prefix/root/suffix or something that pretty much means leaving, I think. For example how it's in "Exodus" and "Exit", I think.

Endothermic is when it goes into the system. Similar to "ex" but with inside, I think. For example how it's in "Endoskeleton", I suppose.

If you have 10.0 grams of citric acid with enough baking soda (nahco3 how many moles of carbon dioxide can you produce?
kap26 [50]
Easy stoichiometry conversion :)

So, for stoichiometry, we always start with our "given". In this case, it would be the 10.0 grams of NaHCO3. This unit always goes over 1.

So, our first step would look like this:

10.0
------
  1

Next, we need to cancel out grams to get to moles. To do this, we will do grams of citric acid on the BOTTOM of the next step, so it cancels out. This unit in grams will be the mass of NaHCO3, which is 84.007. Then, we will do our unit of moles on top. Since this is unknown, it will be 1.

So, our 2nd step would look like this:

1 mole CO2
-----------------
84.007g NaHCO3

When we put it together: our complete stoichiometry problem would look like this:

10.0g NaHCO3     1mol CO2
---------------------- x -------------------------
            1                  84.007g NaHCO3

Now to find our answer, all we need to do is:
Multiply the two top numbers together (which is 10.0)
Multiply the two bottom numbers together (Which is 84.007)

And then....

Divide the top answer by the bottom answer.

10.0/84.007 is 0.119

So, from 10.0 grams of citric acid, we have 0.119 moles of CO2.

Hope I could help!

How is heat produced in a chemical change​
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:Hola UwU

Most chemical reactions involve the breaking and formation of chemical bonds. It takes energy to break a chemical bond but energy is released when chemical bonds are formed. If more energy is released than consumed, then the chemical reaction evolves heat and is said to be exothermic.

Explanation:Adios~ UnU haha
