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:
A- Solubility decrease.
B- Solubility increase.
C- No solubility change.
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, since the solubility of salt stands for the maximum amount of salt that can be added to a specific mass of water, usually 100 g; we need to take into account that for table salt in aqueous solution, the higher the temperature the larger the solubility and the lower the temperature the smaller the solubility; it means that more salt is dissolved in the same mass of water at higher temperatures and vice versa. Therefore, A- would decrease the solubility as the solution is cooled down and B- would increase the solubility as the solution is heated up.
Moreover, since the mass of water is assumed to remain the same, adding more salt do not affect the solubility but increase the degree of saturation of the solution up to supersaturated, yet the solubility remains unchanged.
Best regards!
Answer:
The mass of CO22 in total is 264 g.
The atomic mass for C is 12 g / mole.
The molar mass for CO22 is (12 + (2 × 16)) = 44 g / mole.
m C = (12 / 44) × 264 = 72 g
So, there are 72 g of C in 264 g of CO2
Explanation:
there's the answer have a good day.
Answer:
( a ) soluble
( b ) soluble
( c ) insoluble
Explanation:
Solubility is determined by the principle , "like dissolves like" .
i.e. ,<u> if a compound is polar then it will dissolve in a polar compound only , </u>and
<u>if a compound is non - polar then it will dissolve in a non - polar compound only .</u>
Hence , from the question ,
( a )
Methanol and water as we know are both polar species , hence , according to the principle - soluble .
( b )
Hexane and cyclohexane
Both the species are polar species , hence , according to the principle - soluble .
( c )
Hexane and water
In this case ,
Hexane , is non polar and water is polar , hence , the mixture will be non soluble .
Diffusion is the movement of any chemical from one place to another.
Osmosis is the movement of water across a partially permeable membrane.
I hope this helps!
