A solvent (from the Latin solvō, "I loosen, untie, I solve") is a substance that dissolves a solute (a chemically distinct liquid, solid or gas), resulting in a solution. A solvent is usually a liquid but can also be a solid or a gas. The quantity of solute that can dissolve in a specific volume of solvent varies with temperature. Common uses for organic solvents are in dry cleaning (e.g., tetrachloroethylene), as paint thinners (e.g., toluene, turpentine), as nail polish removers and glue solvents (acetone, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate), in spot removers (e.g., hexane, petrol ether), in detergents (citrus terpenes) and in perfumes (ethanol). Water is a solvent for polar molecules and the most common solvent used by living things; all the ions and proteins in a cell are dissolved in water within a cell. Solvents find various applications in chemical, pharmaceutical, oil, and gas industries, including in chemical syntheses and purification processes.

According to Henry's law, which was stated in the early 1800's by WIlliam Henry, is that the mass of a solute causes it to absorb more gases into a solution.

Answer:
A cell wall is a fairly rigid layer surrounding a cell located outside of the plasma membrane that provides additional support and protection. They are found in bacteria, archaea, fungi, plants, and algae. Animals and most other protists have cell membranes without surrounding cell walls.
Explanation:
Answer:
1. Mixture
2. Compound
3. Compound
4. Element
Explanation:
Number 1 shows two completely different types of compounds in the same space, so it is a mixture.
Numbers 2 and 3 are compounds because there aren't different types compounds as in Number 1, but the same compound repeated. 2 is a compound because while all of the circles are the same element, they are connected. O2 for example, oxygen, is a compound.
Number 4, finally, is all of the same substance, non-connected, so it shows an element.
