Lthough much of the explanation for why certain substances mix and form solutions and why others do not is beyond the scope of this class, we can get a glimpse at why solutions form by taking a look at the process by which ethanol, C2H5OH, dissolves in water. Ethanol is actually miscible in water, which means that the two liquids can be mixed in any proportion without any limit to their solubility. Much of what we now know about the tendency of particles to become more dispersed can be used to understand this kind of change as well.
Picture a layer of ethanol being carefully added to the top of some water (Figure below). Because the particles of a liquid are moving constantly, some of the ethanol particles at the boundary between the two liquids will immediately move into the water, and some of the water molecules will move into the ethanol. In this process, water-water and ethanol-ethanol attractions are broken and ethanol-water attractions are formed. Because both the ethanol and the water are molecular substances with O−H bonds, the attractions broken between water molecules and the attractions broken between ethanol molecules are hydrogen bonds. The attractions that form between the ethanol and water molecules are also hydrogen bonds (Figure below). There you go

Answer:

Chorionic villus sampling

Explanation:

Chorion is one of the extraembryonic membranes that surround the fetus and the amniotic cavity. The cells present in the chorion have the same genome and chromosomes as present in the fetus. Therefore, some of the chorionic tissues are collected from the chorionic villi. These tissues are then analyzed for any chromosomal abnormality. This process is called chorionic vill sampling. For the purpose, tissue collection can be done by inserting a catheter through the cervix or using a needle through the uterine wall.

Water is found throughout the earth. It is comprised of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Water changes into different physical states

madam [21]

Answer:

Water obeys the Law of Conservation of Matter despite changing into different forms because when water does change forms, the amount of water stays the same. The Law of Conservation of Matter states that before matter undergoes change, be it through physical or chemical means, the same amount of matter exists. Matter cannot be created nor destroyed during the change. When water changes from a liquid to a gas the molecules change form by breaking the bonds that held them in a liquid state, but this does not create new matter. The molecules can now move more freely but are still the same as they were before. Same goes with the change from a liquid to a solid. The molecules slow down and become more compact, forming a solid. Though again, this does not create new matter nor destroy existing matter, therefore obeying the Law of Conservation of Matter.
