ld be the state(s) of matter of the solvent? when using a gas as a solvent, what could be the state(s) of matter of the solute? when trying to dissolve a solid, what could be the state(s) of matter of the solvent?
1. When using a liquid as a solvent, what could be the state(s) of matter of the solute? Answer: gas, solid, liquid Liquid as solvent could dissolve all kind of matter. Oxygen(gas) dissolve in water and it is the reason why fish could "breath" under water. Sugar and many other solid substances are easy to dissolve in water. Alcohol(liquid) also could be dissolved in water.
2. when trying to dissolve a liquid, what could be the state(s) of matter of the solvent? Answer: liquid, solid Dissolve a liquid means that the liquid becomes the solute. From the answer of first question, you should infer that liquid solvent would be able to dissolve in liquid. The example of liquid dissolved in solid would be mercury and gold, which will create an amalgam.
3. when using a gas as a solvent, what could be the state(s) of matter of the solute? Answer: gas Gas only be able to dissolve another gas. The density difference of gas and other matter normally too far which makes them hard to catch a liquid/solid material.
4. when trying to dissolve a solid, what could be the state(s) of matter of the solvent? Answer: solid and liquid Dissolve a liquid means that the solid becomes the solute. The example of solid that dissolved in solid would be bronze or alloy which is a mixture of two or more metals. <span>Solid </span>in a liquid example can be found in first question answer, it's like adding sugar to water.
The graph of this equation is shown in Figure 1. As you can see this is a straight line with negative slope and does not intersect the y-axis. So the ...
