Answer:
<u>s</u><u>u</u><u>g</u><u>a</u><u>r</u> is the solute and <u>w</u><u>a</u><u>t</u><u>e</u><u>r</u> is the solvent
The answers would be the mass before a reaction is the same as the mass after a reaction which basically means mass is conserved
Answer : The given statement is, false.
Explanation :
Ionic product of water : It is defined as the product of the concentration of hydrogen ion and the concentration of hydroxide ion.
The mathematical expression will be,
![[H^+][OH^-]=10^{-14}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH%5E%2B%5D%5BOH%5E-%5D%3D10%5E%7B-14%7D)
When the concentration of hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion are equal then the solution is neutral and the value will be, 
. And the pH of the solution is, 7.
When the concentration of hydrogen ion is greater than then the solution is acidic in nature. And the pH of the solution is, less than 7.
When the concentration of hydrogen ion is less than then the solution is basic in nature. And the pH of the solution is, greater than 7.
Hence, the given statement is false.
Answer 1
The sample will dissolve in more than 1 minute.
Explanation :-
Generally Solubility and rate of solubility of substances increase with the increase in temperature. So lower the temperature less fast will it dissolve in the same amount of water.
Since at 50 C it takes 1 minute to dissolve, at 20 C which is lower temperature it will take more time to dissolve.
Answer 2
Transition metals
Explanation:-
Hardness depends on the extent of metallic bonding for metals. More the number of electrons more the metallic bonding.
Alkali metals with just 1 valence electron have weak metallic bonding. Alkaline earth metals have just 2 valence electrons. Transition elements has more electrons in penultimate shell and valence shell than lanthanides. Transition metals with most metallic bonding are the hardest
