The vanishing of an ionic solid (like table salt) would be an example of acting like a solvent

Answer: pour an ionic solid into water and see if it vanishes.

Explanation: The solubility of substances is governed by: Like dissolves like, which states that polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents and non polar compounds are soluble in non polar solvents.

Ionic compounds are formed by combination of positively charged cations and negatively charged anions which are held by strong coloumbic forces.When ionic compounds are dissolved in water, the ions are dissociated due to high dielectric constant of water and thus dissolve in water.

Water being a polar solvent is able to dissolve ionic or polar compounds in it.

Where does a phase change occur
il63 [147K]
A phase change is occuring; the liquid water is changing to gaseous water, or steam. On a molecular level, the intermolecular forces between the water molecules are decreasing. The heat is providing enough energy for the water molecules to overcome these attractive forces.

A small 16 kilogram canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 4 m/s. What is the canoe's kinetic energy?
seraphim [82]

Kinetic Energy,K.E=1/2MV²

mass,m=16kg

velocity,v=4m/s

K.E=1/2×16×4²

=128kgm²/s²

=128 Joules
