The definition of solvent is "having assets in excess of liabilities; able to pay one's debts" or "able to dissolve other substances". Solvent is another way of debt-free or creditworthy. The definition of solvent is "having assets in excess of liabilities; able to pay one's debts" or "able to dissolve other substances". Solvent, in science terms, is a substance in which dissolves a liquid/solute like: a chemical of distant liquid, solid, or gas. Solvent is another way of debt-free or creditworthy. In Latin, Solvent is called "solvō" which means "I loosen, untie, I solve". "Solvent uses many chemicals using: pharmaceutical, oil, and gas industries which involve chemical syntheses and purification processes."  The most common solvent is water for polar molecules.

My sources were Wikapedia and goggle.
Hope this helped! I have a definition and synonyms for "Solvent". =)

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.

Viktor [21]

Answer:

The answer is 5.10

Explanation:

<h3><u>Given</u>;</h3>
  • pH = 1.9
<h3><u>To </u><u>Find</u>;</h3>
  • pOH = ?

We know that

pH + pOH = 7

pOH = 7 – pH

pOH = 7 – 1.90

pOH = 5.10

Thus, The pOH of the solution is 5.10

Solid cadmium sulfide reacts with an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid . Express your answer as a balanced chemical equation. Id
max2010maxim [7]

Explanation:

When solid cadmium sulfide reacts with an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid then the reaction will be as follows.

          CdS(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow CdSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}S(g)

Hence, ionic equation for this reaction is as follows.

      CdS(s) + 2H^{+}(aq) + SO^{2-}_{4}(aq) \rightarrow Cd^{2+}(aq) + SO^{2-}_{4}(aq) + H_{2}S(g)

Therefore, net ionic equation for this reaction is as follows.

      CdS(s) + 2H^{+}(aq) \rightarrow Cd^{2+}(aq) + H_{2}S(g)
