There is a lot of water on earth. If oxygen was very soluble in water, the oceans would absorb and hold the oxygen of the atmosphere and there would be none left for plants and animals.
Hope this help you!!
Answer:
Any element in group 18 has eight valence electrons (except for helium, which has a total of just two electrons
Hydrophobic in simple terms is the "fear" of water.
In chemistry, Ionic salts are technically hydrophilic as they will dissolve in water.
most fats and oils or triesters won't why?
salts are made from ions and their structure contain polar bonds Na+ and Cl-
Fats and oils tend to not have these.
Fats and oils contain many carbon covalent bonds which are non-polar which tend to make the molecule non-polar as a whole, therefore, it can't dissolve in water and is said to be hydrophobic.
Hope that heps :)
NB included a diagram to help.
Answer:
electric energy ---> heat energy or A.
Explanation:
the name says it all
A word equation is a chemical reaction described using words.
A common example is the act of photosynthesis - the process plants use to make glucose (sugar) to use as 'food'.
Plants convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose.
A word equation to express this is:
Water + Carbon Dioxide → Glucose + Oxygen
The other type of equation is a symbol equation - this uses the symbols of the elements instead of the common names:
H₂O + CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂
There is also a balanced version:
6H₂O + 6CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
