Water is called a universal solvent because of its ability to dissolve different types of substances.
The basic unit of life is cell and a large portion of living cell (60%) is made up of water, this is because cells need water to survive. Biochemical reactions are always ongoing in the living cells and water act as solvents under which these reactions occur. Because of the high solubility of water, it is able to dissolve various substances needed by the body, this makes it easy for the substance to participate in chemical reactions and to move from one point to another. Without water biochemical reactions will not be able to occur in cells and this will lead to the death of the cells.
Answer:
The particles of the medium just vibrate in place.
Explanation:
As they vibrate, they pass the energy of the disturbance to the particles next to them, which pass the energy to the particles next to them, and so on. Particles of the medium don't actually travel along with the wave.
The density of the solid object will be 2.63 g/mL
<h3>What is density?</h3>
Density of objects = mass/volume.
Recall that an object will always displace its own volume when placed in a liquid.
Volume of the solid object = Cylinder reading after immersing the object in the water - cylinder reading before immersing the object in the water.
= 48.1 - 20.4
= 27.8 mL
Mass of the solid object = 73.05 g
Density of the object = 73.05/27.8
= 2.63 g/mL
