Sound waves are longitudinal waves that is, are transmitted in the same direction of oscillation of the particles in the medium. Electromagnetic waves are transverse ie, the electric and magnetic fields, which are perpendicular to each other, oscillate perpendicularly to the direction of wave propagation.
You are measuring an Intensive property
Different forms of matter have different melting/boiling points. For example, at 100 degrees Celsius, H2O (water) will turn from lliquid to gas. But NaOH (table salt) doesn't even go from solid to liquid until some 800 degrees Celsius. So, in order to figure out which state matter is at 35 Celsius, you'd have to be more specific about what kind of matter...
Protons are positive
Neutrons are neutral
Electrons are negatively charged
In this solution the solvent is water and the solutes are sugar, artificial flavor and artificial color. Another interesting property of solutions is that different concentrations of solute can be made. As all of you are aware, you can make very sweet Kool Aid and less sweet Kool Aid.
