What is water in a solution?
The water in a solution is called the solvent
Substances acts to stabalize the pH of the solution?
Substances that act to stabilize the pH of a solution are called buffers.
How do acids behave in water solution?
it acts as a weak acid.
What is the connection between buffer action and Le Chatelier's principle?
Buffer action refers to the ability of a buffer solution to resist changes in its pH when small amounts of acid or base are added. Le Chatelier's principle states that when a system at equilibrium is subjected to a stress, it will respond by shifting in the direction that helps to relieve that stress. In the case of a buffer solution, adding small amounts of acid or base can be considered a stress. The buffer solution will respond by shifting its equilibrium so as to consume the added acid or base, thereby maintaining a relatively stable pH.
Which substance acts as a solvent in solid solution?
the one which is more in amount is the solvent
What would happen if platinum was added to hydrogen peroxide solution?
The platinum acts as catalyst and causes the hydrogen peroxide to decompose into water and oxygen.
Which end acts positive?
hydrogen acts positive
Which Hormone that acts on 3 target organs to increase the blood levels of calcium?
Parathyroid hormone which is a hormone secreted by the parathyroid glands that acts to maintain a constant concentration of calcium in the extracellular fluid.
True or false a compound that contains hydrogen atoms will be an acid when dissolved in water?
False. In order for a compound to be acidic, it must have contain hydrogen atoms that are ionized in aqueous solution. Not all hydrogen atoms in compounds behave this way. For instance, the organic compound methane contains hydrogen but is not an acid. Ammonia also contains hydrogen, but it typically acts as a base, not an acid.
What solution resist change in pH?
The carbonic acid-hydrogencarbonate buffer system. Carbonic acid, H2CO3, acts as the weak acid and hydrogencarbonate, HCO3-, acts as the conjugate base. An increase in H+ ions in the blood is removed by the hydrogencarbonate conjugate base. As the H+ ions are increased, the conjugate base reacts with the H+ ions which causes the position of the equilibrim to shift to the left, which removes most of the added H+ ions. On the other hand, an increase in the OH- ions in the blood is removed by the weak acid. As the OH- ions increase, the small concentration of H+ ions react with the OH- ions which causes the acid to dissociate and pushes the position of the equilibrium to the right to restore most of the H+ ions that have reacted.
What is the function of triethanolamine in lotion?
To increase the pH of cosmetic formulations, low concentration of triethanolamine is used as alkalizing agent. It acts an emulsifier and helps to hold oil and water together in lotions and creams.
What happens when a hydrogen atpm atom acts like a nonmetal in a chemical reaction?
When a hydrogen atom acts like a nonmetal in a chemical reaction, it gains an electron.
Does A stable atmosphere acts to increase fire behavior by enhancing convection?
A stable atmosphere acts to increase fire behavior by enhancing convection
What is water in a solution?

The Intolerable Acts were passed to increase trade.?
The Intolerable Acts were not necessarily passed to increase trade, though that could have been a byproduct. The acts were passed to limit British authority on colonist trade.
What enzyme acts on hydrogen peroxide in living organisms?
Catalase Catalase
