What is the difference between iodine solution and Benedict's solution?
Benedict's solution is used to test for simple sugars and iodine is used to test for starches.
Potassium chloride plus sodium nitrate equation?
Actually, this is a very simple metathesis reaction. Dissolving NaNO3 and KCl in hot water will produce a solution of Na+, K+, NO3-, and Cl- ions. Simply cooling this solution will cause the anion/cation combination with the lowest solubility to selectively precipitate out. Looking at some data for these salts:KCl: 280g/L (0°C)NaNO3: 730g/L (0°C)KNO3: 130g/L (0°C)NaCl: 360g/L (0°C)Potassium nitrate has a relatively steep solubility vs temperature curve, and is the least soluble at 0°C, so it will crystallize very readily from a hot saturated solution that has been chilled to around the freezing point of pure water. Filtering out and collecting the precipitated KNO3 just leaves you with a solution of mostly Na+ and Cl- ions. The solubility of NaCl is quite high and doesn't change much with temperature, so it's possible to extract quite pure KNO3 directly from this reaction.
What are examples of standard ground observations for simple weather forecast?
temperature, change in barometric pressure, humidity
How does temperature affect pH levels in soil?
This is quite simple. Temperature affects the pH levels in soil because of the heat. Depending on the intensity, the pH level in the soil will either increase or decrease to balance.
Is salt water suspension?
A simple solution of salt in water is not a suspension; instead it is a true solution. If the salt water comes from a polluted part of the ocean, it may well be a suspension, but not because of its salt content.
What type of reactant will decompose into simple elements?
binary compound
What is the difference between genome and karyotype?
the difference is simple it helps to decompose
What is the difference between a simple solution and dilute solution?
Any difference exist. A simple solution may be a diluted solution.
How can you decompose figures to find area?
Try to decompose the figure into simple figures, for which formulae are known - such as triangles, rectangles, circular segments, etc.
When was The Simple Solution to Rubik's Cube created?

How many pages does The Simple Solution to Rubik's Cube have?
The Simple Solution to Rubik's Cube has 64 pages.
What is biodegradable detergent?
detergent which decompose by the action of bacteria in to simple compound is called biodegradable detergent.
What is the ISBN of The Simple Solution to Rubik's Cube?
The ISBN of The Simple Solution to Rubik's Cube is 0-553-14017-5.
What actors and actresses appeared in A Simple Solution - 2009?

What is ozone's solution?
The ozone's solution is very simple. We have to ban CFC's.
What is a simple example of a solution?
Vinegar is a solution of acetic acid in water.
How can you reclaim a dissolved solid?
Simple - remove the solution! Most often the solution is evaporated. The solid will frequently form crystals which are recovered. This is how salt and sugar are manufactured. Sometimes the dissolved substance will decompose if heated. Lowering the pressure lowers the boiling point, so a vacuum evaporator can be used. omg im sooo clever :P :D
