A solvant is what?
A solvent dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution.
What type of solvent dissolves ionic solids?
Polar, protic solvents will dissolve ionic compounds.Remember, "like dissolves like."Examples of polar solvents include: water, formic acid, and methanol.
Define filtration of cell membrane?
Filtration is the process of removing one substance or material from another by mechanical means.
What is a Hirsch Funnel and how are they used?
They are used for vacuum filtration to separate crystals, or solids, from a liquid. Usually a neoprene adapter is used to fit the funnel to a flask that is attached to some sort of vacuum. A filter paper is used to make sure no solids get through, or clog, the funnel. Typically, it is advised, that hot solutions are not used in vacuum filtration because the reduced pressure will cause solvents to evaporate, and the solid will precipitate out; causing the funnel, and pores of the filter paper, to clog.
Are all solids a pH 7?
Solids don't have a pH value because there are no free H+ ions 'in it'.Free H+ ions (protons) can only exist in polar solvents, actually mostly in water, formed by so called protolyse of an acid.HA (= acid) --> H+ + A- (= base part of that acid)
Nonpolar solvents will most easily dissolve solids that are?
Covalent
What do you call these substances that dissolve solids easily?
Generally, solvents.
How does temperaures affect the solubility of a solute in solvent?
Generally the solubility of solids in solvents increase with the temperature and the solubility of gases in solvents decrease with the temperature.
Metal solutions or solids dissolved in solids are called?
The substance is usually soluble in water or other solvents such as alcohol. It is called soluble salts
Why only liquids are used as solvents but not solids?
In solids, the particles are joined too strongly and are positioned to closely together to allow other particles to mix with it
What is paint thinner and paint gun cleaner are typically classifed as?
They are solvents.
When things dissolve - what is broken?
When ionic solids dissolve, the ionic bonds that make up the lattice are broken. When molecular solids dissolve in non-polar solvents the intermolecular attracations are broken.
A solvant is what?
A solvent dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution.
What type of solvent dissolves ionic solids?
Polar, protic solvents will dissolve ionic compounds.Remember, "like dissolves like."Examples of polar solvents include: water, formic acid, and methanol.
Why does hot water make the tablet dissolve faster?
As a general rule the solubility of solids in water or other solvents is improved raising the temperature.
What is a mixture of solids called?
Typically, we'd call it a "compound".
What units does the us use to measure solids liquids and gas?
This variation is typically small for solids and liquids but much greater for gases.
