No, starch cannot absorb sodium ions present in water. Starch is a carbohydrate polymer and does not have specific binding sites for sodium ions. Other materials such as ion exchange resins or zeolites are commonly used to remove sodium ions from water.

Sodium carbonate is soluble in water


Is starch soluble to sodium chloride?

Yes, these two chemical compounds are soluble in water.


What is present in soft water?

Soft water contains sodium(cation). Sodium is highly water soluble and this makes water soft.


What is amount of sodium hydroxide present in 1litre of water?

In pure water, none.


When sodium sulfate dissolves in water what ion would be present in the solution?

When sodium sulfate dissolves in water, it dissociates into sodium ions (Na⁺) and sulfate ions (SO₄²⁻). These ions would be present in the solution along with water molecules.


What is the ionic species present in an aqueous solution in sodium chloride?

In an aqueous solution of sodium chloride (NaCl), the ionic species present are sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-). Sodium chloride dissociates into its ions when dissolved in water, leading to the formation of these two ionic species.


Is starch present in tomato?

Tomatoes contain very low levels of starch, as they primarily consist of water, sugars, and organic acids. The starch content in tomatoes is minimal compared to other vegetables and fruits. Instead, tomatoes are known for their high levels of lycopene, vitamins, and antioxidants. Overall, while starch is present, it is not a significant component of tomatoes.


Is potato starch the same as corn starch?

Tapioca starch has similar properties to corn starch. The amylose content of tapioca starch is about the same as corn starch but there are some phosphate groups present in tapioca which I think affect the solubility of starches in water.


What ions are present in sodium sulphate solution?

Dissolving in water (aq):Na2SO4 --> 2(Na+)aq + (SO42-)aq


What species are present when sodium carbonate is placed in water?

When sodium carbonate is placed in water, it dissociates to form sodium ions (Na+) and carbonate ions (CO3^2-). These ions attract water molecules and hydrate, hence the presence of sodium ions and carbonate ions in solution.


Do halite crystals form when a solution of water and salt dissolves?

After the evaporation of water sodium chloride crystals are present.


Which is present in sea water in greater amount between sodium chloride and calsium?

I would say sodium chloride as it is also known as salt-water, calcium is found in chalky cliffs "white cliffs of dover", so near there may be a high amount but sodium chloride would be in greater amounts in the majority of sea water
