The Doctor
In "The Pearl" by John Steinbeck, the doctor administers ammonia in water to the baby Coyotito after he is stung by a scorpion. This treatment is supposed to help counteract the effects of the venom and save the child's life.
In John Steinbeck's "The Pearl," the doctor's treatment of Coyotito with a mixture of water and ammonia symbolizes the exploitation and oppression of the native people by the colonizers. It highlights the doctor's lack of genuine care for the indigenous community and serves as a criticism of the unequal power dynamics at play in society. This action ultimately leads Kino and Juana to seek the mythical pearl as a means to escape their current circumstances.
Steinbeck describes the mountain pool in "The Pearl" as a place of tranquility and beauty, with water that is clear and cool, surrounded by lush green plants and rocks. It is depicted as a peaceful sanctuary where Kino and his family find solace and connection to nature.
Water is the solvent. Ammonia is the solute.
Not very efficiently, because ammonia dissolves so easily in water due to compatible intermolecular attractions between ammonia and water.
Water freeze before ammonia. Ammonia need high pressure to freeze.
Because ammonia is quite soluble in water, so that not all of the gas produced could be collected over water.
Houshold ammonia is a solution of ammonia (3%) dissolved in water.
Ammonia
Ammonia gas is highly soluble in water. one ml. of water may absorbed hundreds mls. of ammonia, the concentrated aqueous solution of ammonia is known as liquid ammonia.
Ammonia would be the solute and water would be the solvent.
"Th confusuing thing is . . . ." the previous answer. In chem, H2O is a liquid.
Ammonia is a compound, not a mixture. Household ammonia is a homogeneous mixture of ammonia and water.
