Which is more soluble in water sodium carbonate naphthalene or calcium carbonate?
Sodium carbonate is more soluble.
Is calcium phosphate more soluble in warm or cold water?
Any solute is soluble in a warmer solvent, because there is more particle motion, and and the substance is more easily pulled into solution by the solvent particles. So calcium phosphate should be more soluble in warm water.
Why use calcium lactate and not calcium carbonate or other OTC calcium supplements?
Calcium lactate is more soluble in water than calcium carbonate, and is therefore more easily absorbed by the digestive system.
Why does aspirin dissolve in water?
Water is a polar molecule whereas aspirin has no overall charge so the two don't mix very well. Heating the water or adding a few drops of ethanol will make it dissolve a lot faster though. Correction: Aspirin (2-acetoxy-benzoic acid) is a moderately strong acid. It might be called a semi-polar molecule. Ethanol is similar in this respect, and is a good solvent for aspirin. As in all such cases, solubility is determined by the forces between the molecules in solid aspirin compared to the affinity between water and aspirin. The question has no trivial answer. The salts of weak organic acids are usually more soluble than the acids themselves. Adding a base such as sodium hydroxide or ammonia to the water is likely to bring more aspirin into solution - but strictly speaking, the dissolved specis is not 2-acetoxy-benzoic acid, but 2-acetoxy-benzoate.
What nutrients are in soft cheese?
A few I know are calcium, phosphorous, protein, fat soluble vitamins and B vitamins. There is probably more.
What is the difference between extra strength aspirin and regular aspirin?
Extra strength aspirin has more active ingredients than regular strength aspirin. The active ingredient in aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid. The more of this, the more strength. Basically extra strength has more acetylsalicylic acid then regular aspirin.
What is acetamenophine?
It is "aspirin" for those allergic to aspirin (more or less).
What is acetylsalicylic acid more commonly known as?
Aspirin is the more common name for acetylsalicylic acid.
Is ammonium chloride soluble in ethanol?
Yes, ethanol belongs to the alcohol functional group therefore polar, and BaCl2 is polar, so it does dissolve.
Which is more soluble in water NaF or MgO?
Sodium fluoride is more soluble.
Is glucose and fat-soluble?
Fat or more widely known as lipids is not soluble to water glucose is soluble in water.you need to be more specific as to what you think they migth be soluble in.
Why is aspirin more reactive than benzene?
Benzene has a stable structure. Aspirin has an carboxylic group with delocalized electrons. So aspirin is more reactive than benzene.
