The solute and solvent
Common causes of a bottom bracket squeak on a bicycle include worn bearings, loose components, or lack of lubrication. Solutions may involve replacing the bearings, tightening the components, or applying grease to the bottom bracket.
Because solutions contain two or more components.
Common series circuit problems include a single component failure disrupting the entire circuit, unequal voltage distribution across components, and increased resistance leading to reduced current flow. Solutions include checking and replacing faulty components, ensuring proper voltage distribution through resistors, and reducing resistance by using thicker wires or adding additional components in parallel.
Solutions are a type of mixture where the components are evenly distributed at a molecular level, while mixtures can have uneven distribution of components. Solutions have a single phase, while mixtures can have multiple phases.
Common causes of PVC joint leaks include improper installation, damage to the pipe or fittings, and excessive pressure. Solutions typically involve resealing the joint with PVC cement, replacing damaged components, and ensuring proper installation techniques are followed.
Common signs of bike shifting problems include difficulty shifting gears, chain slipping, or the chain not moving smoothly between gears. Solutions may include adjusting the derailleur, checking the cable tension, lubricating the chain, or replacing worn-out components.
Common solutions
A true solution consists of a minimum of two components, namely a solvent and a solute.
A heterogeneous solution combines 2 or more solutions that are not chemically combined. A homogeneous solution is when the components are uniformly distributed.
Solutions are homogeneous mixtures with uniform composition throughout. They consist of a solute dissolved in a solvent. Solutions are typically transparent and do not separate upon standing. They can vary in concentration and can have physical properties, such as boiling point and freezing point, different from those of the individual components.
Common signs of a noisy bottom bracket on a bicycle include creaking or grinding sounds while pedaling. Solutions may involve cleaning and lubricating the bottom bracket, tightening any loose components, or replacing worn bearings or the bottom bracket altogether.
Common causes of a leaky PVC joint in plumbing systems include improper installation, damage to the pipe or fittings, and high water pressure. Solutions typically involve resealing the joint with plumber's tape or sealant, tightening the fittings, or replacing damaged components.
