We find that organic and/or inorganic sediments are laid down in water. These sediments are insoluble materials that are transported to the place where they are deposited in a process called (you guessed it) deposition. Materials dissolved in the water (soluble material, like salts and other minerals) may be laid down if the water is evaporated off over time.

The sediments that are laid down in water are known as fluvial (deposited in rivers and streams) and lucustrine (lake) sediments.

When dissolved in water, acids will release hydrogen ions (H+).


Can dissolved particles be removed by filter?

Not if they are dissolved - if they are then they're of molecular size.


What does dissolved sugar look like when mixed with water?

When sugar is dissolved in water, it appears as a clear, transparent solution with no visible sugar particles.


How do disolved particles in water affect the movement of free water molecules?

Releasing free electrons is how dissolved particles in water affect the movement of water molecules.


What state is salt in when it is dissolved in water?

When salt is dissolved in water, it is in a dissolved state where the salt particles break apart into ions. This creates a solution where the salt ions are surrounded by water molecules.


How do you get dissolved particles out of dirty water?

One way to remove dissolved particles from dirty water is through a process called filtration, where the water is passed through a filter that can trap the particles. Another method is through distillation, where the water is boiled and the steam is collected and condensed back into liquid, leaving behind the dissolved particles. Additionally, chemical methods like using coagulants or flocculants can be used to clump the particles together for easier removal.


What is a substance is dissolved in water?

How can you use particle theory to explain how you get salt from salty water?

In salty water, salt is dissolved at a molecular level. When the water evaporates, the concentration of salt particles in the remaining water increases. Eventually, the water evaporates completely, leaving behind the salt particles that were originally dissolved in the water.

What consists of particles of matter dissolved in another substance?

A solution consists of particles of matter dissolved in another substance. These particles are typically molecules or ions that are dispersed and evenly distributed throughout the solvent. Examples of solutions include saltwater and sugar dissolved in water.


What happens to the conductivity of water when an acid is dissolved in it?

When an acid is dissolved in water, it increases the conductivity of water. This is because acids dissociate into ions in water, increasing the presence of charged particles that can conduct electricity.
