How is hydrogen ion concentration changed as pH changes?
It's not that the concentration of H+ ions goes up because pH goes up. Instead, the pH goes down because H+ concentration increases. I know that's a really subtle difference, but it is crucial. If you're good at math this may help: pH= -log [H+] where [H+] simply means concentration of hydrogen ions. So, you can see from this formula that as the concentration of hydrogen ions increase, the pH will decrease because it is a negative log. You can also see that the pH is a function of hydrogen concentration. I hope that clears some ideas up for you. Good luck!
Is molality or molarity expressed in grams of solute instead of moles of solute?
Molarity is a measure of the concentration of a solution, and therefore cannot be said to be just moles.It is in fact moles per litre (mol/L), or molars.
Why it is preferable to allow the hot solution to cool gradually instead of chiling immediately in an ice -bath?
If you cool too quickly, a saturated solution at a higher temperature can 'crash' out of solution.
Do turtles maintain homeostasis?
No. Crocodiles are ectothermic. Like all reptiles, they cannot generate their own body heat (like mammals do) - instead, they need to bask in the sun (or heat lamp in captivity) to raise their temperature to a 'working' level.
Would you see the same effect in elodea cells if you used a glucose solution instead of a water solution?
you would not see the same effect because there is sugar in one and not in the other
Why the concentration of solutions used for intravenous feeding must be controlled carefully?
If not controlled carefully, the resulting solution could be hypertonic or hypotonic, instead of being isotonic. This would cause pain at the infusion site, and would destroy cells that it came in contact with.
When is intravenous feeding used instead of tube feeding?
Intravenous feeding can supply some or all of the nutrients these patients need.
Which statement best describes the process of making a solution by diluting a stock solution?
You can dilute by adding distilled water. When diluting, be sure to add the solution to water several times instead of adding water to the solution (especially if it is highly concentrated).
Why is a dilute solution of oleic acid used instead of pure oleic acid?
The text is asking why a solution of oleic acid that has been weakened with water is used instead of pure oleic acid. Oleic acid is a type of fatty acid commonly found in animal and vegetable fats and oils. Diluting the solution may be necessary for certain applications to achieve a desired concentration or to prevent adverse effects.
Can consuming a sports drink instead of water after exercising help maintain homeostasis?
i believe that both would help maintain homeostasis but the energy drink would give you more endurance
What word can you use instead of solution?
Answer.
Can rocks maintain homeostasis?
Why are you asking me...go read about instead of wining about online like a little baby.
What effect does the concentration of H ions have on the nature of the solution?
pH is -log10[H3O+]; the negative logarithm (with base 10) of the hydronium concentration (hydrogen ions do not float around on their own. Instead they attach to a water molecule and become a hydronium ion).
Can normal saline solution be used instead of Ringer's solution in microbiology labs?
no
Why did they called it concentration camps instead of death camps?
All camps were technically concentration camps, generally the extermination camps were called 'death camps'.
How many times greater is the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution with pH of 4 instead of 5?
there are more H+ ions in a pH 2 solution that in a pH 4 solution. The hydrogen ion (H+ ion) is responsible for the acidity of a substance and so, the more of it there is, the more acidic it is (higher acidity= lower pH) :)
A solution that contains the maximum amount of solute is a unsaturated solution?
A solution that contains the maximum amount of solute is NOT an unsaturated solution.It is called to be saturated instead.
