Does osmosis have amino acids or sugar in it?

Osmosis is a process. It does not contain anything. This process is triggered by the unequal concentrations of water, i.e. if a solution with high concentration of salt in it is bordered with a solution with low concentration of salt (if a solution is water it can be considered as 100% water solution, if it is, for example, 5% sugar solution, it can be considered as 95% water solution). So, water molecules move to the side with lower water concentration. Impertant: for only osmosis to happen, the wall between two solutions must be permeable only for water molecules. If it is also permeable for other substances they will also try to equalize their concentrations on the both side by move to the side where their concentration is less, and THIS IS CALLED diffusion.


Does acidic solutions contain higher concentration of H ions than pure water?

Yes, it does.


What is left when you evaporate dilute sulfuric acid?

Driving off the water from dilute sulfuric acid will increase the concentration of the acid to the point where it will contain virtually no water.


Does salt water conduct more electricity than fresh water?

salt water conducts more electricity than fresh water because it contains great amounts of ions which can conduct a lot of electricity


Which type of water freezes first fresh or salt water?

Fresh water freezes at a higher temperature than Salt water. So Fresh Water doesn't have to lose as much heat in a given amount of time in order to Freeze.
