Saltwater boils at what temperature?
At a higher temperature than pure water. The exact elevation of the boiling point will depend on the concentration of dissolved salt.
Which lake have a higher elevation or a lower elevation to dissolved mineral?
Higher elevation is going to also have higher atmospheric pressure. My recollection is that the higher pressure of the atmosphere on the surface of the lake will cause a higher level of absorption in the lake itself.
Why does water generally move in the opposite direction of dissolved substances?
Diffusion is the process of a substance moving from an area of a higher concentration to a lower concentration. In this scenario the dissolved substance is the higher concentration and the water would go to an area with the lower concentration.
At what temperature does saltwater boil?
This depends on the concentration of sodium chloride, volume of the solution, beaker, source of heat.
What is the process by which water carries dissolved minerals from higher to lower?
Leaching
What happens to a higher concentration of dissolved molecules on one side of a cell membrrane during the process of diffusion?
The higher concentration begins to diffuse into the area with lower concentration.
How do mineral salts enter the root cell?
Minerals enter the root cells through a process called diffusion.Minerals are found dissolved the soil around the root. When minerals dissolve in water they break up into ions. These ions are very small and enter through the holes in the cell membrane.The absorption of mineral salts take place through the root hairs.When the mineral concentration is higher in the soil than in the cells of the root hair then the minerals pass through the cell membrane -from a higher concentration of minerals in the soiltoa lower concentration of minerals in the root hair cells.This process is called diffusion and does not require energy.
A solution containing a higher concentration of dissolved substances than a cell is termed?
Hypertonic solution
What do you mean by concenteration in chemistry?
It refers to the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent. Say, for example, you were making a salt water solution. The higher the amount of salt dissolved in the water, the higher the concentration of the solution.
What is the process of water to be hardened?
Hard water typically refers to ground water which has higher concentrations of dissolved minerals. To harden water, you simply add the minerals, which are most commonly calcium and magnesium chlorides and sulfates until you get a total mineral concentration of around 150 parts per million.
A body of water that contains a high concentration of dissolved mineral matter?
The body of water which has the highest content of dissolved mineral matter is the Dead Sea. It has a salt content which is 9 times higher than regular sea water, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and other minerals.
Is ocean water hypotonic or hypertonic?
Hypertonic. The concentration of dissolved salts is higher in ocean water than in human cells.
