One definition of "reduction" in chemistry is gaining electrons, and alkali metals readily give up their single valence electrons to another more electronegative atom. In fact, neutral group 1A atoms are so reductive that they can not exist for long in aqueous solutions and will displace hydrogen gas from the water molecules unless there is some other substance even more easily reduced in the solution.
What else can I help you with?
Water is a solvent in a(n) what solution?
'An Aqueous' solution. NB The word 'aqueous' comes from Latin ; 'aqua' meaning 'water'.
What is the term for a solution made in water?
The term for a solution made in water is an aqueous solution.
What solutions in which water is the solvent are called?
Aqueous solutions are solutions in which water is the solvent. Anything that dissolves in water forms an aqueous solution.
Is a aqueous solution a solution that contains all the solute that it can hold?
the solution itself, yes. it must contain water to be called an aqueous solution. the term aqueous designates water as the solvent/diluent.
How do you use the word aqueous in a sentence?
an aqueous solution is a solution made of water.
How is an aqueous solution different from other solutions?
In an aqueous solution the solvent is water.
What is aqueous solvent?
The aqueous solvent is water in a solution. An aqueous solution is a mixture that consists of the solvent water and a substance called a solute. For example, by dissolving the solute sugar in water, you get an aqueous solution.
Is sugar solution in water an aqueous solution?
Yes, a sugar solution in water is considered an aqueous solution because it is a mixture where sugar (a solute) is dissolved in water (a solvent) to form a homogeneous solution. The majority component, water, determines the solution's classification as aqueous.
What are the differences between aqueous solutions and non aqueous solutions?
A solution with solvent as water is known as aqueous solution while a sloution with solvent not as a water is called non-aqueous solution. Arhum Adnan
What is a Term used to describe a solution mostly formed of water?
aqueous
What is the pKa of H3O in aqueous solution?
The pKa of H3O in aqueous solution is approximately -1.74.
What is an aqueos solution?
An *aqueous* solution is formed when a substance is dissolved in water. The term "aqueous" stands for the latin word "aqua" which means water.
