What does it mean when cells are bathed in aqueous environment?
Aqueous means water. Environment means surroundings. So aqueous environment simply means 'watery surroundings'. Cells are surrounded by a watery solution called tissue fluid or interstitial fluid. This forms from the blood and contains dissolved food and oxygen needed by the cells and wastes (eg carbon dioxide) produced by the cells.
In what environment do many single-replacement reactions commonly occur?
Many single-replacement reactions occur in 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.
Which element forms an oxide that yields aqueous solutions that are acidic?
The elements carbon, nitrogen, chlorine, bromine, iodine, sulfur, and phosphorus all have this characteristic.
What is the solution process with water as the solvent?
This solution is called water solution or aqueous solution.
Are all elements aqueous?
no
Does an aqueous solution of a base contain only two different elements?
No, a base can have many different elements forming it. Water already has two elements, oxygen and hydrogen, so anything aqueous solution adds to that number.
What is a bioelimination?
A bioelimination is the removal of a substance, especially from aqueous solution, by biochemical activity.

Why can't metals that are high on the activity series like calcium be precipitated from aqueous solution?
because they cant
What is the pH value of bread?
pH is the negative log of the activity of the hydrogen ion in an aqueous solution. A powder is not a solution.
What is the pH value of bread powder?
pH is the negative log of the activity of the hydrogen ion in an aqueous solution. A powder is not a solution.
What is the net ionic equation for the reaction of aqueous sodium chloride with aqueous mercury nitrate?
Cl(aq)+Ag(aq)-->AgCl(s) *do not forget to writte the charges on the elements, Cl 1 minus
In what environment do many single-replacement reactions commonly occur?
Many single-replacement reactions occur in an aqueous solution.
What are the lipids within the fluid mosaic of the plasma membranes held in place by?
They are held together by hydrophobic interactions in which the hydrophilic 'heads' (phosphate group) of the phospholipid face outwards towards the aqueous environment while the hydrophobic 'tails' (long hydrocarbon chains of fatty acids) face inwards, away from the aqueous environment.
What types of bonds are apt to be more common in the nonaqueous interior environment of a protein than in the aqueous surface environment of a protein?
Hydrophobic bonds such as nonpolar covalent bonds, especially hydrocarbons.
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.
