The ions of salt are very attracted to the dipoles of water molecules, which results in more water molecules being attracted to salt ions than gas molecules. Because of this, there are less molecules capable of dissolving the gas.

Gases are less soluble in salt water than in pure water because the presence of salt ions in the water disrupts the hydrogen bonding between water molecules. This reduces the ability of gases to dissolve in the water, as the solubility of gases is primarily dependent on the strength of the intermolecular forces in the solvent. Additionally, the salt ions may also compete with the gas molecules for solvation, further decreasing gas solubility.

Is FeCl3 soluble in water?
No, pure FeCl3 is not aqueous.
How do you soluble the chlorophyll in acetone?
Pure isolated chlorophyll is soluble in acetone
Are organic compounds less soluble in water?
Organic compounds have to be defined as best as possible to determine what is soluble in water. Organic compounds are molecules composed with carbons--pure hydrocarbons like octane would not be soluble in water. Organic compounds can also have electronegative molecules in it. Dichloroethane, methanol, ethanol, etc are soluble in water. However, most organic compounds will more likely have low solubility in water, since increasing the number of carbon molecules in any compound drastically reduces water solubility.
Is rain water a compound or a mixture?
Rain water is mixture, it is not a pure compound but contains dissolved gases and somtimes particulate matter.
Is salt water less dence then pure water?
no it contains salt making it denser
Is pure ammonia soluble in hot or cold water?
Absolutely..it is soluble
Is FeCl3 soluble in water?
No, pure FeCl3 is not aqueous.
How do you cook 100 percent pure heroin?
You don't. Pure heroin is very soluble in water.
Is BaCO3 barium carbonate more soluble in an acidic solution or pure water?
BaCO3 would be more soluble in an acidic solution than in the water
Is magnesium hydroxide more soluble in an acidic solution or pure water?
Magnesium hydroxide is more soluble in an acidic solution.
Which gas may be collected over water?
No, only those that do not dissolve in water, or they will dissolve in the water rather than bubble through it to be collected. Examples of gases that can be collected over water include:- Hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen (only slightly soluble), methane, carbon monoxide. Examples of gases that can just be collected over water (quie soluble - so much will be dissolved in the water as well):- Nitrogen dioxide, carbon dioxide, chlorine Examples of gases that are too soluble to be collected over water:- hydrogen chloride, ammonia (which is the most soluble of all gases) Both of these gases are collected by displacement of air - hydrogen chloride by the gas jar being held as in a glass - with the base on the table - because it is heavier than air (chlorine and carbod dioxide can be collected like this too) and and ammonia by the gas jar being held upside down to trap the ammonia (as it is lighter than air).
Describe the make up of pure water?
Chemically pure water is simply dihydrogen oxide or hydronium hydroxide. Distilled pure water is chemically pure water plus some gases (oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide) from contact with the air and possibly some light organics with B.P. s around 100oC De ionized pure water is chemically pure water with non-polar compounds and potentially some gases and microorganisms plus some gases (oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide) from contact with the air Filtered pure water is chemically pure water with no organic or inorganic particles but any dissolved materials and salts plus some gases (oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide) from contact with the air Carbon filtered water is chemically pure water and no particulate or organic components and no dissolved metals plus some gases (oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide) from contact with the air.
Is K2CO3 likely to be soluble in water?
Yes, ALL pure potassium salts are soluble in water. (Not all of the so-called mixed, complex or dual metal salts)
Is Cooking with pure water takes less time or ground water?
less
How do you indicate if it is pure or soluble?
if it dissolves it's soluble
Which is more soluble in pure water at room temperature Lead Nitrate or Lead Sulphate?
All nitrates including Lead nitrate is soluble in water but Lead sulphate is almost insoluble.
What is flowing slower pure water or Perrier water?
Pure because it has less carbon molecules in it
