Is fixed composition a caracteritic of a mixture?
A fixed composition is not a characteristic of a mixture. The composition of a mixture can vary, unlike the composition of a compound that forms a chemical reaction.
What are the solute and solvent in tincture of iodine?
The solute is iodine. The solvent is a mixture of alcohol and water. There is no single fixed ratio for the mixture of alcohol and water but it usually is around a 50/50 mixture of water and alcohol with the iodine ranging from about 2% to 7% in concentration.
Why when women get fixed or tubes tied do they still minstrate unlike when you get your cat or dog fixed?
B/c when fixing a pet body parts are removed, but when a woman has her tubes tied it's just like plugging a tube. All parts remain, they're just not connected any more.
Why are cell shapes different for each cell?
Plant cells usually have a fixed shape while animal cells usually have an irregular shape. Plants do not have bones unlike animals and thus have a cellulose cell wall to cause the cell to have a fixed shape. Thus, cell shapes are different for each cell.
Hemagglutination-inhibition test description?
It is the measures of the ability of soluble antigen to inhibit the agglutination of antigen-coated red blood cells by antibodies. In this test, a fixed amount of antibodies to the antigen in question is mixed with a fixed amount of red blood cells coated with the antigen (research on passive hemagglutination). Also included in the mixture are different amounts of the sample to be analyzed for the presence of the antigen. If the sample contains the antigen, the soluble antigen will compete with the antigen coated on the red blood cells for binding to the antibodies, thereby inhibiting the agglutination of the red blood cells.
What are the bad things about railroads?

True

To make a saturated solution of benzoic acid using benzene as the solvent how much is need of each?
I can't find a number, but I found this: Benzoic acid is slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, very slightly soluble in benzene and acetone. (see link on the left under Web Links) This implies not very much benzoic acid will dissolve in benzene. This other site (the MSDS for benzoic acid) says this: SOLVENT SOLUBILITY: Soluble in alcohol, ether, benzene, chloroform, acetone, carbon disulfide, oil of turpentine, carbon tetrachloride, fixed and volatile oils; slightly soluble in petroleum ether, hexane. This does make it sound fairly soluble! Hard to say which is right. This can easily be determined by experiment however!
Does gelatin dissolve in pure alcohol?
According to the US Pharmacopaeia Solubility reference tables: <Gelatin is> insoluble in cold water, but swells and softens when immersed in it, gradually absorbing from 5 to 10 times its own weight of water. Soluble in hot water, in 6 N acetic acid, and in a hot mixture of glycerin and water. Insoluble in alcohol, in chloroform, in ether, and in fixed and volatile oils.
How would you distinguish a fundamental unit form a derived unit?
a fundamental unit is fixed in unlike a derived unit which is varying
How do get rid of spray tan?
eventhough it might hurt taking some rubbing alcohol and gently rub the area where the spray tan is.....I had that same problem and alcohol fixed the problem.
Why is it good for fertilizer to be insoluble?
There are three points here. Firstly, soluble fertilizers can leach through the soil causing pollution. Secondly, putting a crop's entire fertilizer on the land in soluble form in spring may make the soil solution too concentrated for seedlings. Lastly, soluble PHOSPHATE inhibits mycorrhizal growth and gets fixed into unavailable forms.
